I took over MSU in Knight and with 7 players didn't have the depth to run the press. I switched to M2M and figured we would really struggle, but figured it was my best option. Color me shocked that we are 25-3 and playing for the Big Ten Championship. Here is the team https://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=12932.

Why hasn't my team struggled more when my best IQ on defense is a B and the majority of guys are B- meaning they were D, C or C+ most of the season?

Wow, looks like just overwhelmingly great talent overcame low IQ's. Most of your players are in the 90's in Ath and Def. Great job!

I don't know the real exact number, but I use (8% x Def IQ) in my overall grade for all positions.

I also rate defense as 1 of 4 separate things I also rate recruits for: Rebounding, Ball Handling, Offense, and Defense.

You can specifically look at my Team Planning spreadsheet that I posted elsewhere in the forums .. here it the LINK .
