It all looks great but 1 thing is bugging me...

[Schiltzenberger]

At the player creation screen we see attributes going up and down depending on height and weight adjustments...... obviously there are pros and cons to the adjustments.

However, the attributes all go negative when the wingspan is made wider. Where are the pros of a bigger wingspan?

I have always made players with a long wingspan, it should help on D, it should help my 5'10" PG play a bit taller.... steals, blocks and overall D should improve with a bigger wingspan. Same with my C when I make him, it should help on D.

But the screen doesn't show any pro to having long arms...... so everyone is gonna have a Kevin Willis t-rex looking myplayer.

Is there a hidden benefit or what? is it better for D like I said?
What's doing 2K? I don't wanna be a t-rex.

If I chop my arms off and stick my hands on my shoulders does that give me 99 shooting?

There are pros and cons to any changes you make to the body...

I know there should be, and probably is, but on the video they only show attributes going down when made longer and up when made shorter.

They need to show what attributes will have the opposite effect of the ones shown, so we can make a more calculated judgement.

ATM it just shows shooting and some other attributes get better with short arms, so 99% of the myplayers will have the lowest wingspan possible.

It goes unsaid because naturally your reach will be longer so it will help for blocking and stealing the ball.

This.

Wingspan (and height) will give huge benefits regardless of statistics, so it was needed for balance.

Yeah IRL it does.... in 2K it never does. Any positive for the big wingspan was easily drowned out by different badges and animations.

The height/weight..... speed/acceleration adjustment stuff goes unsaid too. Why bother with that then?

I'm hoping it's more like someone in the devs forgot to add the defensive adjustments to that screen.
