Re: Height (jump)

Not sure if this has been suggested already, but I'll throw my two cents worth out regarding the height of players in certain positions especially that of wide receiver! Needless to say speed is a factor in this game, so I'm thinking why isn't height, more specifically a leaping ability (jump)? I think this would add another dimension to the game considering on a horizontal plane you take speed into consideration, why not add the vertical dimension as well? I also believe that if a receiver is taller than a corner, say 6-foot 2 receiver versus five foot nine corner, it would be nice if you can factor in that window of opportunity Advantage for the receiver here as you would for Speed! Also if other positions can have this ability, it would also help for cornerbacks as well

this should happen

In real life you can see the difference in Height between WRS like the tall ones can outjump the smaller DBS

Smaller WRs you probably cant throw a jump ball for them and expect them to get them all the time .

I believe, according to Setherick, a receiver's height is the one place where it is taken into account. Only place where height factors in for the exact reason you brought up.

Do Height Matters in this game?


Yes. Right now the only place height is used is in the flight path of the ball when a player can tip/catch it, but there are plans to include more areas that it impacts the game as it gets further developed.
