Andre the Giant (regen)

Not too shabby for a 14yo regen...

Yeah he's pretty good.

He aint too shabby at all, especially for a 14 year old.

I thought the OP's point was that at age 14 he was 89kg and 192cm (14 stone and 6'3")

My mate was that height at 14. He's now 15 and going on to 6'5" or 6'6"

Yea it is certianly possible. Interesting young player though I must say, question is what his potential is obviously.

Doubt he woudl be bold and look like that at 14 though

I will keep an eye on him and let you guys know how he goes

He have just shaved his head

His jumping attribute is only 13. Bug. With that height, it must be at least 18.

At that height he doesnt need to jump:D

Not all tall people can jump well.

I know where you're coming from, but jumping is how high you can get your head, not your feet. Even if he doesn't jump, he would still get his head higher than a 160cm player who can jump 25cm.

That's the definition of "jumping" in FM. It's worrying that people don't know this- it could be messing up your whole set piece routines! Height has no significant effect on the ME.

His jumping, like all of his attributes, will increase with age. This means that it isn't a bug. Give him time SCIAG. He is still only 14 and has a long way to go.

:confused:

thats another Alias surely. There was a thread like that last post a couple of days ago.

It was closed pretty quickly.

At that age, his jumping MUST be 18 or higher. He's already earnt it.

And of course he still has a long way to go, but this is genetic. It's like saying that a 16 year old Theo Walcott should have had 14/14 for pace...

That is correct,

I am a basketball coach and do have players who are 2m or more but some of them are out jumped easy by some smaller ones, only becuase of timing.

I do admit that with Basketball you use other items when jumping (hands) then in football.

Even if he doesn't jump, he would still get his head higher than a 160cm player who can jump 25cm.

In this example yes, but what about a 180cm player not able to jump/time well against a 170cm player which can time/jump, does the 180 cm player always win? In real not, but in FM I think he will.

That would be more down to anticipation, would it not?

André is small compared to André The Giant, who was 6'3 and weighed 200 pounds at the age of 12. He was born with the acromegaly condition though.

Legend has it that André The Giant once drank 157 bottles of beer in one drinking session, then wrestled the next day.

haha

Some say that Andre The Giant had a fight with God. We all know who won

i found a guy 5 11" with 18 for jumping, id say thats a bug unless he was a gangaro in previous life..

i have 2 mates both 14 who are this tall one is close to that weight the other isnt so it isnt that unusual

Looks a bit old for 14, I must say

Only got 10 for strength as well, bit of a wimp if you ask me. Probably wouldn't say that to his face though.

Just because he is tall doesn't mean he should automatically have a good jumping stat. Look at Crouch he is 6ft 7' and can't jump worth a **** irl. Whereas, Tim Cahill is 5ft 10' and he is one of the best headers of the ball in the EPL. Kangaroo Cahill

Baldness started early for him.

I hear andre's backstory is he once took on a local gang all by himself hence his rating 16 for bravery

A man about 6 foot who can jump very well? Cahill? Olympic High Jumpers lol?

He has been unofficially crowned "The Greatest Drunk on Earth" for once consuming 119 12-ounce beers in 6 hours.[11] On an episode of WWE's Legends of Wrestling, Mike Graham claimed that André once drank 157 12 ounce beers in one sitting, which was confirmed by Dusty Rhodes.

thats was wiki says.

looks like a good regen none the less, just hope he has a good potential though

Did you not read what I wrote?

"Jumping" does not mean ability to jump, or ability to head the ball. It's "ability to get head high up". Crouch has a nine inch advantage. He can jump more than you think. iirc Crouch has 18 for jumping. Cahill should have 14-16.

KG & CM????

Shoot the French!

It's stones and feet!

Not all tall people can jump well.

Like you say, not all tall people can jump well. That is something i really have to agree with.

It seems like the taller (bigger) the player is, in real-life, the worse his jumping is.

Strange thing.

Unfortunately, I DID NOT read your post as it was late and must have missed it. I didn't realise that the jumping attribute was the ability to get head high up in FM. You have enlightened me.

However, in my view jumping is the ability to increase your height from your ground level height. Like Cahill has out-jumped players that were probably about 4 inches taller than him but his 'ability to jump' has made him the winner in most cases. Crouch doesn't really increase his ground level height much when he jumps coz he doesn't have much of a spring in his jump. That's what jumping means in my opinion.

I think the jumping stat is more to do with timing.

what about anticipation ricky

I think the jumping stat is more to do with timing.

You're wrong. I know for a fact that jumping is how high you can get your head. Timing, as MLF says, would come down to anticipation, maybe concentration too.

Out of interest, Ricky, what patch are you using?

9.2 mate.

I said I think not know its to do with timing, I dunno...

SCIAG is indeed correct on this one.

How big is a 12 ounce beer?

I was right about the 157 bottles then.
