I am currently practicing and playing halfcourt man/press defense on the D2 level. i give 20 min to man and 20 min to press. is this to tough a defense to try to pull off on D2? Does it require to many core attributes i have to look at in recruiting (i will need to look at not only ath/spd but now def as well)? is just running press just as effective? Just looking for some people who have already had to address these questions so i don't waste time trying to do something that is hard to pull off on my level. thanks in advance for the help.

I've vascillated like this a few times as well, but not at D2. Looking at your squad, I think you can pull it off, as most of your guys have DE > 50.

However, I've come to the subjective conclusion to pick a defense and stick with it. With the HCP/MM option, I just never seemed to find that I was getting enough impact for so many minutes of defense practice. Whereas, if you even put just 30 minutes (10 less than what you're doing now) into either Press or MM, whichever you choose, you may be better off. Even with potential and hard ceilings, my conclusion has been to just stick to one defense and get those IQ's up.
