Recruit's Weight Still Random and Unrealistic

[Little Steve]

Meh, I don't really see the issue with size anyway. I mean, it's totally meaningless besides the amount of jump related to height. Otherwise, size is meaningless.

cincinnat bearcats have a 5'11 237 D E and after watching him on tv he IS a run stoper. but then again they were one of the best run defences in the the country. respect the cats! go to hell U of L. Bye, bye wvu, and Death to OhioState!


i have lots of school pride....

Yeah, I would doubt this would be addressed in a patch. It's always possible but in order to do it right, I think they'd have to wait and do it as part of NCAA13.

Gschwendt, any chance they addressed weight "classes" tied to tendencies? I'm guessing not since it wasn't announced so far, but I'm keeping a candle lit til you say otherwise.

Recruit's weights have not been improved this year but they are hoping for next year. http://traditionsportsonline.com/nca...iting-database




I still believe the minimums are not as big a problem is that the weight is completely random. It needs to be tied into ratings more. Fast guys should be lighter than strong guys generally speaking. Of course there are physical freaks but just boosting the minimum ranges and not tying into ratings would be a mistake imo.

Rudy, if you haven't listened to the latest NCAA Football Podcast, check it out. They talk about the recruit's weight and the work you linked above by the guys at TSO, and there's definitely the implication that it was changed for this year.

Cool. I will check it out now.

Edit: Checked it out and they talked about how Tradition Sports had them fix their weight ranges but I would still like to see more correlation with weight and skills (instead of 0 like they have it now). I know there are freaks out there that are big AND fast but they are the exception. There needs to be a correlation and it doesn't have to be 100% but it needs to be more than 0.
