After a game (I have only played quick matches) there are actually detailed statistics.  Back when I was playing more, and reviewing games, one of my gripes about soccer games in general and in particular FIFA, was the lack any detailed statistics.  Most game just had the standard possession percentage, shots on goal, maybe shot accuracy, fouls, cards, and who scored.  This was always disappointed because I did not understand why developers could not make deeper statistical games along the lines of what you would see in your typical Madden, NBA Live, and MLB game.<\/p>\n<p>Of course all of this could be old hat to some of you, but this is my first foray into a PS3 soccer game.  Hopefully the end game summaries after the quick match mode foretell deeper statistical tracking in the other game modes.  Seeing player ratings, man of the match, and a graphical representation of where shots were taken and by which player almost brought tears to my eyes.  OK, not really on the tears part, but this type of statistical breakdown is a most welcome addition.<\/p>\n<p>More to come over the next few days.  Hopefully.
