I'm not sure but is there a use for the weight of the players listed in the roster of a team. I mean something like how the height of a player affects how he is trained. If there is none, maybe we can put a use on it. For example, the game shape of a player can be affected by his weight.

I like this idea. Would Shaquille O'Neal be the same player as Yao Ming if they were players on BB? I think not! Their weights are one of the key elements of their game that shape how they play! A player's weight also affects what positions they are able to play.

Interesting idea. Do you want it to be numerical? I think impact on stamina (training or speed of losing or both) would be a better choice than game shape (cause game shape is a part of micromanagement of this game). It could be connected with that hidden fouling skill too. I just wouldn't like certain level of it to be simply a good or bad thing.

What do you mean by numerical? I hope weight can affect game shape, stamina and hidden fouling skill. Aside from that, maybe more weight can make inside shot training faster since a player will have more beef to power through his defender and maybe lessens training in driving since heavier people cannot run that fast. Just a suggestion. :P

What's next? Shoe size?
IMO height, potential and minutes are allready a reasonable number of characteristics to deal with for most users.

I mean 300 lb. is different when you are 7-5 than when you are 5-9. Hard to say which weight should be "the right" weight for different levels of heights.

It seems that weight is sort of covered under Stamina, I would think... Sure, an actual weight isn't specified, but weight is variable from day to day (you even weigh more at night than when you woke up in the morning!), so what are we going to do, have a player's weight change very day based on what he ate and how much walking he did?

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Maybe weight / height will work? Although I'm not sure what the right numbers are.
