The "game" Designer indicated that the calculation had to do with "inside play". . . .Blocks and Rebounds seem more to do with Defense and Rebounding.Inside play would seem to be reflected in Scoring. . perhaps shooting percentages.
The game apparently allows you to create your own players. . .but when the game offers players (those they create). . . .I'm dubious you'll find a 5' player created. It seems an artificial player and perhaps because of that you encounter some bugs not anticipated.
I've not had the opportunity to examine a group of 7 foot players in our game. . . and compare the results with say 6'10" players with similar settings.
I would assume that a 7' player with a inside rating of A+ will have better scoring than a 6'10" player with a B rating. . . but what happens when both players. . . or two groups of players have the same inside rating?
It seemed to me that 7' players with B and C+ ratings had some pretty decent rebounding. . .
Don, it's impossible to tell. It just is. Guys with identical ratings play differently all the time, based on lineups, team strength, scoring options, etc.
What I can tell you, is that in my experience (which is extensive), height and weight don't matter in the least, which is backed up by the fact that ratings don't change when height/weight are changed, nor does performance inside, outside or on defense.
While the developer might have intended for height and weight to have an impact, it's so clearly evident that it doesn't have any noticeable impact on scoring, rebounding, etc.
Again, this game developer hasn't done anything with FBB since 2002, and he's been "working on an update" since like 2004...He's not exactly tearing up the development field with this stuff. Take that answer with a grain of salt is all I'm saying...
