So SI intentionally released a gamebreaking bug fully aware of it? That seems highly unethical to me. 

They didnt release the game yet, the actual game comes out in November, if it isnt fixed by then complain about it, sure.

 

But

 

This is BETA, this is where bugs are supposed to be found, if you dont want to play BETA, test it and report bugs dont.

The point of a beta is to test the game for bugs, not to play it 2 weeks earlier. You preordered to test the game before full release, not to get access to play it before someone else. I don't understand why is it so hard for some of you to understand this. Maybe it's because of some sense of privilege.

Long term saves need tested too, or the development issue would have never been found.

The trap is set inside which results in the ball being funnelled to the outside of the pitch?

No the trap isnt set inside.

 

Passing lanes are blocked inside, funneling the play outside and trapping the opposition outside.

Rumours amongst the mod team are that each year someone has to beat Miles at a game of scrabble before it can be released.

[Is it worth signing a 5'11 centreback even if his jumping reach is 14 and other stats are good?]

I agree with this in full. My saying height doesn't do anything in the match engine was admittedly over-exaggeration. An 8 story tall Akinfenwa will volley a high ball, but that won't be relevant for a normal distribution of height. Nobody is tall enough to volley most balls in heading/jumping range, unless it's a bicycle kick which happens like once a season and isn't relevant for normal evaluation.

The relevant question was back in the OP, does height actually matter in the evaluation of a player, especially a CB? Given that 4'11" teams with normal Jumping Reach seem to perform just fine in set pieces, I don't think so. The one consideration may be for regens and very young players, in determining how much you can boost their Jumping Reach via training.

But what about goalkeepers? Is Aerial Reach the important thing, or does being taller make a difference? Would like to see some more testing. I've done some well-received testing in OOTP but don't have experience testing FM myself.

4 ft 11 is too small and will flail about next to a 5ft 11 player.

 

 

The differences in min maxing is between 5ft 11 and 6ft 5, whilst i did argue face height the 5ft 11 static would still get hit by the ball. It didnt take into account other factors. 

I did also go on to provide my experience of a 6ft 5 cb scoring 20 using same instructions as a 6ft cb scoring 8. I dont have evidence but this is my experience.
