Instead of a "stat-like" number to be displayed on each players profile, perhaps you could have a lot more backroom reports - and you would have to look at multiple reports to find tendencies (or in other words; form)
If, like Dan Bylsma, the game can reason and offer an explanation as to why a player was given, say, 4/5 for the game, I'm all for it. Otherwise I'm not sure I see the point. I really fail to see how a coach giving you a star rating for a particular game helps you identify what playerX did right and what he did wrong any better. And if you are a GM and you want to base your decisions around some rating that your coach gave you, without having any clue what are the problems/good things that led to that rating, well that just sounds really wrong.
