Top tactic after 1200 games

by CBP87, Dec 30, 2023

Afternoon,

Does anyone remember which tactic was top after 1200?

@Zippo @Droid do you have this information available please? is it possible to add the result of 1200/2400/4000 (if applicable) to the results table?

The reason I ask is because (and I don't mean any disrespect with this) but I only really take note of results from 1200 matches, the reason for this is because by the time I've played 1200 matches in game, I've probably already got an OP squad.

Im pretty sure that over 1200 matches there was 1 tactic that achieved 65/66 points but for the life of me can't remember which one it was

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't think something like that would be possible.

Cheers.

I think you’ve missed the point of doing more than 1200 matches, it has nothing to do with how long a save is played for.  When a tactic is tested there is a lot of randomness and just by luck a tactic can rank higher or lower than it should.  The more matches the closer the points ranking is to the “true” value.  What matters to you is the true value because that is what most accurately represents what you experience in your save.

I know what the additional match testing is for, I've been on this website long enough to understand why they test for 1200/2400/4000 matches. My point being is if we take a 70 match season then that is 17 seasons! My reason for asking for the points tally of earlier tests was because within 17 seasons I'm probably going to have an OP team and the RNG won't be as much of a factor

Again it doesn't matter how long you play. It's not like a tactic is good for 1200 games and then it starts to drop off.

Well that is exactly what is happening with some of the tactics, well the majority of them, it is rare to see a score go up in a 2400 match testing, the majority have a reduction in score

That is what happens with top tactics because the reason they are top after 1200 is partly due to luck.  The score decreases with more testing because of regression to the mean.  If you looked at the worst rated tactics you would find the exact opposite happening.  That’s just how the statistics of large samples work, and also why the more tests done the more accurate the result … even if you will only play one season in a real save . 

You could reasonably conclude that the three or four point difference between a tactic after 1200 vs 4000 matches is not likely to be meaningful in a save that lasts only a few hundred matches.  But that isn’t a reason to choose the highest rated tactic based on 1200 matches; instead you should pick any tactic near the top that fits the best players you have available.
