in MyCareer, Do you play as your actual Height? why or why not?

[Ownal0t]

Im just wondering how much of this board plays as their REAL LIFE hieght when they play MyC/ park mode. cause its funny going to the park and seeing all these SF and higher. walking around at 6'8+

i play as my natural position/Hieght(6'2 Combo guard) since it helps seeing my actual game self in the nba,instead of a "Fantasy" version of my self (if you guys know what im getting at) and at the park it can get annoying being that short <_<. but i also have a ******* Account for when i wana abuse being tall.

so OS What do you do when you make your self? try to keep it real and give your actual size? or try to keep up with the competition / the fanasty and give yourself the extra boost?

It depends on the position I'm playing... my PG I typically use a "slightly inflated" height of 6'1" (actual 5'10"). I did try to play 5'10" once, but I got smacked around so bad that I gave up and went with the slightly inflated height instead (which is still a pretty handy target).

Using my real height (or even the slightly inflated height) for a SF/PF/C on the other hand... I don't even want to try lol...

I find playing PG boring and me playing any other position at my actual height(5'9) would be dumb. As far as height goes I've created a 6'6 or 6'7 SF every year, has nothing to do with competition but trying to be realistic when it comes to position and player size.

Ditto, I'm 5'10" and if I create a point Guard, usually make him 6'0" or 6'1". Just cause I usually create a scoring poing guard. But in this years game, I have a MyCareer as a 6'4" SG, and a 7'0" Center going.

If everyone actually did this the park would have 99% point guards

I'm 5'11 IRL but I play as a 7'0" PF because I'm a huge fan of Dirk Nowitzki.
O lust say, however, I'm quite tempted to start a career as a 5'11" PG.

[Trackball]

No, because I'm 5'9" and suck at playing point guard.

I'm a natural at playing center, though.

I'm 6 foot. But I don't enjoy playing point guard in MyCareer so. I typically make a 6'7 small forward.
