Height and weight should impact play on the field, not the useless OVR rating.

The OVR should die, and STR should be rated on a scale typical for their position. For example, a WR shouldn't be able to get as high a STR as even a weak DT.

Either that or make STR "relative" to position. A WR with 100 STR is not the same as a DT with 100 STR (the strongest WR in the game is not going to be as strong as the strongest DT in the game).

They can have weight influence that as well, either by modifying the rating (low weight lowers STR, so a player that would have had 100 STR now has 80 because he weighs only 240 LBs) or by making that part of the relative scale (a DT with 100 STR and 300 lbs is going to be stronger then a DT with 100 STR and 250 lbs)

Could do this as well for anything else weight would impact, like hit power, blocking, or trucking.
