    STATS, STATS, AND MORE STATS: GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
  • DerrickFenger_XBLD DerrickFenger_XBL

    Reliving the story of each game with your friends is so much fun. Figuring out what went right, what went wrong, and who was responsible, is one of the most fun aspects of the game.

    However, currently, if one wants to look back on what took place in a game, they have to piece together the box score and try and remember who was controlling which player, when. The batting and pitching analyses pages are great (save for one big limitation--see P.S. below), but these too cannot be broken down by human player. It would be SUPER interesting to see that my friend William can only connect on middle middle fastballs, my friend Alan only hits hanging curveballs, and my success seems to follow a very random pattern because of my guessing pitches plate approach. Seeing stories like these would go such a long way in making every game THAT much more fun to play.

    But let's not stop with post-game stats, let's also get cumulative stats from every game played. Call of Duty has K/D ratio available for every friend to see. It breeds friendly competition between friends and it's great. How great would it be to see how many HRs I've hit vs. how many my friends have hit in coop? Pretty great!

    Let's also talk about implementing the crème de la crème of baseball storytelling: advanced stats. WAR, wOBA, wRC+... These stats do an incredible job of telling more sophisticated stories of player value on the diamond. The world of advanced stats is here, and has been here for almost 40 years now. It's time the Show catches up!

    P.S. being able to display more than 40 pitches on batter and pitcher analysis just HAS to be done... it's crazy to only display the last 40...
