Rating system

But the stats aren't accurate. They never are. And hardly ever make any sense.

Thats what we are talking about in this thread, but it was you who said

"Looking at your screenshot, I think the ratings could be pretty accurate"

I think we are mixing up RATINGS and STATS here. It's the stats that usually don't make any sense. True, the ratings are not always truly fair, but what I first meant was that maybe their defenders had a really good match for their quality, whereas although your strikers did well to score 4, maybe they should have got many more. You say that you had 10 shots on target, but you only scored 4 times. Therefore his defence must have stopped at least another 6 goalbound shots. That's what I meant by them playing well.

I think many aspects of this game doesn't make any sense. But imo if anything is more accurate; stats are more accurate than ratings. Your opinion could be different than mine that is ok.

But no defense deserves good ratings; if their team concedes 4 goals. And as I wrote 10 out of my 19 shots finds its target. If that would be like 4 out of 19 shots and all of them would have been converted to a goal; than I could say that the defense played better but the GK was in his bad day. But for the stats like 10 out of 19 shots on target; I can't say his defense and GK are on their good day. At least I don't want them in my team after watching a 4-0 game on this circumstnaces. Anyway what are we discussing? We are trying to give meaning to one of the most unlogical football manager game in history.
