I have been playing for a couple years now and this game has been worse and worse every year. Currently my team has (4) 800+ rated players, 9 with over 700, mostly Jr or Seniors and everyone is rated over 70 in their player positions and I’m still losing to teams that are 627 overall and guys with 27 perimeter ratings are banking 3’s. This game is flawed and I’m pretty sure it picks favorites. This is my last year playing this game and I would recommend the same for you.

Overall rating doesn't mean anything and you care too much about it

a player at high D1 isn't good if they are 800+ but sub 70 ath/spd.

Your team has 4 players over 80 ath or def in a zone press that's not good for high d1.

If it's a sim team they set all players to 0 3 point frequency so running a heavy - is I'll advised regardless of their talent level.

I would recommend learning what attributes the game actually likes before quitting and telling people to quit when its just you not knowing what skills to recruit

I gotta say, seeing Ian advise someone to learn the system and try new things instead of rage quit is kind of sweet, if ironic. Maybe he's turned a corner, folks.

Checked out the team quick. I see some strange minute distribution and offensive shot distribution which, with some tweaking could help your offensive shooting %. Change it up a little and see what happens especially with whose getting the shots and whose shooting your 3's.

Jmo.

Couple of quick things that caught my eye. Running zone/press is fine but you need a helluva lot more speed for the press to be effective. Second, you need better passing on your squad. At high D1 you need to have at least 1 guy with a passer rating > 80 and a team passing rating > 60. Now, these numbers aren’t absolutes but soft guidelines for something to aim for.

Couple of other quick things: This game is not easy if you want to reach higher levels. You have no true PG and overall your passing attributes are pretty bad (team AST/TO ratio is not good). Hudson needs more shots. You have a good offensive team and a not so good defensive team. All attributes matter in some respect. Pay attention and you're squad could still make a run to the NT. Stick with it. That's what makes the game fun.

My rage has subsided and after looking over this I realize that there is much more I can adjust. I’ll delete this post and apologize to the servers so take this time to heckle me for my shame. My bad
