Size Attribute BROKEN!

[funsley]

half way thru my offseason, i hired a new coach, Gary Kubiak. Now, my WR's, DT's, RE's, LOLB's, and SS's size attributes are in the toilet! Gerald McCoy a 39 for size?! Justin Blackmon is a 60! And because of this, their overalls are all screwed up. My scheme was unchanged, but i messed with it to see if it would change the size attributes, and it didnt.

Im super pissed!!!

The Houston Texans are a finesse team. Gary Kubiak is a coach who does not value size and strength. The Texans like to run a lot of zone blocking, and zone blitzing schemes. It seems to me that his system would value awareness and things like speed more greatly.

yeah but my offensive line grades are all unchanged, along with every other position besides the ones in the OP. I cant see any reason why Gary Kubiak would grade a 6'1'' 275 DT like the one I have as a 41 for size if he is a finesse coach.

6'1" 275 lbs. Is not very good size for a Defensive tackle. Warren Sapp never had good size and was one of the best 3 techniques of all time. I would just pay more attention to ratings like Block Shed, Power moves, and strength over the overall rating. Scheme overall ratings seem to be broken and make absolutely no sense so build your team around the core ratings as mentioned above.

I get what your saying, buy my point is that as soon as I got Kubiak, the size system BROKE for me.... Gerald McCoy is 6'4'', 295 lbs. At that size he should at least decent as far as size in any scheme. I made a mistake in my OP, cuz is his size rating is actually 29!!!! NT, pass rusher, run stopper, it doesn't matter the scheme its always 29.

For the heck of it, i changed all my position schemes to balanced and no change. I know it's broken because my LOLB is 6'3'' 238 and his size rating is 56 and my ROLB is 6'3'' 246 and is a 91 for size. both positions are the same scheme.

if it was all the positions, I would say its my new coach, but its only a few and in all different spots on the team.

Why do you even care about the size rating? It is probably just a CPU tool like the schemes that try and keep the AI teams true to their system. Unless it is just the principle of something not working as intended (even if it is just a cosmetic number). In that case there unfortunately are a few of those errors --for example the coach packages for positional XP increase? Description says it increases XP gain from season and week goals, guess what - it doesn't.. (it decreases upgrade prices of the position instead, but point being that EA have not fixed this descriptional error after changing the mechanic from M13 to M25 - and there are more examples like this)

I cant remember ever having heard of player size to matter in the ingame mechanics -- you'd think weight would make a difference for DL/OL, but strength takes care of that. You'd think height makes a difference for receivers/backfield, but jump rating takes care of that. But if you have heard otherwise I would appreciate sharing link

i care because it turns their overalls to CRAP and its hampering my experience. I dont like looking at JaDaveon Clowney and seeing his size rating as 42, and therefore his overall is 73

yea... this entire game is broken and was a complete waste of 60 bucks, it's probably fine for h2h online play, but for those who enjoy the cfm there are entirely way to many bugs. Can't wait for the nfl to yank the exclusive rights from EA so 2k can come in and destroy madden.
