Chronicles - - - - - - - - -> Player Trophies

I just had a very quick browse through the Player Trophies for Dragons 1.1, Season 6.
I was absolutely horrified to see that 'Very Strong Kickers' had the No.1 and No.2 rated Kick Returners in the League ....... that Team was Bot for 11 games of the Season

Thinking about it, maybe there are 2 factors :-

(1) Plenty of teams don't bother with dedicated Gunners/Kick Returners..... so a smaller 'universe' to pick the 'star' performers from.

(2) A bot team gets hammered, concedes plenty of points therefore will be returning plenty of kick-offs .... so, an opportunity to rack up some 'qualifying points' for player trophies ??

Maybe somebody should re-evaluate the criteria for Player Trophies for KR's and Gunners ??? , it just seems wrong for players on Bot Teams to be winning awards.

Another suggestion to it is to have the number of players at each position reflect the numbers required for a team.

Right now there are 3 for each position but there are 5 OL, 4 DL minimum who would be on a team.

The typical NFL squad might look like any of these.

It would be cool if the player trophies reflected like the NFL's 1st team squad, 2nd team, or maybe like how a pro bowl team would be selected.

Or perhaps rename it to "All-Pro" and make 1st, 2nd, 3rd teams with 11 players on offense and defense and 1 each for ST, but this is material for the suggestion forum.

Good point raised. Same in our league, where Ramdozers, one of the weakest teams in Galaxy 1.1, won trophies for those players. Most likely the trophies are given to players with most 'total return yards', rather than 'best return average'.

KR and PR need a revamp anyway IMO. Why not introduce returns beyond 25 yards at some point, possibly even enable the odd kick and punt return TD? Why not have kick and punt returners, statistically, split into 2 different categories?

I think Pete has this on his 'to do' list. Hopefully this will happen sooner or later.

I would not award player trophys to BOT-teams. Their stats irregular. In our league a Bot-Punter is the best. No wonder, that a bot-punter had the most punts and yards.

But I don't care about trophies for Special teamer and global player trophies.

What worries me is the actual calculation/criteria used to calculate the player Trophies ... if it's 'dodgy' for Special Teams then maybe it's dodgy for all categories.
I don't know any of the calculation/criteria used, but when I look at some of the players receiving the Player Trophies I can make an educated guess ....I'm guessing that there is too much 'quantity over quality'.

Anyway .... I definitely think the calculation/criteria needs re-evaluating because there is no way that Bot Teams have players of sufficient quality to win awards in any League, and certainly not a 1.1 League.

IMHO the player trophies section should be splitted by competition level: 1.1 2.1 2.2...
10k passing yds. in a 3.2 league is not comparable to the same passing distance in a 1.1.

Damn right.

The global "Pro Bowl" team should be selected from Div.1 teams exclusively. I.e. a "Best player" could ONLY come from those top divisions.

However, we've already got the option in link "Player trophies" to s e l e c t a specific division (e.g. 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, etc.) and check players only in Top leagues.

Maybe there is a chance to find fair multiplicators, to compare the stats from the different levels?
