Does anyone know if there has been any statistical analysis on the true impact of IQ?

Meaning that if a player has a def rating of 100, would an IQ of B give us a drop in rating to def = 85?

Something like:

A+  100% 
A      96%
A-     92%
B+    88%
B      85%
B-     82%
C+    78%
C      75%
C-    72%
D+    68%
D     65%
D-    62%

No idea of any statistical analysis

My sense from gameplay is that IQ matters a bunch and that its effect may not be linear - that the difference between say C and B is bigger than from B to A........but I'm not sure

I agree with mets. There is a bigger gap between C and C- to B range, compared to the differences between B/B+ and A-/A range. In other words, IQ matters a lot, so if you have a team thats not as good in ratings but are all A's and B+'s compared to a team with better ratings but only one or guys in the B/A range and the rest of his guys are C's, you have a good chance at pulling an upset.

Think of a veteran mid-major, with all Jr's and Sr's compared to the Kentucky's of the world with all Frosh. Kentucky may be more talented (probably is), but the team with the sr's has a great chance of winning the game. Okay, a very good chance.

My guess, and that is all it is, is that it is probably fairly close to the same ratios as Iguanas chart for amount of time it takes to increase IQ.
Here is the chart but I am too lazy to work the ratios right now.

  • Iguana1's BBIQ Practice Minute Chart: These are the ranges
    I've found based on the 4 seasons since the iq grading has
    changed.
    The number on the left assumes a "fast" learner.  WE of 80 and
    GPA over 3.2.  The number on the right is for a slower learner.
    WE around 40, GPA under 2.5.
    Of course there are extreme cases on both ends.  I had a player
    with a WE of 11 that took about 20% longer than the second
    number.

    • F   > D-      50-75
      D- > D       50-75
      D   > D+    50-75
      D+ > C-     50-75     total F  > C-    200-300

    • C- > C     100-150
      C  > C+   100-150
      C+ > B-   120-200    total  C- > B-  320-500    total  F  > B-   520-800

    • B- > B     290-400
      B  > B+   290-400    total  B- > B+  580-800    total  F  > B+   1100-1600

    • B+ > A-   375-500
      A- > A     575-775
      A  > A+   450-625    total  B+ > A+  1400-1900  total  F  > A+   2500-3500
