This is how BB has implemented height:

A skill in BB is not relative to height, but absolute. So a 5'6 player who has a 48 inch vertical jump, knows how to box out, has strong hands and arms might have a similar rating to a 7'4 guy who is lifting weights so he can hold his arms over his head and started playing BB a month ago. They have roughly the same chance of grabbing the rebound (at least to the game engine). This simplifies the game engine to consider one factor vs. two factors.

When assigning skills, height is likely to be taken into account, but that just means that a larger percentage of 7'4 players will start with respectable rebounding, and very few 5'6 guys.

There is a difference in training speed based on height. This is also somewhat realistist. Our 5'6 player has probably maxed out his rebounding potential. He can't jump much higher, etc. But the 7'4 guy can improve. He might learn to jump a bit, and his timing, boxing out, positioning can improve.

and... well

where we cut the height of each player for each position best training??

c 205 minimum?
pf 201 ?
sf 198?
pg 198 max?
sg 190 max?

heya. sorry if i missed any posts, but could you please tell me what's up with 'What if machine' thing?
thanks in advance, Chris

you mised my point.... I wanna say that two equal skills players... both Centers but one 224 and another 207... If you would be real team manager which one you would choose???? It`s a fact that 224 player would be much better then 208 height center... just becourse of his 16cm height advantage....

My point is that they can`t be equal on the playground if all skills are equal coz of height diference...

ei man...

can you make the program that doesn't require .NET framework? i'm using a pc wherein i can't log off... because i always use fast profile switching in XP... but when i use .NET, the fast user switching option will be disabled... and i really really need it.

only if it's possible... thanks!~

You really need to step back and read the responses in this thread. Your concerns have been addressed.

and the new version?? :D

Hey, it looks like you defined the values from the table (numbers corresponding to different stats - JS, JR and so on) as string. You have to redefine them as integer, because currently it will not sort them out properly.

It's fine as long as they are under 10 skill, then 10 gets sorted right after 1

I'm not at work so I don't write you email, hope you get it from here as well
