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.

Changing every time is too much I think? Two options I thought of are either changing it every training time just like game shape or at the end of the season just like what I see in NBA Live. I never saw both in action so I can't tell which one is better... :D

I think weight is micro-ing it a bit too far.

try explaining that to some people...
the more micro-managing the less fun the game is...
fortunately the BBs decide not to implement 99.9% of the suggestions
