I know that the usual answer to this question is: it has very little effect...
But there are 2 special abilities for an HB (Lower the shoulder and Power Through) where Size is explicitly mentioned. So is the size more important than usual? Or are there examples of "small", succesfull Power Backs?
Thanks for the help

A 6'3" 180 lb back with 9 Power Through is going to be a decent back. Just not as good as a 5'11" 220 lb back with 9 Power Through.

So you are saying that a small HB is better than a tall one? I would have thought taller is better...or is only the weight important?

It doesn't make any noticeable difference.

I dnt think it wil matter really. I certainly wouldn't pass up a nice 18 primary stat roll with all 8's if the player was short.

as in penis size?

4.5 yards.

The 5'11" 220 lb back is stockier, and has more lbs/sq inch, so he's denser than the 6'3" 180 lb back. Basically, when the SAs say "bigger", they mean denser.

Jamal Lewis is 5'11" 245 and he's much more of a tackle-breaker than the 6'2" 210 lb Darren McFadden. It's because he's stockier. Shorter+heavier=denser, taller+lighter=lanky and less dense.

That's why you see the WRs out there running around like Sidney Rice at 6'4" 210 lbs and they can't break a tackle worth a shit. Then, you get to Steve Smith at 5'9" 185 lbs breaking tackles left and right. Sure, he's lighter, but he's a lot shorter, so he's stockier. I usually use a conversion rate of 1"=5 lbs, so if Smith were 6'4", he'd weigh 220 lbs.

It's kind of complicated, but once you think about it, it's really common sense. It's the difference between running into a 8x8 brick wall and a 16x16 wall made of cardboard.

Considering the creator and coder of the game has explicitly said that he made it so that a players height and weight had little to no effect on their performance, I disagree with your conclusion. In reality? Yes, Just look at a guy like McFadden compared to Purple Jesus or Larry Johnson (in his prime) or any of the short yardage backs in the NFL (Deuce).

Thank god. I was kind of banking on this when I created my guy. So far he's been inconsistent (I haven't invested in special abilities) but it'll be nice to know that he'll do fine once I work on the SA's. My guy is 5'11 215, I settled for that because of a great attribute roll.
