Player stats assigned in draft

[rcleslie]

I am creatng a U.S. college league and selected the "college-junior" setting. After completing the draft I discovered that players appear to have unrealistic heights and weights, e.g. a QB age 20 is 4' (I read feet) and weighs 141 (I read lbs.), An RB was listed with age 22, height 4'3" (I assume feet and inches) and weight of 180 lbs. The RB would be a bit of a butterball, no? The QB will not be able to see over his blockers (I haven't checked their hieghts, maybe they are all 4' as well). Also 141 lbs QB is a wee bit light for college. Am I running into the metric system or something? Do these figure effect play? If not I can easily ignore them. If they do effect play then I have a problem.

The new manual (which I am still reading) is a significant improvement! Despite the above I having fun with it all. My thanks to you folks for all your hard work.

A quick follow-up for clarification. My question refers to version 1.3.84. Also, I can't find how to correct my misspelling of "assinged" which should have been "assigned". I know some (perhaps most) don't consider this important, but I think it is. For those who do care about spelling I can only plead a creeping age related "dyslexia" of the keyboard.

I think there should be an 'edit' button above your post? Maybe your account doesn't allow for that.. not sure.
 
For the bug.. the height/weight fields being on the player screen were a late addition to the game so it's distinctly possible that they're being set up wrong. Internally the game uses metric for its physics. I'm hoping it's just my conversion to imperial for the sake of display but I'll check to see if it's also effecting the game physics (although the physics looks okay so I'm thinking it's probably just a display problem).

Thanks for your quick reply. I did find the "edit" button.
