They are disadvantage, because as proven by the best of the best out there which can be found in national teams, you see only the 5'9-6'1 or the 7'+ in the roster, on rare occasion you may find someone who's height in the middle. So say you do, that 6'7 dude makes 30k a year when a center in that team makes 400k its a desperation to seek a SF cause simply there aren't good enough around.

So why is it a disadvantage, well if you get a guard he can be a Chris Paul or Ray Allen, or a center he can be a Shaq or Yao. But a SF, can he be a Lebron or Durant? or more like a kicker in a football (American) team?

But also as he pointed out and Coco as well, there is vast difference is performance when it comes to height differential matchups.

Hmmm, I think you don't know what you are talking about. The people hailed as best perimeter defenders in the NBA are Artest (6'7"), Wade (6'4"), Battier (6'8"). It is very hard to drive past these guys. On the other hand, the sub 6'3" players have a hard time keeping up strength-wise or even defending the pick and roll.


but there a lot more people at that size who struggle at guarding the perimeter, and i think the overall picture goes more to people of Wade size then the one of Battier(so that i would say he is more the exception then the rule). People like Ai would be good here, but true in reality they would suffer from there size.

But overall i think the size isn't reflected bad in this game.

I think people here are just comparing too much to the NBA.

Comparing to real life, where in real life the SF is not like the kicker in American Football. NBA is by far the basketball everyone around the world is most familiar with so comparing from the NBA makes most sense than comparing to division II Greenland basketball team (if there is such thing even)

This is starting to get off topic, if you can compare or not compare or how much emphasis comparison is drawn to the NBA its your opinion. Bottom line is that regardless of comparison, SF are inferior and are like the kickers in American Football. More or less you can find good players in PG,SG,SF,PF,C about equally wether in the NBA or Europe. It's blatant that SF are "the crappies" of BB and its blatant that its not like this in real life.

You right, but apparently NBA Live were able to implement realistic player development in their franchise mode, that's something from real like that they were able to implement

The solution could be another couple of skills that would be faster to train the closer the height is to 6'7. i.e. vertical leap that could translate into JS and RB.


leaping is normally a stuff, the small guys could be better, and your system works exactly like the system today ;)



Yeah, but it's not about how far their feet are off the ground, is it? It's the leaping ability together with height and reach. Up to 6'7 you don't generally see a lot of loss in athleticism, but thanks to their height these players are the highest flyers in the game. Then towards 7'0 you generally see a notable reduction in leaping ability, which is however partly offset by height. So to make athleticism train fastest for SFs would make a perfect sense.
