If they want this to be more reflective, this is a simple addition

Did you really have a player grow? I have never had a player change height or weight over 4-5 years

I know I have had players get taller. I haven't really checked weight, but some do get taller.

if she tells you it doesn't, she is lying and thinks you have a small *****.

yeah i know

LOL

The one place I'd like to see it actually make a difference is in the likelihood of a player getting his shots blocked. For example, a 6'8" PF would be more likely to have his shot blocked than a 6'11" PF with the same ratings.

I would love to see height/weight/speed factors added to the game.

A 7'1 kid at 241 lbs with 52 speed would be unreal :)

it'd be really cool for matchups. for instance, a 5'11 SG is better defensively against a 6'0 guy than a 6'5 guy, all else equal.

in real life it is not "built into the ratings." it's a rating by itself.

If i remember correctly, and it's been a while so i'm very likely wrong (particularly since i thought it was pre-potential), but i remember them saying something to the effect that if you saw a growth in the player (for ex. 6'8 to 6'10 over the summer) then you'd likely see a corresponding improvement in something like Reb or SB. It's probably not all that visible at DI or even DII since players have those categories already maxed out, but I'd think you'd might be able to see something at the DIII or lower DII levels

If a player grows in height during the offseason his rebounding will increase as well. IDK about SB but height has an impact on the rebounding rating. Theres nothing hidden about it though. It makes sense in a way. The rebounding rating takes into acount everything that has to do with rebound including height, skill, and desire to go after the ball.
