Hello folks, quick question here.

I'm trying to figure out whether it's known that a player's height and weight have a game engine impact beyond their determination of BMI (and thus strength/speed caps).

That is, are taller players known to be "better" in certain positions? I know it's suggested for QBs, and I would guess tall players would be good for TE, WR, maybe DE. But do we know that for sure? Similar question goes for weight.

Basically I'm trying to decide where to stick some 72 inch tall guys, and wondering whether one might be good for a TE, and another for OL.

Thoughts?

Height and weight currently have no impact whatsoever on the game. They are supposed to have an impact in the always-delayed new engine, but we haven't been able to test that out yet.

Thanks Chidash! That was my gut feeling from the reading I've done, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

It suppose to taller player will have in the new engine a bonus in the vision skill and smaller player will have better agility... But like Chidash says the real impact of this factors nobody knows yet
