Is 105 kg's good enough for a LB ? I think 105 kg's for an LB or any position other OL and DL is great.
So why should an LB have to better 105 kg's to gain more strength according to the engine.
I had to increase the weight of my player to gain more strentgh....WHY?
His skill for strentgh is 17 but remains 16 until he eats more burgers. But IMO these conditions mean that the players have to be something other than human, or do i live in midget world? Are the GI players just monsters....
I saw a player on real tv and he looked 100kg's of muscle and tall but in GI are the LB'S defending against players who are super human, i mean RB"S especially.
Again, why should my LB be bigger than an RB or TE?
A heavy tight end is what, above 150 kg's? to gain a strentgh of 20 skill?
To me 150kg's is absolutley too big or fat etc.
What is the perfect weight for a position.

I doubt it would make any sense to create such a list NOW. We know nothing about the new engine (if it really comes true), and this engine doesnt take the physicals (the BMI) into account.

You are correct, however, we have paid for the nutrition centre so i think it will happen.
If it does happen, do you think the requirements for weight to add to strength is a bit unrealistic? Even to a computer generated game.

We paid for so much we never got - including American Football.

Yes, I do. When you have a look at NFL players: Why an OL only needs to be fat (only)? Why a DB doesnt profit from having some strength? However, it all depends on how they raise the impact you get out of speed and strength per position.

Maybe a players talent will be beneficial, and substitute the skill level. Could be more of an option without the overexpense. 100% fitness i also a must. My father told me its not how big you are just how fit. But that is australian rugby...In real NFL, i think the game is too slow between plays to have fitness a real benefit factor. These guys are machines anyway so you could not drink 2 beers a week withtout having your spot on the team compromised. bottoms up

American Football players use anaerobic exercises for speed, strength and power all at once. Not understanding the game will make you not be aware of the dynamics of the sport.

Australia mainstream sports would require more aerobic exercise due to alot of slow running off the play of the ball etc. American Football the ball can go anywhere in 3 seconds, so the play of the ball can be anywhere at anytime.

I know that anaerobic exercise is more physically demanding on your body than aerobic exercise.

i am newbie in this game (and NFL)and i know it good to be "fat" in OL and DL and it is good to be thin in QB, RB, TE, KR, K and WR but other position G, CB, SF and LB what would be normal weight?

This is by no means the rule, but my Gunners are 185lb and 200lb, i might increase then when i have free space in my nutrition centre. But they need to be fast to get down the field so lighter rather than heavier.

My CB/SF's are all between 170-240lb but 5/8 are closer the 200lb mark. (To allow for high speed & agility)

And MLB - 265lb & 285lb, and one that I am going to increase to the 280lb mark also. (To have high strength but at the same time some speed)

OLB - Due to them having high speed they are 234-244lb. (To allow for high speed but some strength also)

Basically you can't have a set weight for them, it depends where their BMI is, some are taller/shorter etc so will have differing BMI's when associated with their weight, so its upto you to find that sweet spot where you utilise your Speed and Strength perfectly.
