Change suggestion to the League Leaders table below the Standings:

Instead of Average Points per Game --> Average Points per Played Minute.

I think it's more fair because some players score 20 points in 10 minutes while others score 22 points in 48.

You can still hold the 'Minimum XX minutes played'.

Average Points per Played Minute;
Average Rebounds per Played Minute;
Average Assists per Played Minute.

Maybe add other skills like Blocks and Steels

I have seen a number of players who have a nice points/minute average with not many minutes played, because they are always in foul trouble and/or their defense is bad enough that their coach (or the game engine) doesn't give them a lot of minutes. Do you think that that type of player is more deserving of being a league leader than a well-rounded player that scores less points per minute, but earns the big minutes he plays?

Anyway, I'd like to have the stats you mention available, but there's no way these should be used as the "League Leaders".

Agreed...part of being the top scorer is playing enough (stamina, staying out of foul trouble, being good enough to be a starter) to have the highest pts/game average.

You can take care of that problem with the 'Minimum XX minutes played'. If you put the minimum on 36 minutes per game or so than the changes a coach (me) has to make to have the best training-effort have less effect on the 'League Leaders' table.

I think that is not true because you play 2 times a week and a starter is not always a starter because of the training minutes. Although, in my team...

The most common league leaders you see in virtually every league is per game averages.

There's no real reason to overcomplicate the leaders for the benefit of a decided minority of people who feel this is better.

I'm quite agree with the suggestion.
Because actually that's stats mean nothing.

There is many bot with player who make the full game twice a week.. that's not really fair because coach like me prefere to change the roster because of :
- Minutes played
- Tactical
- Trainees

Actually in my league the top scorer are ( with average mn )

21 pts/g for 38 mn -> 0.55 pts/mn
20.2 pts/g for 36 mn -> 0.56 pts/mn
19.9 pts/g for 40 mn -> 0.49 pts/mn
19.2 pts/g for 39 mn -> 0.49 pts/mn
18.8 pts/g for 43 mn -> 0.43 pts/mn
18.4 pts/g for 36 mn -> 0.51 pts/mn
17.6 pts/g for 36 mn -> 0.48 pts/mn
17.4 pts/g for 32 mn -> 0.54 pts/mn
17.4 pts/g for 34 mn -> 0.511 pts/mn
17.4 pts/g for 37 mn -> 0.47 pts/mn

Some of my players who are not in the rank..

12.9 pts/g for 27 mn -> 0.47 pts/mn
15 pts/g for 30 mn -> 0.5 pts/mn
14.2 pts/g for 23 mn -> 0.61 pts/mn
10.7 pts/g for 23 mn -> 0.46 pts/mn

My players are better but not in the standing because i make some rotations to train more players. Look quite anormal...

Following that logic, I have some extraordinary scorers:

17.8 pts for 19.6 mins - 0.91
11.4 pts for 15.2 mins - 0.75
19.7 pts for 26.8 mins - 0.74
17.6 pts for 28.6 mins - 0.62

But 3 of them are amongst the League Leaders, and one of them is 2nd overall... So I don't see bots as problem...

The bots aren't really a problem.

This is a case of tryimg to fix something that isn't broken.

I understand what they mean, and in a way I understand them (do you understand what I'm saying? ;) )

Maybe BB can just add 'per minute' stats in the player's page. I agree it should not be added on the league's page since it would become to heavy on stats that way...

I might, or might not have players who have good per minutes stats, I don't realy care, all I care about is that I win or loose, my players also seldom played more then 30 minutes per game until recently, now some play between 30 and 35 per game consistently, but also only 1 game/week. I find this more interesting for my trainingstrategy I have right now, but quite possibly, when I change from short term to long term again my players will get the minutes more spread again.
If you are unlike me, and do find the league leaders stats important, I can imagine you are bothered by the fact your players don't make it because some other (bot) teams have players who just play more minutes, but aren't better, on contrary...
Therefor, if there is any place left, I'd say it might be interesting to add this stat.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

I'm not sure that would happen, but that's much more palatable than replacing a universally known stat with one that is only used by the most intense stat geeks (of which I am one).
