Jerry Tuttle talks radar charts:
I was looking for an opportunity to practice with radar charts and I came across an article on five-tool baseball players, so this seemed like a perfect application for this kind of chart.
A radar chart is an alternative to a column chart to display three or more quantitative variables. The chart graphs the values in a circular manner around a center point.
I have an unhealthy love for radar charts in the right circumstances, and this love came from the way you did scouting in earlier versions of Madden NFL games, using the radar chart to estimate traits. The only problem was, the charts turned out to be a lie: they didn’t really correlate to player talents, but that was something I learned years and years later and probably explains why I’m so bitter all the time.
