Wishlist - Player Card "Stats" tab

By Ole_from_MN

I'd like to enter an enhancement request for consideration. Would it be possible to have a tab called "stats" on each player card. The value in this would be the ability to see each players career statistics directly from their player card. Not sure how much work that would be. Thanks for considering.

There's a 'lesser' football game that does this and IMO all it does is encourage 'stat whoring'.
However you can still see a players individual stats on the teams homepage.
I can understand why you would like this but personally its a -1 from me I'm afraid.

What is "stat whoring"?

Just curious.

Someone who cares more about individual skills and "having the best player in a regarded position...".
Basically a non-team player.

I'm not suggesting or implying the OP is one of these btw :)

I actually do have this on the enhancement list already - it's kind of deep in the list priority-wise but it is there :-)

Great. Thanks for the quick response. I hope you don't mind potential customers giving feedback. I ran across your site a few days ago, was quite intrigued, and decided to join a league that was beginning their rookie draft. The idea of playing web-based football like this is pretty appealing to me, so I'm anxious to see how you decide to iterate on this project. Speaking of which, do you mind sharing some of the ERs that are near the top of the priority list? Thanks, I think you have a very cool product here.

Not only do I not mind, I encourage it.

Thanks for your comments - it's come a long way in the last year and a half and I don't have any plans of slowing it down.

Obviously there are bugs especially in the game engine that have yet to be squashed - those always take the highest priority. Some UI enhancements include downloading coach data (like you can download player data), a team cap info display, access to your current roster in a modal window (like the player card), add a "years of experience" filter to the player search - those are right now at the top of the list. Of course the list is quite fluid so my mentioning them here doesn't mean they are any closer to being implemented, ha - and I have a pretty decent list for the game center (the ability to track a player instead of the ball, more interaction within the game center to see player info by clicking on a player, full-screen display of the game, links from the game center to the log without plays beyond what you've watched are some items). Somewhere in there is a better experience for mobile devices as well.

I rely on the feedback of players like you to help prioritize items, so I value your feedback. Not just in interface ideas or game engine bugs, but also things that are confusing in the interface and stuff like that. So thanks for taking the time to give your feedback!

To add to this wishlist...
Would it be possible on replays to have the player position in please? eg: "CB John Smith tackles RB Smith Johnson....."

Cheers

That's not a bad idea - I'll put it on the list.
