An early update had Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus upscaled and Ceratosaurus and Tyrannosaurus downscaled. How about a herbivore version of this update? I’ve heard talk about an upscaled Dreadnoughtus and a downscaled Styracosaurus. What’re your choices. Remember, only 2 upscaled herbivores and 2 downscaled herbivores.
Dinosaurs Herbivore Upscale Downscale

A few more i think, Huayangisaurus, Crichtonsaurus, Chasmosaurus, Styracosaurus, Gigantspnosaurus and Kentrosaurus needed to be scaled down.
Instead of two up and two down, can I just have four down? Because there's a lot more oversized animals in this game than undersized ones...
Well, if I really had to pick two I'd say Huayangosaurus and Crichtonsaurus are the ones in most desperate need of a downsize... they're about twice their actual size and would help alleviate the lack of small herbivores (it's not that they aren't in the game, it's that they're too big!).

My apologies. It’s just that the carnivore one only had 4. Are there anymore dinosaurs, carnivore or herbivore, that need to be rescaled?
Are you kidding? Most dinosaurs in this game are either too big or too small... mostly too big... in fact the only ones I can think of that are too small are Dilophosaurus, Gallimimus (but both are movie animals, so good luck getting those upscaled), and maybe Suchomimus, Edmontosaurus and Dreadnoughtus, the latter one needing a complete redesign as it looks nothing like a real Dreadnoughtus...
Um...Have some of you forgotten that JP/JW dinos were never meant to be accurate?
This is community manger Paul_Crowther’s response almost a year ago.
Dreadnoughtus is the only plausible exception based on specific factors which are: its official description in-game, and the fact that Paul’s statement can change along the line for any possible (and only possible) exception to their goals like my first said reason.
It should be noted that if more size change plans do happen in the future, they have to change around the meshing to their animations and other stuff, which I’ve been told was proven to be difficult for them, as they did when they resized the four selected carnivores last year.

That, and if I'm correct Dreadnoughtus came out after he made that statement, which gives me hope that they'll give her a size buff.
Other than Dreadnoughtus, I doubt we'll receive any more size changes. However, if I did have to pick 3 more, I would pick Styracosaurus, Chasmosaurus, and Huayangosaurus, all to be downsized.
I do agree that dinosaur accuracy has never been JWE's strong suit, or for that matter, the JP and JW franchises as a whole. However, my desire for dinosaur resizing isn't based on accuracy, but for diversity. For example, consider Dreadnoughtus. In my opinion, Dreadnoughtus is too similar to Brachiosaurus, making it a redundant dinosaur. Giving Dreadnoughtus a size buff would make her more unique.
