Python Footbal Manager
Simple football simulator where all 2019/2020 Italian Serie A's teams play against each other (home and away). All the clubs are managed by the CPU; user interaction is actually limited to setup team's rosters, tactics and chariness at the beginning of the league. User Interface is totally textual through standard output.
Features included:
- Full 2019/2020 Serie A with all the teams and players
- League and strikers board
- Match statistics
- Players match ratings
- Match commentary with configurable speed
- 38 rounds of home and away matches; home playing teams get bonus
- Pitch conditions simulation (poor, just two levels: good or bad)
- 4 different roles: Attakers, Midfielders, Defenders and GoalKeepers
- 3 different playing field zones: Left, Center and Right
- 4 different technical skills for each player: Attack, Midfield, Defense, GoalKeeping
- Stamina and residual energy both defined in terms of consecutive playable matches
- Penalizations when a player plays in a not suitable position (role, zone or both)
- Configurable tactic and "chariness"
- Simulated coach: at the beginning of each match he setups the team as per required tactic and chariness letting out-of-energy players sitting on the bench. Out-of-role players are adopted only when there's no other choice to get 11 players
- Match ratings: performance of each player on each match is measured with a vote in the range 0.0 ... 10.0
- Ball possession percentage
- Average ratings: each single match rating of each player is taken to build at the end of each round, the Best Players board
About "chariness": it may take 3 levels:
- 1 --> team will try to find the goal frequently exponing itself to counter-attack risks
- 2 --> team will keep often the ball possession
- 3 --> team will limit its attitude to attack to prevent the risk to lose the ball possession
