Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 20, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yeah Jumping very much takes in account a players height. Cahill's jumping is likely as high as it can get for a player of his height. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robioto Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Cahill can climb higher than most players regardless of his height. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry mate but that's seriously idiotic. So you're saying there is a limit to how high a person can jump dependant on height? Really? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Clarke Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm sorry mate but that's seriously idiotic.So you're saying there is a limit to how high a person can jump dependant on height? Really? It is not idiotic, it is logical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 No it isn't, how do you prove there is a correlation between height and jumping capacity? Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 20, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2010 In reality it's not so much 'jumping' as it is 'aerial reach'. Zigic wouldn't even need to jump at all to be higher than the maximum Cahill could. It's not idiotic at all, as Andy Clarke said, it's perfectly logical.

Nick OGS20 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm sorry mate but that's seriously idiotic.So you're saying there is a limit to how high a person can jump dependant on height? Really? That isn't what he's saying at all. He's saying that 'jumping' actually means the height a player can reach through the combination of their leap and their actual height. So you will see short people with a great leap getting similar ratings to very tall players without a great leap. Cahill has a terrific leap but because of his height, he's still not going to be able outjump some who's 6'4/6'5 with a good leap of their own.

pelicanstuff Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Everything looking good so far, one thing I noticed is that nothing came up on the "board request status" after I had a couple of requests granted, I feel like something should appear there even if the wheels haven't been put in motion yet.

englandmanager Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 love the boardroom interaction, love the agents interaction i've dealt with so far even had 1 agent for ramon nunez (leeds utd) demand he has a high fee for him to sign ffs love it - hate light skin but that can wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForzaKRC Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I love when in TV match screen when you hover over the ball u can actually see who scored the goal! always did find it annoying in 2010. TV camera is W O N D E R F U L L Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanstuff Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 One further thing: the 'conversation' is a bit weird if you use the option to talk to the press about a player and then decide not to say anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch182 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 In reality it's not so much 'jumping' as it is 'aerial reach'. Zigic wouldn't even need to jump at all to be higher than the maximum Cahill could. It's not idiotic at all, as Andy Clarke said, it's perfectly logical. The stat isn't aerial reach, it's jumping. Are you telling me, that out of 20 marks, Tim Cahill's jumping ability is 14? How does size of a person even relate to their ability to jump. Have you ever watched basketball? Maybe a better example. Vidic is 6ft2" and has jumping 17. I've watched Tim Cahill out leap him live many times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev147 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Can someone from SI comment why there is no dark skin please? And will there be one in the full game? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 20, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2010 I've seen Cahill out jump Christopher Samba.Go figure. I've seen Shaun-Wright-Phillips out jump Cahill. Just because a player has better jumping and heading in the game doesn't mean he'll outjump and win every header in the match engine. Like real life other factors are taken into account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igorchete Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Can someone from SI comment why there is no dark skin please? And will there be one in the full game? Thanks. There is no dark skin or any additional skin to reduce the demo size as much as possible. Damn, people get a free demo and still find a reason to complain about.
