player body type ?

[mcavner]

Well I decided to try this out and it totally works. Thanks to the guys who posted the guides and the techno genius types who cracked and designed the editors.

Any suggestions as to a global edit approach?

When you export the file from the Dynasty Editor to Excel you lose the headings. Anyone take note as to which columns are the arm definition and size columns?

[mcavner]

Just used the Dynasty Editor mass edits button... duh. No need to export at all. Added +3 to arm size for everyone at that seems to have done the trick for the most part. Maybe there's somebody in my NCAA somewhere with silly skinny arms, but I haven't seen him yet.

And just as a note, as to those suggestions above, pretty spot on. That said, I do find size 21 a little small for DTs and interior linemen - for them if you want the guy to look jacked I'd go with 21. Size 21, to my eye, is the real 'big arm' setting. I actually really like 6 defintion and 21 size.

Defintion/Size
7 and 4 decent for qb
8 and 0... actually looks ok for safety/wr (but I go minimum 3 for size)
7 and 5 = decent midsized arm for 210ish lbs (nice for FS, big WR)
7 and 8 = decent RB arm
8 and 5 good for fs, big cb
7 and 15 good for TE and LB and jacked RB/FB
10 and 24 - decent for lb, rb, fb, smallish de (but I find too small for bigger OL and DT and big DE)
10 and 21 = big arms (good for DT and OL)
6 and 21 looks really big, like it

And it takes, literally, two minutes. Well worth it - it's so nice recruiting knowing whoever you sign will look decent. It had been a decade of worrying that I'm going to have to recruit two in each position and then keeping the better build, or finding workarounds like recruiting seven defensive tackles and changing their positions and ratings so you don't have a team of noodle-armed players.
