After a match today, I have noticed that both GK in the same team (GK was substituted) got a rating of 8 despite that there is 0 saves on the statistics. The rating system seems to be inappropriate. A GK cannot just have an 8 just only because he conceded no goals.
A save is when a GK prevents a shot on target being a goal (paraphrased). There are also catches, interceptions etc that don't count as saves.
Neither Saves nor Goals Conceded or Clean Sheets define a GK performance.
Other GKs in the game who had 0 saves and no GA will get a different rating.
PS. Its not the ratings that are bust (although they did seem to give a global boost for a win - like feckin fantasy football! grrr) but the stats which describe them.
A GK performance should be rated mostly based on the number of saves, catches (from corners for example) and mistakes made. Ball distribution can also be considered.Quote:

The ratings have been changed and boosted up but you'd be better using an example other than GK because the game gives you almost zero information relevant to a GK's performance to make an assessment of what produced the rating. Ofc the stats are not actually very good for analysing ANY players performance. ;)

Green is up by 0.5 average are more. The same players played in both seasons.
Edit: Here's am old one I wrote that would allow us to assess better a players involvement and get closer to understanding where a rating came from http://forum.topeleven.com/suggestio...yer-stats.html No one was really interested so I didn't flesh it out.
I've posted at length on GK stats/ratings, and bored Gert and Nik far too often with the 'interpretation' of them. >.< ;)
