But I have created four types of teams. Short and thin. Short and heavy. Tall and thin and tall and heavy.
Besides first base defense, nothing seemed to matter.
To go back to this, I think you have time order mixed up. Height and weight (and for speed, BMI) are correlated to Stuff, Power, and so on. The correlation happens during player creation, so in a sense having high Power (or at least high Power potential) creates high weight, not the other way around. If you change the ratings on the fly after player creation, no, I don't think you'd see any difference; as noted, whatever factor you get from height or what have you has already been baked in to the player.
