While we are brainstorming match viewer ideas it'd be sweet if there was a chatroom style message window beneath the gameviewer for everyone watching a particular live game. Being able to talk to your opposing coach as the game unfolds would be awesome. (I appreciate this would be non-trivial to implement and may well not be practical server-load wise, just throwing it out there in case its easier than I think it is.

Along those lines, are there any plans to let us watch more than one game at a time? I guess the page would have to render differently (maybe 3 games max, just box scores show and update for each team), but I think it would be a cool addition down the road.

The match viewer is resource intensive as it is, so it will probably be a bit difficult.

Being able to see the match without knowing the score before hand is all I would like to see.

one more thought.. the data to make a text based form is not that bad.. but to store it all in text format would be. The matchviewer takes all the essential data and parses it and adds some contextual flavor text. You can imagine writing a decoder like the matchviewer that does the same job.

This wouldn't be a trivial project for our staffing right now.. but i think should be a long term goal.

I just want to say that I think this would be cool.

Would a possible compromise on the play by play issue be to textually output the time and event that caused a change of possesion? e.g.

12:00 Teams A inbounds ball
11:50 Player X steals ball
11:39 Player Q travels
11:20 Player A hits of a jump shot assisted by Player C.

Getting rid of the passing and dribbling and just cut to the important parts

True, but you could always figure that out from the box scores :-)

Yes, including which team for the player would be a good thing.

no man, I meant you (modred).

I can't understand the little play-by-play that you wrote

Raonne was saying he understood nothing of what you were talking about in your post...

As far as I can tell what you are trying to suggest is already what is there.

There is no "dribbling" in the text output.

However "passing" is a necessary output because it is a skill and also part of the stats of a player?

The point of the match viewer for us as managers is to see how all our preparation for a game affects individual players performance in ALL the areas of the game. This means we want to see passes, steals, mishandling, shots etc.
