I'm not an expert when it comes to this discussion. In fact, I've never played a down of EF against a coach at the 4.0 weight so you can take my comments with a grain of salt....BUT...I have experimented/played with heavier weights on my board and I gotta tell ya that it is an improvement. With more coaches moving towards bigger boards the "need for speed" becomes highly desirable. If you turn up the speed on those boards with the lighter figures they become less stable. I like playing at a high speed and find that the heavier figures are stable and run a lot smoother (not to mention the realistic, bone crushing collisions at the heavier weight/higher speeds...ya talk about excitement). Now let me say here that I understand tweaking skills (or in my case, lack thereof) play a huge role in this but I'm getting better play out of figures weighing in closer to 4.0 regardless of my tweaking skills All I did was add weight to my existing miggle/tudor/buzzball figures to reach 4.0, tweak the base a little and I'm good to go. I would think that bringing existing teams up to 4.0 for a more experienced coach would not be difficult (I mean come on...if I can do it!) Like my man Jeasy money said, I'll be looking to play at 4.0 competition at some point in the future.

Just my 2 cents!
