dking Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just wondering if players actually get taller, its something i have never noticed or looked into. I signed a 14yr old who is 5ft 4inches and im hoping he will get taller and put on a few pounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Not sure about height but weight definitely changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'm quite sure that youngsters grow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That means that a 16 yo that i have in my academy might grow taller still. He currently stands at a massive 197cm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwhitearmy Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 unless they have something wrong with them they probably should grow iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That means that a 16 yo that i have in my academy might grow taller still. He currently stands at a massive 197cm That means he's 6 foot 4 so he probably won't grow much taller but he'll probably get more muscular and develop that way.

Hershie Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've had a guy at my club since he was 18. He's now 33. He's remained at 10 stone 1lb, and is only 5ft 5. Dinky little guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkoid Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Look at Stephen McDonald: Aged 29 and STILL 5"6 as he was when he came through the youth system at 15. Although he still wins the odd header in midfield. So i'm not sure it matters that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisso Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Most kids usually reach their heights at 18/19 anyway! I was 6.3" when i was 18 and i haven't grown since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason the Yank Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 weight definitely changes. Hope so. I've a 19-year-old MC who's 5'10", 123 lbs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOMAS1982 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 But can weight change due to the training that you set them? Weights etc.... that would be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhemo Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 sometimes they grow, but height-weight system of FM series really sucks!! they must solve this problem, all regens are over-weight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 It doesnt influence the ME though, does it? No, it doesn't. Height is jumping, basically, and weight is covered by strength and balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonTaller Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm sure stretching is one of the best grow taller exercises around. This is because stretching causes the body to produce human growth hormones called EIGs (exercise induced growth hormones). EIGs result from catecholamines, acid-base balance, nitric oxide, and lactate. Nitric oxide and lactate especially increase height. Human growth hormones harden cartilage, strengthen bones and make you grow taller. just visit http://growingtallerstretches.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, yes they do grow - or they did on FM10 anyway. It's usually no more than 2 inches though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Height is purely cosmetic, anyway, so it's not really a big deal if he grows or not. (No pun intended ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky1989 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 That means he's 6 foot 4 so he probably won't grow much taller but he'll probably get more muscular and develop that way. 197cm is 6"5 1/2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyr1777 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Height is purely cosmetic, anyway, so it's not really a big deal if he grows or not. (No pun intended ) It's a compliment to jumping... you have 2 guys that have a jump of 12 and one is 6'4 the other 5'10, who's more likely to win a header. But I'd say there's likely an element of randomness if players grow or not just like irl. Like I hit 5'10" by 15, never grew another inch. If SI did it in a good way then when a player is generated it would give them a max height/weight and starting height/weight, then they'd grow to their max at some random time.

phnompenhandy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 It's not cosmetic - as hright increases, the jumping attribute will increase. I installed a small file from the Greek FM site with younger players. It's got Zidane's 13 year old son, but also a few very young unknowns with decent PA. I've signed a few 13 and 14 year olds, and even a 10 year old DC. I'll let you know in a few years if they grew! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 It's a compliment to jumping... you have 2 guys that have a jump of 12 and one is 6'4 the other 5'10, who's more likely to win a header. They would both have exactly the equal chance of winning, based solely on that attribute. However, aggression and determination, positioning and anticipation could have an effect on this. Jumping has nothing to do with height, in theory. If you imagine it like this..... 20 jumping = jumping to the height of 7 foot. So if you're 5 foot 5 inches, and have 20 jumping, you can jump as high as 7 foot. If you're 6 foot 5 inches, and have 20 jumping, you can still only jump as high as 7 foot.

If you're 6 foot 5 inches, and have 20 jumping, you can still only jump as high as 7 foot. By that reasoning then being taller would mean a higher jump stat base because if you only have to jump 5 inches then it's going to be easier. However you want to go about it height and jump go hand in hand. tell me the last time you saw someone that was 5'3" and had a jump above 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I was using that to explain to you exactly how it works. Someone 5"3 probably wont have a jump stat higher than 10, because they can't reach that height, but it's not an exact science that Height = Jump. But in short, the taller you are, the higher your jumping attribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyr1777 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Which means it's not cosmetic... As you say height != jump but it plays a factor in it. But yes, my first statement was wrong in comparing two players with the same jump stat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyr1777 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Jumping increases while height apparantly doesn't. You can train jumping... but height provides a base for the stat. So once they stop growing you can train jumping higher, but a shorter player won't be as good in the air as a taller player. At least not if there is significant height difference, and inch here or there doesn't count. Again, what was the last time you saw a player 5'8" or less with a good jumping stat?

Atleast the researchers use this theory. Do regens follow this too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
