Body development over the years

Wow that player evolution look sweet

[Andrew]

It might not be the MLE, but that's still a nice idea for Dynasty Mode...and it does tie in with the idea of players gaining weight/losing weight and their appearance changing.

[Shakes]

He also apparently got circumcised in the offseason.

[Fitzy]

That was uncalled for!

[dsigns]

Nice, exactly what we've been talking about. Great job EA.

Didnt mean to bring up a really old thread, but I had a question about player evolution so I thought I might as well put this question in a pre-existing thread.

My question is: for anyone that has gone past the first season in dynasty, and has got to the player evolution screen, does the type of screen they give you matter? Because I simmed through half of my first season without saving to see players that evolved after year 1. I had the options of seeing Calderon, Bosh, and Jalen Rose. Calderon had a screen where there was only one picture of him, instead of the side by side comparison in the above picture, but still had the comparison of stats. He is doing what you see allan houston doing, looking at his arms and stuff to see how hes changed. bosh, had this small area above him that had year one with only scorer, but at the start of 06-07, he gained inside stopper (not really gained, since by default, inside stopper is just disabled, not like he doesnt have it at all), and only had one picture of him, not like above wheres theres a side by side comparison of the same picture of the player from the beginning and end of the year. instead of just looking at how hes changed like Calderon, hes just smiling and flexing. next, when i viewed jalen rose, i got the same type of screen, a side by side comparison of two of the same players, both being Rose. He got heavier (from 215 to 223, went from medium thick cut to being heavy thick cut), certain stats went up by one (awareness and stuff), but some of them also went down by one (quickness, speed, field goal). Unlike Bosh but like Calderon, he is looking at his arms and stuff and seeing how he's changed.

So, my question is, does the type of screen you get for player evolution tell something, like if you get the Rose-type screen, the player is on the decline, if you get the Bosh-type screen, you've successfully trained him to become a superstar, and for the Calderon-type screen, it shows an up-and-coming superstar-in-training player?

if you make guys who are like 10 yrs old at the start of a dynasty, they grow even more, i made a 15 yr old who was 6'5'' and he was 6'8''-6'9'' in just a couple years.

[bigh0rt]

I don't know but are there players who grow after the age of 18?

I'm 6' 2''...and I'm 25 years old. But I stopped growing at the age of 17. The players who are 7' 0'' are already tall when they are young. I can't imagine people that grow and grow although puberty ends at 17 or 18.

I grew a solid inch from the time I turned 20 to 21 (from 5'10" to 5'11"), and though I'm not sure how common it is, it's not an anomoly.

[Noah]

i was 6'7'' 170 lbs when i was 16, now i'm 6'8'' 214 lbs...

just one inch in 4 years.... damn

[MetalHead]

how do you access the player evolution screen in the off-season?

[lassen24]

i made myself, 14 years old, 5 ft 11, 145 pounds, and put him on my team, his ovrl was in the thirties, but by the time he was 18, they were in the low 60's. i never simmed any more seasons after that. he also gre 4 inches over 4 years, and put on 25 pounds.

[Sam The Man]

im confused so there is a evolution?
And with the weight training u should mension ure ideas to EA sports

[JohnA20]

how do you access the player evolution screen in the off-season?

It automatically comes up after you sign the coaches and go to the regular season. It shows players that have got new FFS abilities, have changed height or weight, and/or have had big increases in their ratings. It should happen in between signing coaches and the training camp.

If none of the previous things happen, you probably won't get the player evolution. It usually happens when you have young players with good potential.

[Noah]

i play with the cavaliers and lebron james is now rated 99 and, very astonishing, put up 16 lbs (hes now at 256 lbs - body type heavy cut)

maybe 2 much fast food

[BIG GREEN]

If fast food made people that fit..america would have the hottest chicks on earth.
