Why do players develop some IQ in other schemes? Topic

On any roster, players will develop some IQ - not much - in def and off that the team neither plays nor practices. 

Anyone know why or how?

One theory is that it comes from playing AGAINST such schemes.

Another theory is that it just naturally happens for no particular reason.

Any better ideas?

My guess is that playing time improves everything, and that things with zero minutes - attributes/offenses/defenses you're not practicing - improve in tiny increments.  Attributes degrade without practice, though, and I don't think there's anything built in that degrades IQ.

It was something that they had added and supposedly took out.  This is a super old ticket response, but:

Hi Aaron, looks like the developers add it so you'd some slight increases in IQ based on your opposition's offense/defense but then they decided to keep it simple and took it out.

That was the excuse until I showed them in increases in my FCP even thought I hadnt played against a FCP defense all season.

Keep in mind the increase is the equivalent of about 3 practices over the course of 4 seasons, so I don't know how much it'd help to schedule non-conf games for that reason, as you said, IFF that's even true anymore.
