Don´t forget Dennis Rodman 6'8 or somehtin like that. One of the best rebounders in NBA history maybe.

But saying "it should be changed" does not help at all, because we all agree with that.

That's not accurate in the least.

If there were an easy way to introduce the height effect in a more realistic way than it is, without making the game much harder, I´m pretty sure they would try it.

The height system is in fact pretty realistic.
A smaller guy is able to rebound as good as a taller one, he just has to work harder for it, which is reflected in BB in training.
Just in the top leagues, he won't be able to compete with the big guys who work as hard as he does. And this will be more and more reflected in the coming seasons.

The only thing imo could be done to create a height mismatch, is condition:
- a small guy playing down could have a slight penalty on condition (has to jump relatively higher than his big opponent with the same rebounding level, which forces him to use more energy)
- a big guy playing a small guy outside has to run/turn more which he is physically less adapted for, so he also loses a bit more condition.

This system should be a compromise for the people that keep on going about the mismatch, although personally I think it's fine as it is.

I think some people give too much importance to height in a basketball game in real life.

If height was that much important Manute Ball would be the best player of all times and not Michael Jordan.

Better yet, Manute Ball would have to be better rebounder than Shaq or Rodman for instance.

And remember that Manute Ball played in the NBA, therefore I guess he had the proper training witha lvl 10 coach :P

And last but not least, if you consider heigth, u would have to consider, speed, strength, agility and other phisical aspects that aren't implemented in the game.

I think that would not make a better BuzzerBeater, and even based on real life height is not allways a good thing... Have seen lots of 7'xx guys that are really just crappy players... ;)

Just my 2 cents in a good discussion so far... ;)

This is the problem that you guys just don’t get. I never said the taller the player the better he is. I said when my best post player with a level 10 inside score with a level 10 rebounding has to play someone he is taller than and I doubt had 8 or more in either rebounding or inside defense that he should be able to go off. The same way Shaq did for years over smaller centers as well. Shaq usually had a 4inch height difference and my center had 10 inches.

This has nothing to do with manute, chuck nevit, Mark Eaton or and other tall center compared to any other players. Also those players had specialties as each one of hem dominated in blocks. That’s why they stuck around

So please if you disagree with me that’s fine but stop changing the topic into height rules or something of that nature. I just don’t think that real low post players should be getting pushed around by players playing out of position.

That is why weight should be added cause if you have a center with good skills who weighs allot then most short players can’t push him out of the way.

shaq would be lvl 18 at least with lvl 8 FT
