I've had a couple people PM me to express concern that the game is currently a little lopsided based on the past few games. So, I went ahead and did a bit more comparison between the Joe and Cobra teams to figure out how equal things are or are not between the two.
Firstly, of the last 11 half-games (6 strike, and 5 ops), as I've explained before, all but the most recent strike game have been decided by three or fewer posts (excluding the shield debacle). As the Joes currently have 29 players listed on their roster and Cobra has 32, I removed dustycarlsile, 5h4rK and CrimsonAce89 from the analysis because they haven't played in the last 3 games, and their distribution of EXP scores were approximately representative of the team. Of the 29 players the ranks wind up being pretty much evenly spread between the teams Level -- Joe -- Cobra 0--------2--------2 1--------3--------2 2--------1--------2 3--------3--------2 4--------3--------2 5--------5--------4 6--------4--------7 7--------6--------7 8--------2--------0 The only points of difference is two joes have reached Level 8 before any Cobras, and Cobra is over-represented for Level 6s. However, with one more game played, two Level 6 cobras become Level 7 and one Level 7 cobra becomes Level 8. So except for small vagaries of EXP the levels are pretty much exactly equal between the teams. In fact, the total EXP sum (remember, each player gets 5 EXP per game played +1 for being on command) for the two teams of 29 players comes out to: G.I. Joe - 4108 Cobra ---4120 A difference of two games played. In favour of cobra. I've attached a graph showing the exp total for players, directly comparing in order the 29 players of each team from lowest to highest EXP. With that graph, I included two regression lines (power 4) to allow comparison. Joe's lowest and highest players have slightly more experience than their Cobra counterparts, but Cobra's mid-level players have more experience than the Joe's. Overall, both teams are very equal in terms of players available to them. Which is good news because it means that the games for the next several months should be very competitive slugging matches that will hopefully reach exciting conclusions on their final days. As much as I enjoy the occasional blowout (of the other team of course), its more fun when we all actually earn our wins. |
