Yeah, weight is a gigantic issue. I run a league with a few hundred active users where everyone, instead of running a team, manages "themselves" or the player they sign up as. So you get a certain amount of points to spend on your player and watch him progress and have a career, and every team is made up of other people doing the same thing.
We've used EHM for 6 seasons, and in this kind of controlled environment you can really see the exploits and flaws of a game. We really had to regulate weight, and then it still got exploited. Someone with 400 points to spend (about an average of 13 for every attribute in EHM) with a weight of 170 would be ridiculously worse than someone with a weight of 230. We made the range smaller (170-230) to try and minimize the effect, but eventually everyone was just making their player 230 pounds for the benefit.
It's one of the reasons Martin St. Louis, despite being amazing in attributes, never really gets over an 8.00 rating for a season. But I put Georges Laraque on my second line and he had 60 points and an 8.50 rating
haha
