Player Stat Abbreviations

[heppy1972]

Hello Everyone, While new here... I am not necessarily new to the game as I did buy previous versions, but really never dove in to deep into them... I just bought FOF9 to dedicate my time too, and I am lost on many of the abbreviations that are used to understand my players better...

For example, I was looking at Running Backs under the Depth Chart screen, and while I knew some, the majority I have no idea about.

I did a ton of looking on Google, I read the manual through every page, and I can't seem to find any explanation of what the abbreviations stand for... I even did a Google Search for general Football Stat Abbreviations thinking these are likely common when review real players, and came up empty.

Does anyone have a link or document that can steer me to better understanding the players abilities?

Thanks for your time,

Heppy.

Most stats are fairly familiar, or searchable.

There are a few, at least, that are specific to this game... off the top of my head:

PR% for defensive front = what % of pass plays the player on the field for resulted in that player accomplishing a sack, hurry, or knockdown (I think)

PD% for defensive players = a very complex formula of the various outcomes of pass coverage, blended into one number: 82.5 is the arbitrary starting point, good stuff make it go higher, bad stuff makes it go lower... a starting player with a score of 80 or more had a rather good season

KRBs and KROs: the game uses a metric of "key run blocks" where one blocker is assigned as the lead/impostrnt blocker for a running play, that guy gets an "opportunity" or KRO and if the play is successful using a multi-tiered metric (hatched via Football Outsiders, I think and maybe modified for this game) the blocker is credited with a "key run block" KRB... and a success % can be derived from those

I'm sure there are more, those just leap to mind.

If you hover your cursor over each of these abbreviations it will tell you what it means. What you are posting are not stat abbreviations though. These are player ratings abbreviations.

Ok, I noticed that some of them are in YELLOW text, which when I hover over they pop up a name for that abbreviation, but ALL the one's I listed are in WHITE text, and not mouse over option coming up???

All mine are white and hoverable to get the information. Not sure what you are seeing to be honest.
