Currently in the cop stats we've two forms of ranking, one is your 'Cop XP rating' and the other is a 'Best cop' which is actually the difference between your wins and loses.

Arguably I think the 'best cop' stat is dependent more on how active you are (because you can get a really large difference just by having many chases even if you lose lots of them) than how successful you are.

I think it would be interesting to see a ranking system based on win to lose ratio. I know that some will argue that this puts cop's in slower cars at a disadvantage but I would like to disagree and state it's the cop's choice to chase cars he can't keep up with or not.

I know it's just stats and I don't take it seriously, but I would still like to see how the charts would look under this stat Smile

I'm thinking it should only count those who have had 100+ chases just to make sure no 'flukes' appear.

Would be cool Smile

Yes.

Instead of being titled "Best Cops", it should probably be titled "Most successful cops" because it's very difficult to say who the "Best cops" actually are.

A win loss ratio has been suggested before but that would only work with a minimum number of chases.

Im sure that would encourage [COP]s who want a higher W/L to chase more ? Further increasing their experience and car control ?

The current "best cops" list already has a minimum number of wins & losses (albeit only 1 of each atm) to be included.

I'm aware of that, I was simply rewording the original suggestion.

I actually think it would work... it's like a Kill Death ratio in first person shooters, it still works out to your ability no matter if you have 10 kills or 10,000 kills. I think the theory is the same.

**[TC]»Elmo«** · 2012-09-02, 02:29

>test<

There's currently a minimum of 5 wins AND 5 losses to be counted in the list.

Wait... so Savy is the best cop?!?!? This is an unexpected turn of events. Tongue

Very nice work.

Added an Average XP field to the test above.

Note that it generally won't be accurate, as the won/lost stats started being recorded before the XP system was implemented, which will make the average lower than it should be for players that were in a lot of chases before the XP system.

I assume that's average XP per chase... so people who engage in chases with faster cars? Nice work.

**[TC]»Elmo«** · 2012-09-05, 21:27

Yup.
In theory, combined with the win ratio, it would give an indication of the relative class of the cars they're chasing - kind of an honour indicator if you will - although it can't take into account the amount and type of backup, so it's a very limited indication.

**[TC]»Pete«** · 2012-09-05, 23:29

Nice, better already.

**[TC]»Elmo«** · 2012-10-30, 02:51

Added new Ratio and Average XP stats to the website & forum stats pages

Tommer · 2012-10-30, 16:20

Nice one, thanks for that Elmo

**[TC] Shino** · 2012-11-02, 19:16

I'm clearly the best cop.
