Discover the New Field Radar Visualizations in Metrica Nexus

We’re excited to introduce a new way of understanding the game with our latest Field Radar visualizations in Metrica Nexus. Powered by Full Clip Tracking and enhanced by GameCloud, Field Radar transforms how analysts, coaches, and clubs visualize positioning, shape, and tactical dynamics—across football and beyond.

At Metrica Sports, we’re constantly innovating to help coaches and analysts better understand performance on the pitch. Our latest visualization tool—Field Radar—takes match analysis to a whole new level.

Whether you’re analyzing your team’s defensive structure, identifying spaces to exploit, or tracking player positioning throughout a match, Field Radar gives you a bird’s eye tactical view with unmatched clarity.

🧠 What Is Field Radar?

Field Radar is a visualization layer that overlays positional data on top of game footage or schematic field views. It highlights the positioning of all players and the ball at any given moment, enabling analysts to:

• Identify team shape instantly

• Visualize ball progression and defensive blocks

• Highlight transitions and build-up structures

• Predict future movements with “Future Trail”

• Customize zones, radar views, and perspectives

See the examples below for inspiration from our latest update.

1. 🧠 Field Radar for Training Analysis

Use Field Radar to visualize team structure during tactical drills. See how your out-of-possession (OOP) shape reacts to ball movement in training. Whether you’re working on pressing triggers, compactness, or transition reactions, this tool helps coaches evaluate spatial control and communicate expectations clearly.

Understand how your defensive line shifts and compresses space as the ball moves across the pitch.

2. 🎯 2D and 3D Views with Ball Tracking

Field Radar supports both top-down 2D and 3D broadcast-style visualizations, complete with automatic ball tracking. Use this to analyze build-up phases, track player distances to the ball, or detect structural issues.

These views allow you to switch perspective effortlessly depending on the communication context—be it tactical meetings, video breakdowns, or social media posts.

3. 🎥 Create Animations to Enhance Impact

Visual storytelling is key in performance analysis. With our Field Radar engine, you can animate movements, passes, and tactical instructions to make your content more engaging and educational.

Highlight key attacking patterns like “1+3 in build-up” or illustrate a player’s forward run with future trail lines and directional arrows. Perfect for creating teaching content or external reports.

4. 🌐 Field Radar for Multi-Sports

Field Radar is not just for football. We’ve expanded support to multi-sport contexts, including basketball and ice hockey. Whether you’re analyzing a pick-and-roll or a breakaway counterattack, the tool helps visualize spatial dynamics clearly and consistently.

This flexibility makes Field Radar a universal visual layer for team sports, ideal for clubs, federations, and educational institutions.
