App Update! NEW Edit Games Feature
We’ve always envisioned Stopper as a platform that provides an objective assessment of goalkeeper skill and ability – a common set of stats that provides better insight into game performance than save percentage or goals against average. Ultimately, we want it to be a common language for analyzing goalkeepers that allows players and coaches to connect across all different levels and organizations. In our early concept meetings, we discussed the risk of people gaming the system by adjusting their stats post-game – and so, very early on, made the decision to not allow editing once a game has been saved.
Â
Fast forward a couple of years, and it’s become clear that editing saved games is a necessary feature, based on feedback from Stopper users. Recording stats takes time and effort, and the reality is that players and coaches use Stopper as a real tool to help identify player strengths and weaknesses, not a way to make themselves look good. Editing saved games helps eliminate input errors, making player stats that much more accurate.
