6'1 173 Pound OLB

[hoopla32]

Just landed the 21st ranked DE in my recruiting class. He's a 4* and ranked 253rd overall. His height and weight.......5'11" 221

The 221 pounds isn't that bad until you see he's also just 5'11".

Cool story. I really don't see it as cheating to edit anything to make the game more enjoyable. I doubt anyone is really talking about turning a freshman into a 99 overall player anyway. People just want the game of college football to be represented better.

The only time I really edit players is if I give them a position swap. Like a DE to OLB for the 3-4 will get a ratings boost in coverage to make him a bit more... capable. But no player is going to get a ton of attributes changed just to make them super man on the field.

The #4 Weakside DE is 6'4" 210
The #25 OLB in the country is 6'1" 190
The #21 DT in the country is 6'6" 268
The #2 OG in the country is 6'4" 260
5 of the 13 top TE's are 225 lbs or less, 3 of whom are less than 220

Seems like EA is pretty spot on to me, my only issues come after the recruiting, I haven't observed proper weight progression (adding 20+ lbs very quickly and continuing from there) nor have I observed any disadvantages with regard to height for non position players. Through my own observations I am quite certain that weight matters for sim stats but not for played games.

The #25 OLB in the country is 6'1" 190 - Again, this time a 15 pound difference. I posted an OLB at 6'3" 175. I can live with 6'1" 190-200. The #21 DT in the country is 6'6" 268 - That's ideal DT size for an incoming freshman. The DT I posted is 7 inches shorter and about 10 pounds lighter. Actually 6'6" 268 is great DE size. In some systems I think coaches prefer the shorter more "squat" DT's." 5 of the 13 top TE's are 225 lbs or less, 3 of whom are less than 220 - Are any of those TE's just 6'1" like the player I posted?

Look, I know there are top recruits at their respective positions every year that aren't of ideal size. I was just pointing out some players I recruited whose l noticed. I do tend to add 5-10 pounds to such recruits due to the way players progress in terms of putting on weight throughout their career on the game.

i had this 5 star LB that was 6'5... and 247lbs. i switched him to DE immediately and his RS Jr year he was a beast, so good to the point i felt like i was cheating. same thing with a SS dat i brought to Sam LB

I could have sworn height and weight at ZERO impact on their abilities. This is why they don't bother to program a system that makes sense. If it actually mattered, then a 230 lb fullback should be able to plow through a guy like that every time. Guess what? He doesn't. Edit it if it bothers you, but it has no impact what-so-ever on a player. Receiver is my only guess where you might see a difference, and even then, I bet a 5' nothin corner could still defend passes on a 6'6 receiver with no hands.

Sean Spence was 186 coming out of HS and now one of the best linebackers in the country.
