Sim Character Discussion

[Rob ITST]

When you create your character, select the option to save and it will show you the weight on the screen where you give him his name/nationality/etc.

It can take a bit of trial and error (which is the reason why there is a range, and not an exact number), but not much.

The reason for the weight restrictions is that it was one aspect which people felt was unrealistic about some of the 40-90 characters, and was the subject of a lot of discussions. It's debatable on whether or not it really has an effect, but for the sake of putting the arguments to rest, they are part of what is restricted.

It mainly coz I downloaded patch again.

Aslong as my 5'9" 3x90 +88 guy doesnt break ms rules I'm cool.

Once thing i noticed about height, was that when i trialled a 6ft 9in player, my kick serve with the stick was able to bounce so high that it became almost too difficult for returners of low xp etc to not be able to return it at times...

...i thought at the time it was just my amazing serve but when i used the new Cannon height at 6ft 3in or 6ft 4in the benefit was considerably less, which is a good thing.

Plus, it looks more realistic have balanced players in height and weight IMO these days...

Question about the names:

RAE did something i don t know if it s right. He created the SIM player Lopez.
The guy looks like Nadal and plays like Nadal, so he gave him the name:

J. Lopez-Nadal

My question: Is it ok to give the SIM players a second surname? I ask because i created a player named G. House-Rios (looks and plays like Marcelo Rios)...

Thanks

Honestly i don´t see any problem, as long as we see that you´re playing with "Lopez" then everything is fine.
The point of the name thing is that at first glance your rival has to be able to see which character from the list are you gonna use for the match, and by adding a second name that intention remains.
