US Patent 11918897 System and method for individual player and team simulation

A computing system retrieves historical event data for a plurality of games in a league. The historical event data includes (x,y) coordinates of players within each game and game context data. The computing system learns one or more attributes of each team in each game and each player on each team in each game. The computing system receives a request to simulate a play in a historical game. The request includes substituting a player that was in the play with a target player that was not in the play. The computing system simulates the play with the target player in place of the player based on the one or more attributes learned by the computing system. The computing system generates a graphical representation of the simulation.
