DI - Lowest Speed Rating = 36

DII - Lowest Speed Rating = 24

DIII - Lowest Speed Rating = 15

SG

DI - Lowest Speed Rating = 32

DII - Lowest Speed Rating = 17

DIII - Lowest Speed Rating = 10

Granted these guys probably suck big time, and probably wont be recruited. Again I am not 100% if IBA has rolled over to the new engine with this new recruit generation but if so those are the lowest in Speed that I found.



IBA starts recruiting tonight, so these are recruits generated under the old engine.

That is absolutely true ... and the REB and ATH attributes both need to be be good to have a good rebounder. The guide even says this
You need to pay less attention to the guide and more attention to what actually happens in games. You only need good reb to be a good reb in HD. Having good ath helps somewhat, but reb is far-and-away the category that drives ability to rebound.

I agree that REB is more important than ATH in terms of rebounding per game but ATH will make you better if all other things are equal. It will also help you scoring as well.

Then again, who knows with the new engine. Things may have changed and we will all have to adapt.

Isn't it true that, all things equal, superior ATH improves just about every category?

Ath does not act as a modifier, it's a standalone category. It does effect things like defense, ability to rebound and score in traffic, block shots, etc. like it would in real life. It wouldn't effect things like bh, pa, ft shooting, etc.

And yes, all else being equal, a player with 90 reb and high ath will rebound better than a guy with 90 reb and low or avg ath. But the difference isn't huge, and guys with high reb and low ath can rebound just fine. A high reb, low ath guy will beat up a low reb, high ath guy on the boards.

Yea but I thought once the worlds turned over after May 12th, everyone would be using the new engine, is that correct?

That is the assumption I was under? If thats not the case then dis-regard my earlier post!!! LOL

When games start playing, they will be using the new engine, and when new recruits are generated, they will be from the new engine as well, but the recruits that are currently there were created 6 weeks ago after the last recruiting period in Iba.

Cool, I forgot that recruits were generated at the start of the season, but am I correct that the old recruits will still follow the new engine in regards to potential (being slower etc.) Are is that just for new recruits?

I remember seeing that going forward new and old recruits will follow the new engine, is that correct?

I do agree with this but let me say this, if a player A had 90 reb and 40 ath and player B had 80 reb 50 ath, I would put my money on player B being the better rebounder. In this game I have seen the higher athleticism guys with slightly lower rebounding have better averages.
