Hockey is a physical sport where height/weight play a factor. Is FHM going to take this in account? So far in beta I don't see this reflected.

For example a 6'6" 230 pound D man should have higher Strength, Balance, should have a much better hitting, checking, perhaps better screening attribute. While his Agility/speed should suffer.

While a 5'10 170 pound FW should be the opposite...good agility/speed etc worse strength, balance.

I am not saying these should be written in stone...there are small guys like Clutterbuck who hit a ton. But a player like Chara giving someone a hit is not the same as the much smaller Clutterbuck. Balance should be heavily based on size, someone trying to deliver a hit on Chara is not likely going to make him fall down or loose the puck often....while someone hitting a small player would have a much better chance.
