i agree completely on the weight issue for instance in real life a 250 lb linebacker will have no problem at all tackling a 200 lb running back or wide receiver (if they can hit him anyways) but a 200 lb cornerback or safety better know what he's doing if he's trying to tackle a 250 lb tight end or fullback
and that doesn't even bring in the strength/build issue the way i look at it is 0-100 strength should be a % basically how much of his
potential strength does he have?
i'm referring to the fact that a 185 lb man will VERY rarely have the same strength as a 285 lb man unless he works out a LOT and that's only if that 285 lb man doesn't work out, if they work out the same amount that 185 lb man will NEVER catch up on brute strength because of the weight/build difference (if a guy weighs 285 lbs that means every second of every day he is getting the same workout as if the 185 lb guy was wearing a 100 lb weight vest)
as an example most people that work out a little (not a lot maybe 1 or 2 days a week at the gym) can bench press their own weight i would call that a baseline amount maybe rate that a 50 so a 0 would be maybe 1/2 your weight while 100 would be twice your weight still impressive to do but a HUGE difference depending on the weight of a person.
here's why with the above values:
185 lb man --- 0 = 92.5 lbs, 50 = 185 lbs, 100 = 370 lbs
285 lb man --- 0 = 142.5 lbs, 50 = 285 lbs, 100 = 570 lbs
both very impressive at 100 but i know which one i would want in a DL or OL
so back to my comparison
285 lb that doesn't work out has 50 rating 285 lb bench press
to get the same bench press the 185 lb man would have to have a 77 rating
i just think this would be more realistic
