I picked the wrong team, but still, what is going on with player ratings here?

Is this a bug? Seems kind of odd.

You could say it’s a bug, but it can be explained by the way player ratings currently work. Each player start the match with a rating that is based on your opponent’s quality compared to your team’s quality. If you’re playing an easier opponent, your starting ratings will be lower, if you’re playing a harder opponent your starting ratings will be higher. This is to mimic the fact that more is expected from your players if the opponent is worse than your team and vice-versa.

During the match, all player actions add up to the starting rating. If they tackle an opponent, pass successfully, score goals, their ratings go up, if they commit fouls, get cards, miss a pass, etc, their ratings go down. The final rating is then a result of the starting rating plus the actions the player performed during the match.

We know this is a simplistic way of rating players that ignores the overall player contribution to the match and also ignores the position the player is playing, i.e. an attacker missing a tackle should not be a big deal whereas it is a big deal for a defender to miss it. The final rating should also consider how the player contributed to the final match result. For example, if a player gives his team the victory in the last minute, he should get a big bonus to his rating.

All the changes outlined above are already planned to be done, it is good that you brought this up so we can raise awareness of how this works and what we plan to do about it.

This only really seems to happen in the Champions League. It just seems a little odd when you win a game 2-1 but none of your outfield players get a rating over 5.

Gabriel, it is most likely a bug. Same thing has been happening on Copa Libertadores

Check this, just to give a few examples:

Happened again in my next CL game.

I had it twice, both times in a CL match. Also in both cases it was a bad result according to the board though.

Ah, I see what the issue is now! It is a bug in the way we determine the team’s quality/expectation for international competitions taking into account the previous season’s performance. For teams that were not part of international competitions in the previous season the calculation went wrong and the numbers are too low, causing the starting rating and board reactions to be exaggerated.

Thanks for reporting guys, I’ll have a look into it.

Found what the issue was, it shouldn’t happen for next season. I’ve also rectified the values for the current season, please let me know if it happens again.

Cheers
