Someone told me that real life soccer players are slim and that Fifa 99 and its predecessors modelled them incorrectly....but why are the models soooooo irritatingly thin? Apparently the classic team players are of the correct size... as in, more realistic...
what does everyone else think?

I agree, I've been posting the same case. Apperently nobody seems to agree. The players are indeed thin. I also noticed that the player model in the Classic mode below around 1989 i think are in correct proportion. Maybe If we post more of these suggestion someone might fix this problem up. The Goalkeepers also seem to be in correct proportion.

I dont agree, Ive been reading a lot of postings about this and I still cant see the problem... I still find them on correct proportions.
