My username should really have been Statto.
I LOVE stats.
It's my favourite saying, (or seems to be anyway), but SI introduced an excellent new feature in "best eleven", but did so VERY poorly.
1. The stats included are only for the years that individual players were vited into the annual best eleven. So if a player was in it for 3 years and then not in it for the next couple of years, although he would be in the "overall best eleven", his stats would only show 3 years worth of figures.
2. If you can do club "best eleven", why can't you do "competition best eleven". We could have all-time Premiership best eleven or all-time FA Cup best eleven.
3. From there we go onto competition stats. You have record all-time goal-scorers at International level for nations, you have record all-time goal-scorers for clubs, you have many awards for seasonal top scorers in various competitions. Why then can't we have All-time Premiership top scorer. Or how about most FA Cup appearances. All stats that are available in the game should be on a rolling basis as an all-time record.
The David James clean sheet record.
The Gary Speed Premiership appearance record.
The Alan Shearer Premiership goals record, (is it even him that has it?).
The most International goals record.
All this information is in the game already and it's
just a matter of getting it stored and accessible in such a way that it doesn't slow the game down.
I love the "best eleven" feature, but it could and should have been so much more.
4. Stats in general. We can't see tackles and pass % for non-competetive games. This drives me flippin mental

.
5. I want statistical data on what part of the pitch goals are scored from.
6. I want statistical data as to what time during a game goals are scored and conceded at.
7. In an ideal World, the best eleven feature would only be updated when a player either left your club or retired. You would then be able to click on the player and see not his attributes but his playing stats and accolades. How many medals and trophies he won. Hom many game she playedm goals/assists/MOM awards/clean sheets he got.
You put something so innovative in like "best eleven" but then really don't do it justice. It's a real shame.
