i enjoy the use of big belly, beefed up players, but i ONLY use them on the defensive line. the weight is still within legal limits and they are NOT wider, taller, or longer then anything else. i use standard 67 big men and ff.com figs and just use a light weight "filler" to bulk them up ie bigger belly, or bigger "hittin" shoulder pads. I dont bulk up runners or recievers but i do like to add shoulder pads for a more relistic look. The enjoyment for me is simply visual...they dont out-perform any other figure just because i made it look different... i love the reaction i get from my oppenent when i set up my d-line with the big belly bubbas and they go.. "man those are huge" because now i am inside his head because now he "THINKS" i have the advantage and it messes with the head...kinda like a intimidation kinda thing.
