I just started a fake player game (FM2008) with the Russian leagues loaded and the premier division from Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. Here's the deal:

It seems to me that way too many players have great jumping and lousy heading. Especially strikers. I have one in my squad with Jumping 20 and Heading 6. Have anybody else seen this in fake player games?

not really sure how fake player games work but my guess would be that technically they are all regens and people have been saying that the regen quality is very poor on the game so this would explain the poor attributes but not that they are all for heading.

Not in fake player games, but it might as well be Peter Crouch.

Actually that reminds me of something: Most of these players with high Jumping and low Heading aren't very tall, they're only around 182 cm. IMO there should be little chance of players smaller than about 188 cm to have high Jumping.

Why? I'm 182cm and when I played regularly could outjump pretty much anyone I played against.

Same, and I'm not even that tall. It was always a shock to the black guys at basketball camps when they saw a short white boy that could jump as high as they could and actually run with them.

But could you also outjump world class players who are 2 metres tall? Because that's the kind of players that would have a 20 for Jumping.

No, but worldclass players 182cm tall also have a chance of jumping as high as worldclass players of about 188cm, if you follow the argument through.

Some very tall players barely get off the ground.

clearly you are dishonest as well as short. Small people are not good at sport because they dont have the apropriate physique.

you would however be well suited to hobbies like caving where you smallness will be a help rather than a hindrance.

Maybe because they don't need to?

I'm not saying that players shorter than 188 cm shouldn't have high Jumping. I meant that players who are around 182 cm or shorter should have little chance of having 20 for Jumping. 16 or 17 would be alright. 20 should be reserved for the likes of Jan Koller.
