This cartoon
These are the catagoies of mentioned events.
| Catagory | Reason |
| Stochastic | It is impossible to keep track of all the unobserved variables. Can't predict what exactly the opponent is planning to do |
| Sequential | Current decision affects the future decisions. For example, if a striker was clear and you passed him the ball ahead of him then he will have to run to get the ball |
| Dynamic | While taking the decision the other agents can continuously move |
|
Continuous
|
Speed and direction are continuous variables |
| Partially Observable | We cannot determine the other players are doing or thinking. You might think to pass a ball, and the opponent might think to cover that player. So, your actions can't be based upon his thinking |
| Multi-Agent | Decisions taken by the agent depend upon other players |
