Test Assists and other stats on the Beta Page

04-11-2024 14:00

For all you stats enthusiasts, exciting features are coming to the football game soon. Since the early days of ManagerZone, tracking assists has topped the community's wishlist. We recently took a deep dive into the simulation engine to see what useful stats we could pull — and not just assists. The results? More than we'd hoped for! The Beta Simulation test page is ready for you.

After playing a game in the testing area, you'll notice stats are now organized into two sections. The Compact tab shows a sample of stats, while the Detailed tab offers a whole new level of insights.

Here's what you'll find in the Detailed tab:
  • Player Speed Analysis: Check your players' average speed, both while running and in possession of the ball. This helps you ensure your fastest players are fully utilizing their speed.
  • Shooting Accuracy: View each player's Shots on Target percentage and Goals per Shot percentage.
  • Movement Tracking: Measure player activity across the pitch by total distance covered.
  • Ball Possession: See each player's total time in possession, expressed in minutes and seconds, alongside a percentage of the team's overall possession. If your best players aren't getting enough touches, try adjusting their positions.
  • Passing Details: Gain a detailed view of successful and failed passes, plus each player's average pass length. This is especially valuable if your game strategy relies on long passes or crosses.

Additionally, you'll find new columns for yellow and red cards, own goals, successful tackles, corners, free kicks and penalties.

How to test

Head over to the Beta Simulation test page (which you can also find in the Matches menu). You can play matches against any of the teams that have opted into the Beta, these are listed under Opponents. Hit the thumbs-up challenge icon to start a match. Once the match is ready, click the T icon to enter the match page. Scroll down to Full Match Statistics and click Detailed. Now you can see all the new stats. Please report any bugs or doubts you may have to us.

Please note that these new stats are only available in the football game for now. Also please note that no changes have been made to the sim during this update. Happy testing!
