SGO Video: Does Height Matter? (Hint: It doesn't)

[Vanilla_Gorilla]

Every Madden Developer should see this.

Obviously, the engine isn't tailored to make animations or actions for 7'0" players but that doesn't excuse the fact that physics are egregiously exempt from catching passes.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

This video isn’t about does height not matter.....

It’s also the fact that

Catch rating doesn’t matter
Route runnng doesn’t matter
Spectacular catch doesn’t matter

It’s the fact about the stupid force field that allows a midget to knock a ball out where clearly he can’t get to.

I doubt hardly anyone watched the video at all

This takes me back to when guys like Apex would make videos about things like this.

I have a 6-8 92 jump TE in an online CFM, and he has lost jump balls to dudes who are 5-10. Disgraceful.

This is like if you were playing 2k and Lou Williams could defend Embiid in the post. It is so bad for this day and age.

Yea, it definitely mattered in the old gen games.

They decided this was a smart idea, it should of never been introduced into the game. Made the game feel completely inorganic and contrived. Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

Not true don’t know how long you have been playing but 98-2002 throwing to Moss was unstoppable between his speed and height. Also in later years megatrons height was a difference maker on one one jump balls.
