Powermonger Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is more than likely a difficult idea to implement but I'll suggest it all the same. After watching @Rashidi's latest YouTube video about using the STAT match analysis tools to prepare for matches, it would be good if we had the ability in FM to actually choose which match statistics company we wanted to contract ourselves to for analysis tools. Just as in real life, there are many different companies that can provide match analysis software and data to clubs to help with their match and team preparation, each have their own presentation style and features to offer to clubs. I would like see FM include these choices by allowing the ability to tender and contract to different match analysis companies. By contracting to different companies, the match analysis screens we see in FM would reflect this, show matching information in that companies style. If you contract to a different company the the match analysis screens take on a different style and presentation. It would not just be style though that is different but features available, so all the companies may provide all the same core information but in addition they may provide their own special key analysis screens that is not available from the other companies. For example, one excels in specialised passing map views and filters to create diagrams, while another may specialise in player performance information. The aim is to inject a bit of individualism and customisation into each club, different managers may have their own preference for the match analysis companies they like to use. As you change clubs, the stat screens available change also depending on which match analysis company the new club contracts to, meaning the UI is not always the same regardless of what club you are at. I understand there would be licensing issues, obviously SI have an agreement with STAT , but there is no reason I don't think they could introduce fake match analysis companies to FM to act is ingame competitors to STAT.

Rashidi Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 @Powermonger Thanks for watching my shows :-) Yeah I agree, because there are a lot of different kinds of stats out there, I want to suggest something along the same lines but with a different twist. I would like each stat company to have a different focus. Benfica is a pretty good example of what's happening irl, but I won't go into that, I will assume the lads at SI have been doing their reading. For example: We could have an option in the game when it comes to Scouting to choose between 3 companies, issue a tender, and we get proposals, much like what we get when we want to choose an affiliate club. This time we get from 3 styles of Match Analysis, these should be broken into Pre and Post Match analyses. For pre match, we could 1. comparisons of various relevant home games, One screen which shows at least 4 home games side by side in panels, these could be the big stat features like: Heatmap, Key Pass Combinations, Interceptions, Shots ( Why, I tend to do this manually for each game, I grab a screenshot then I compare a few side by side to prepare for matches, to see where the AI is stronger, controls the game better, etc. 2. Comparisons from key pass combinations vs different formations which also show linked events for all shots on goal. The goal here would be to show how different formations have different kinds of weaknesses/strengths. Post Match When looking at key pass combinations again, this time we would have an assessment or ranking of players who didn't perform very well with respect to their off the ball movement, by making themselves available for the pass. Here we could have recommendations that based on the stats from a game, we could have training recommendations for a player to work on specific parts of his game. At this time I do this on my own, but I do know companies currently provide this kind of information to clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ideas there Rashidi, I like the idea of tendering for analysis services and entering into a contract with a company, a bit like advertisers or as you say seeking an affiliate club. It would also be good if there were tiers of match analysis packages with ranging fees, thus if your managing a lower league team with less resources of a bigger club, you might only be able to afford a certain level of analysis tools and miss out on some particular screens. Just like clubs upgrade facilities, match analysis information can be upgraded too, either by upgrading to a new analysis/tool tier or entering into a new contract with a different anaylsis company. The end result is that the analysis UI is not static and changes as the club grows or contracts change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
