Arm length?

I apologize if this topic has already been discussed - I don't visit this site frequently.

I have long believed that NBA 2k should add arm length as an "attribute" (for lack of a better word).

Players like Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo have ridiculously long arms for players of their height. This allows them to be a force on defense (Davis as a shot blocker and Rondo playing the passing lanes). Adding a arm length option would allow a 6 10 player like davis to play like a player much taller.

What's everyone elses thoughts on this?

Its really a travesty. Especially next year cause alligator arms Tyler Zeller will have longers arms than Taj Gibson if this isn't added. Thats just one example.

Youd think this would be obvious. No excuse not to have it really.

And that ridiculous 7'9"wingspan. If he can develop a decent offensive post game he's a walking mismatch on both ends of the floor

Re: Arm length?

I'm of the opinion that they just can't add it to current gen without causing a wealth of problems, but that shouldn't apply to the Xbone and PS4.
