Ratty

As far as I know, CM makes no reference to actual attributes like height or weight, as the players in the database dont possess these stats (again, as far as I know).
I do think however there is a reflection of these things in certain other existing attributes.

All you could do is pick defenders with good appropriate attributes i.e. heading, jumping, anticipation, marking.

I don't think this is tipping, just common sense.

As Ratty has said, the ironically named player you referred to doesn't have a height in the game, but his strengths will reflect it.

How can it be tipping when it has fcuk all to do with the game ?? goddamn drivel..

Just because someone is over 6ft does not make them a good header of the ball - a certain Norgie who went from Chelsea to Rangers and then to Sunderland was crap in the air - therefore no sure height and other stats are that relevant.

PS - lets not forget our "Fat Goalie" thank god all the stats are not included :eek:<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

He Wasn't just Crap in the air. why do you think he ended up at Sunderland.

What Rek said.
And if you need a tall defender just look at the jumping ability, I think that's all that matters when you want to keep a striker from heading the ball.
You can mark his Airness by using a defender with a 19 in jumping but 2 for heading, your defender just won't score many goals up front (and maybe put the ball in his own net a few times ).
Am I borderlining on tipping here?

I think a Hint might of been more appropriate.

Telling us that Jumping is more important than Heading when defending is a Hint.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
It's not a hint (imo) because you can make up your own mind about how you percieve attributes... I rate Jumping as a very key attribute, way over marking etc, others may not...

It doesn't really matter if they are Seven Foot tall IRL they could still be cr4p in the Air.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Agree with this though. IRL height is irrelavant and would be a pointless attribute...
My mate is 6-3, but isn't very strong so anyone over 5-9 or so would have a decent chance of beating him in the air (sorry Rob!)...

Jumping, heading, strength are the ones you want to look at if you want a hitman (+ it says all this in the manuel, which can't be tipping, surely...?)

Yeah, i forgot to say, in CM jumping = height.

Only as a rough guideline.

As some tall players are crap at heading, it's not exactly true
