Let's say that IQ is a multiplier. Let's also say you can sum up how good a player is with one number.

If a player had rating 80 and F IQ, they would play like a player with rating ___ with A+ IQ.

That isn't how it works.

This is to determine what people think the multiplier value of IQ is, not to discuss the intricacies of game ratings.

I'm switching O/D in a few games. Will be a SSS but I'll save the before/after stats.
Sr. PG A- C+ C D- A- C+ D-
Sr. SF A- D- C C- A C D-
Sr. SF A- C C D- A C C+
Sr. SF A- D- C C- A C+ C
Jr. C B+ C- C D- B+ C+ D-
So. SG B F C F B- C+ C-
So. SG B- F C C- B- B- C-
So. PF B- D- C+ D- B C+ D-
Fr. PG C- F C- F D+ C- D-
Fr. PG F C C F F C C
Fr. PF F C+ C F C- C+ F
Fr. C F F C C- F C+ F

Flex(3rd column) to Triangle(5th column) as soon as the guys getting the most minutes hit C+ in Triangle.

(holds nose and says ...) I agree with l80/Spud. I do not agree that each attribute is adjusted by the IQ. Instead I calculate an "overall" player rating, based on POS/role then adjust for IQ. Additionally, I think not all IQ are the same - a C+ in Flex is way different than a C+ in FB. Finally while do not think it is linear, linear is easier to calculate, and the difference is not so great as to change strategic reasoning.

Also not all A+ are equal, and is possible for an A+ to play "greater" than their rating.

And now I wait to be corrected.

Yes. The 80 is my overall rating. Now I'm adjusting for IQ. I agree it is not linear. I'll just do quadratic because you can approximately represent many different types of curves.

I think the last two points you made are very interesting for sure. IDK if someone can play higher than their rating. I would bet Top A+ is 1.00 while bottom A+ is like .994 or something. Same with stamina. At the start of the game, everyone is at 1, after 15 seconds, everyone is still fresh but now it is like a .999 multiplier.

"Additionally, I think not all IQ are the same - a C+ in Flex is way different than a C+ in FB."

Can you explain further?

Flex C+ is an efficient, effective, viable player. For a FB player to have the same efficiency would have to be a (approx) B+.

Motion ~ B-
Tri ~ B

That is utter hosrsehit.

Neither of you are presenting convincing arguments.

"It's this"
"No, it's not"

Compelling.

As you wish ... I haven't participated in this thread and don't think it is worth trying to calculate precisely how IQ affects anything else except W's.

Well, when I did a regression analysis of 14 seasons of all three levels and I figured in SIM OWNERSHIP I found the chi value of the IQ value to with in a STD DEV of the mean for all IQ's effect on TOs/possession in relation to their distro setting and fatigue.

Seriously, what do you want me to say? I have successful teams at all levels using EVERY offense and to claim one offense needs a B+ to be efficient and another is C+ is contrary to everything I have noticed. There are like a million factors, IQ is hard to isolate but I can say I have had reasonably efficient scorers against VERY HIGH level competition score reasonably efficiently in a fastbreak at B- (ish) IQ.
