If this has been asked before, my apologies...

How much, if at all, does height and weight matter in the game engine?

For instance: Assuming all their other stats (STR, SPD, etc.) are equal, is a 6'4" 390-pound nose tackle going to outperform a 5'11" 290-pound nose tackle?

Current game engine = nil effect. If you look for a few threads with title hiehgt/weight or BMI. You'll find previous discussions about it and what purpose it might/might not serve in the future.

Not if their BPOS, team chemistry, experience and relevant skills are equal.

The laws of physics are not implemented in GI. Actually, a 400 pound 5'6" with 20 speed will be quicker than a 6'2" 180 pound with 19 speed. And the first one will accelerate faster (no... wait... the laws of physics are not implemented...)

Thanks, guys.

Stats-wise, my best linemen (offensive and defensive) average about 225 pounds, yet my best option at QB is 6'2"-288, and it just seemed counter-intuitive, so I wanted to make sure.

Also, I've got a guy who's 6'4"-370, who would IRL seem perfect to fill the middle of a 3-4 if I wanted to invest the time in increasing his strength, since he somehow has the lowest strength on my team.

Oh well.
