if it has an impact it's while ratings are created - believe you can find a post from marcus/matt/someone from ootp in the past that says as much? it's been long enough that i don't have as good of recall, lol.

e.g. tall / big guy is more likely to have a higher than average power rating potential or a higher velocity than a 5'5" guy. So the physical characteristics should line up at least in some correlation to the ratings - but not always... it's not 1:1 correlation as we can see examples of where it is not true in our games.

after they are created it doesn't matter... the ratings dictate results. that is their function.

lots of creative ways to apply such things and have results swayed in proportion to any hard data on the subject. i'd bet a lot that height does correlate to velocity and power to height and size in real life... could be part of aging process or injuries etc... just not how they perform on the field after creation in a more direct way, so you wouldn't see any correlation that defies the ratings in any large enough sample. you'd have to compre ratings to physical characteristics or rate of change over time for things like injuries and degradation of skills... could still impact tht in indirect ways.

height definitely impacts 1B defense... can simply open editor and see that impact in real time.
