If height and weight don't mean anything, doesn't that mean that EA's entire momentum engine is bogus? Because according to the laws of physics, and objects mass must be taken into account when calculating momentum. Without mass, there is NO momentum.

That's sort of an interesting relevation--that proves that there are no physics involved with their system, and that realism associated with that is false.

I like to call EA's so-called momentum something different--rolling ball physics. Imagine your player as a ball, and try and balance him on a board--there's your player movement model. I don't know about you, but I don't move like a rolling ball--however, if I was a player in NCAA 2004 that's how I'd move on the field. If you doubt me, go play super monkey ball 2 for a while--it's uncanny how the ball moves just a player in NCAA 2004.
