Subject: [update] Additional Player Stats

It would be great if we get a few more player game statistics to gauge the performance of a player during a particular game or over a particular period. Some of them that I can think off the top of my head are:

1) Number of passes - split over successful and unsuccessful
2) Number of dodges - The times a player successfully evaded the ball being taken from him from an opposition player
3) Number of tackles
4) Number of shots - on target, off target, clearances, etc
5) Number of long balls
6) Longest distance from which goal has been scored
7) Number of saves by GK
8) Distance run across the pitch

Most of these stats will be split over successful and unsuccessful parameters like how I've written for passes. It can also be split across official/friendly/NT games and then further over how strong the opposition was where we can introduce the avg mark parameter to segment it over. The avg mark parameter will be particularly useful to understand the true efficiency and capability of a player because without that as a filter, the stats will be highly skewed on either side based on the level of opposition that a player frequently comes across.

If anyone can list out a few more, please add them to the list.

9) Headers
10) Type of goal - Long Distance/One on One/Headers
11) Part of a goal setup - All players who were part of a goal setup(not only the goal scorer and assist) get counted over here

stats of players really depends in witch division player plays so its irrelevant to his market price.
his skills make him what it is.
On other hand i like all that statistics for players that stay in my club for long time so its yes and no for me

Of the 23 people that have voted till now, 7 (30%) people have disagreed to this. Wonder why.

Well individual stats are not so important, the game engine is "simple" : i mean every players play the same depends on skills.

So for individuals, stats are not so important, we CHOOSE skills and point, whatever are the stats. (note that if the skills was hiding for ALL those stats will be essentials, it would be a great game changer.)

Off course more stats during a game (individual and/or global) could be useful to analysis tactic in deep, but in fact we just have to watch a game to see our strengths and weaknesses...

So in my opinion, it would be nice to have more stats, but not essential.

Do you think additional player stats [..] will have an impact while choosing one similar player over another on TL?

No.

Because, so far, 8 voters (including myself) think that it will not make any ipmact.

I feel that additional player statistics is a good additional feature to have for the game, it just makes it more lively. I might be obsessed with stats because I'm a big fan of cricket as well which is a very stats-heavy game so maybe I'm looking for a similar thing in football as well.

I am very keen to have more stats as well, but does the players rating not let you know how well a player preformed in his position?

Not always. Many times I've seen players perform way better than what their rating suggests. Still unsure about how the post-match ratings work.

70% people kind of agree that more stats will impact their transfer decisions, clearly a majority.

70% of what? 20 people?

42 people. The guys who actually bother coming to this thread and giving a vote. A high probability that these people are the ones who are actually thinking about the future of the game. The people who voted are less likely to be random casual players who log in once a week or once a month.

Good idea, obviously this feature is far to be a priority, but it would be interesting and funny for the future.

Additionally, I always wanted also a record of the titles or honors of every player a long of thier carrers. For that, of course, we would need define individual awards in every league in every country in every season, not easy i gues,

For example:

Peter Williams, age: 24
(image of a ball)Top goal scorer: Colombia - Segunda División 02 - Season 52 (goals: 25)
(image of a ball)Top goal scorer: Panamá - Liga Nacional de Ascenso 01 - Season 47 (goals: 35)
(image of a star)Top assist: Panamá - Liga Nacional de Ascenso 01 - Season 47 (assists: 15)
(image of a medal)Best player of the season: Panamá - Liga Nacional de Ascenso 01 - Season 47 (mark: 64.3)

P.D. I know, this is only in my imagination :)

+1 Yeah, something like that but other things as well.

Good idea, KautukP, I like it - it's very good for doing the game even better, but I think this feature should be one of the last ones on the priority list of the developers.

Yes, it can be given low priority but these additions will take the game to the next level. I'm sure no other games will have such in-depth stats.
