But, c'mon, are you really saying than a 6'7 player with the exactly same skill level wouldn't beat up a 6'0 guy so badly, there wouldn't be any reason to go to any other match up in a game?



It is rare to see the tallest man win the rebounding crown. Skill is just as important as height in rebounding. I could rattle off a long list of some of the greatest rebounders, and only a few are over 7'. Also this is a game about basketball, not a simulation of actual basketball. If it was as you say there would be no reason to train rebounding, and teams would just get the biggest guy they could find who never played basketball. Have you ever played basketball? It's not just stand under the rim and block and rebound by far. In his game if you buy the 7 footer and train rebounding, and i buy the 6 footer and train rebounding, your guy will be considerably better than mine in rebounding fast. That is where height comes into it in this game.

I wish I had known how important Game Shape and Enthusiasm were my first couple of seasons. I sorta knew, but not really.

or they did have exactly same skills but one was 6'6 and the other 5'9.
What is it, denial?!

the point is that the same skill level in this game means that they are equally good - they are grabbing the same number of rebounds in the same rebounding situations. However, it also means it is much easier for the giant to improve, while the dwarf might never climb higher than his initial respectable Rebounding...

I wish I would have known how to better manage my Enth. Once I fugured that out I started winning. Even when I was the underdog.

Wish I would have known to better train. I started by getting young and then I had way to many trainees. This is the most common mistake I see by young managers.

We've all access to game manual, so you don't have to repeat their rebounding example over and over again. Either you haven't read my post or I wasn't very clear. My point was that in the real world 6'6-6'8 guys are the superstars, not 5'9 or 7'6 guys. and if you take time to train a 6'6 guard in his OUTSIDE skills to a decent level, you'd think he'll dominate a 5'9 guy or any other shorter match up with the SAME skills, because of his height (and even longer limbs) just like in the real world. But it's not the case on BB, and you're better off training a 5'9 guy, which will take half the time.
and I wish I knew that from the start.

Height is irrelevant during games. The only purpose of height is for training.

Rebounding skill is a measure of the ability to grab a rebound all taken into account.
Deciding between equally skilled players at rebounding by height is a misunderstanding of the game mechanics.

I wish I knew about proper enthusiasm management. I started in mid-season 11 and crunch timed my last regular season game after playing normal in every prior game. I would have promoted a season earlier with better management so that was very regrettable. Nowadays my management took a 180 and it's pretty much equally bad, just in the other direction obviously. And now it's unjustifiable.
