Re: Be A Pro - Career Mode (Growth)

Oh I never knew that was a thing. While it makes sense to match height/weight with certain skills like EASHL, it doesn't make sense when you consider its possible to make players that have 99 in all stats

  • It's like that in Be A Pro as well with the stat matching but for some reason it's only like that for the archetypes. I've made a 6'0" Grinder at 200 lbs and a 6'5" Grinder at 245 lbs and they had the exact same speed. In about 20+ games straight into the NHL I had almost max level body checking with a 70 rated pro and even with him being 6'5", 245 he had 82 speed, acceleration, agility, etc. While it was awesome to smack everyone so hard their ancestors could feel it, it also felt broken. 

    Side note: I've only been playing the game for 2 months now as I have recently discovered a love for hockey so I've been experimenting and simming through seasons with many different builds. Even with my being a "rookie" to the world of hockey I play on Superstar difficulty with all NHL and authentic rules and my player managed to injure almost 2 full lines in one game at 72 overall.
