[Player Career]
Did Zubieta win Player of the Match because of his high success rate?
I believe SAIKA contributed more to the team. If so, was that not included in the selection criteria?
Both players have the same overall rating, but SAIKA has more goals and assists. Which player contributed more to the team and performed well enough to secure the victory?
Cases differing from my assumptions were also observed.
What is the clear reason why Rodrygo was selected as "Player of the Match"?
I don't understand any of the reasoning behind it.
I don't understand why Vini Jr. was named "Player of the Match".
SAME.
Since the screen capture doesn’t accurately represent the colors, I’ve also attached a screenshot from a video recording.
Alexander from RCM was substituted during the match.
If a player I created is substituted, they aren’t selected as Player of the Match. However, other players are selected, even if they’re substituted.
Regardless of their performance, if their RR is 10.0, they’re selected, and the player I created is ignored.
I believe this is clearly a bug in the selection logic.
Based on past trends, I would have expected Torres to win in this situation, but this time it’s different.
I’m finding it increasingly difficult to understand how these decisions are made.
WHY?
This reminds me of career mode
You can have player of the match every single week
You can have player of the month every single month
You can win every trophy
You can top the goals scored
You can top assists
Player of the season - Another player on your team
EA_Darko - I've had similar experiences myself!
As a recent example - in one league match I scored 14 (!) goals with 2 assists. Overall rating of 10, with ratings of 9.3 Dribbling, 10.0 Shooting, 10.0 Passing, and 10.0 Defending. I played LM.
Teammate had 1 goal with 5 assists. Overall rating of 10, but with generally lower ratings of 8.2 Dribbling, 6.5 Shooting, 10.0 Passing, and 7.3 Defending. They played RM, so the rating weights were the same. However, they got Player of the Match.
Based on this match and several matches with similar performances that have equally baffling Player of the Match awards, along with a similar aggregate miss with Ballon d'Or, my hunch is it's possible to do too well statistically. I know that sounds like bragging :) It's not my intention. It's more to say - if you play well past a certain unknown threshold, it can unintentionally lead to a stack overflow or other similar math error where the game calculates your contributions lower than they should. As a result, the award goes to what should be the 2nd ranked player.
I get not everything under the hood in a game can be shown to players; the mystery is part of the point. That said, I've been playing games for decades, and I worked in QA for about a decade. I know software systems and game systems pretty well. I can usually figure out and understand developer intention, even if I disagree with it. This is not that. It feels not difficult, but instead opaque and cheap and nonsensical. Either it's bugged or the intention is questionable. Either way, it should be changed.
This image shows the results of the match.
Three players have an RR of 10.0, and R. Cherki was named 'Player of the Match'.
However, the rating values for all players except NAGI are incorrect.
The 'Shot Accuracy (%)' value is incorrect.
Gundogan took five shots and scored three goals.
Cherki took 10 shots and scored 3 goals.
Yet both players have a 'Shot Accuracy (%)' of 80%.
Could this be a calculation error?
Does “Shot Accuracy (%)” refer to whether the ball went on target?
I generally assume that shots blocked by the goalkeeper or that go wide do not count towards this statistic.
