This post is mentioned at t looking ahead. I wonder what that discussion is yielding in the mod forums. Is there even a general structure being discussed?


hope so

That's probably true.

I could put a selector of some sort I suppose:

Choose height range: (short/average/tall)
Choose weight range: (light/average/heavy)

And split the ranges into the bottom/middle/top 3rd.

That would make for less rolls too, most likely. I guess some people don't even really worry about ht/wt all that much, either.


The height limit of 5'11 should be lowered imo

Sounds about right to me.


agreed, now can we expect this implemented in the offseason (please o please o please )

Why don't you guys just make the height/weight issue simple?

Do it exactly like the Shopping tokens when refreshing them and 3 equipment options come up...?

When you create your player...3 height/weight possibilites pop up and you only can choose 1 of them.

Lets say I want to create a WR. I spend the 300 flex then 3 options pop up for me to use. One is 6' 198 lbs........one is 6'5" 229 lbs.....and the last one is 5'11 204 lbs.........(of course...they are always different/random all the time just like the AE shopping token refreshes.

This would cut the retiring for re-rolls in 1/2 at least imo...

Ok, so re-rolling is gone, but then you've just increased retiring players by over 9000fold.

Yeah I don't think they realize just how many people would retire there players if this happens. Probably players created over the last 3 or 4 seasons would think about retiring and starting over.

I know I would consider it with the players I created in season 8.

I know I would. As much as I love the server, it's way more convenient for me to punch in some numbers on the re-roll script, let it roll for 6 hours or however long it takes in the background, and have my perfect player than to look through a list of 3 heights/weights, retire, look through the list again, retire, rinse and repeat however many times that takes.

I have 9 players slotted for tomorrow. I don't want to waste time. Of course I just wasted time making this stupid avatar.

Discussing ideas. We'll see if I can get something done for offseason-time. I'd like to work out potential issues ahead of time, etc (and get it tested of course).
