Yeah. The basketball game is not a competition of "who is taller?" The game engine doesnt have to ask that question, and it really shouldn't. Imagine the game engine asking: "How tall is the player?", "How fast is he?", "How high can he jump?", "How well can he box out his oponent?", etc. No, that's ridiculous. We would have 100 skills per player.

The question it asks is "Who will get this rebound?" and to answer that it exists the skill of rebounding, which is there to represent all of this in a simple and summarized way. And it is clear that height is one of the things considered inside the skill of rebounding, because of how the training works.

First off i dont know where you got thr idea that he is a respectable reboundser. Secondly the game is (4434136) and the player was (3063542)

No matter how good of a rebounder he is he would also have to be able to box him out as well which means he needs to be strong. When people here give examples of the Bruno Sundov they forget that he might have been tall but he never was able to rebound at any level so then an inept center against a strong guard woud make sense. But a srtrong guard and a strong center has to have a secondaty adjustment to the rebounding. The rebounding bothers the least about this argument. When my center gets the ball down low against his defender who is 10 inches less he should be a ble to get his shot off fairly easily and that should improve FG% the same way that playing against a bad low post defender. I'm not saying that becasue he is tqall he should get a ll the rebounds but he should have a few more when playing someone half his size if he is already a good rebounder.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

who ever said it was a competiotion. I enjoy this game allot and would like some things to improve or to be gotten rid off. The question should not be who gets the rebound. The game should add positions to players with their weight. Then if you want to tell me the 6'6 center who weighs 250 is a good rebounding centeer then that makes sense. When you tell me their are 6'4 players and less dominating rebounding being guards and saying that is ok because he is a prominent rebounder. A prominent rebounding guard should not always be beter than a strong rebounding center. They have different skill sets for their positions and we should not let every player play out of position with no casualties.

That 6'4 guard had to train more to get to prominent rebounding though. Maybe it wasn't the most efficient choice for that player. Either way, why should slower training be further punished by lower performance, despite their skills.

Dennis Rodman was 6'7" and an amazing rebounder, who also worked really hard to become a good rebounder and defender. Same with Ben Wallace, 6'7".

These heights aren't as extreme, but is few inches really that big of an issue for the BB's to be focusing on?

Oh I'm sorry, he is a prominent rebounder PERIOD. And wow, he was outrebounded by 1.

Your team dominated the boards (52-41) despite a 2-3 zone for the Warriors. Ibm-Shafiq had 5 fouls so he was pushing against "Money Boy" Agresta who was playing in their gym. Agresta despite all the attention was still able to shoot 60% and freed up the rest of his teammates for more of the scoring. It looks like "Money Boy" Agresta is more of a team player than you would like. You sound more like his agent, than the team owner.

Rodman and Wallace are the minority in real life. And here we are letting everyone make their weird mismatches the majority

The height mismatch is reflected in training.

If you cannot accept this fact, it's really too bad.

It's the correct method, and it will not change.

how is there a height mismatch in training. I cant train all my players so they are not all training as some of them are sitting and watching.

why is this the correct method Still no one has given a reaon why it cant be changed. Is it because people are to lazy to change or it is to difficult. Maybe you dont wat to make it to tatical for users or keep it easy for newbies

Why dont you give a reson that explains why it is this way and why it cant be changed instea of saying
It's the correct method, and it will not change.


for once a real answer would be appreciated

The "real" answer has been given repeatedly in this thread, you've just refused to accept it.
