This year we’ve added counter-scaling in the X-Z plane as well so the big guys won’t be able to cover more ground horizontally than others just because they are big. This should definitely help de-emphasize height in favor of positioning with respect to the rebounding game. In addition, we added more low-jumping rebound content so that we could lower the allowable jump height of our more vertically-challenged players."
That's cool but big men really should dominate the boards against smaller players, that's how you punish teams that play small lineups.
