Bromley Raven Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I thought the OP's point was that at age 14 he was 89kg and 192cm (14 stone and 6'3") Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still only 14 and has a long way to go. 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... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

Nobby_McDonald Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 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.

golfpunk Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 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.

"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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roykela Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
