NFBC Message Boards

Just trying to be constructive. Please do not take it any other way.



The simple things first.



• All scoring categories to the left



• An indicator for whether a player is a scheduled starter for the day



• Either combine or show consistency in how the stats are displayed in both the free agent pool and under the player stat drop down choice. The player stat display has much more functionality and could serve as the FA pool as well if you added the current team owner and % owned and % started categories; along with the current FAAB functionality.



• Sort FAs by MI and CI (this is available under the play stat choice)



. Add the same drop down choices that are available under the player stat choice to the FA pool.



• The set line up choice should show, at the very least, the current period and the next one. Ideally, it should show all future scoring periods, but I understand that you want to limit future activity to eliminate DL manipulation. Currently we only see the next and not the present.



• Add a daily trend category under the live scoring feature.



There are a lot of good ideas out there with many more elaborate change suggestions, but these are the simple changes that should make the platform more practical (imho).

It would also be nice to have some timeframes to sort free agents by. "Last 7 days" comes immediately to mind.

Currently you have to go to two separate databases to get the necessary information.

This will come in the next day or two. Hopefully three sets of matchups will be shown at all times: Monday-Thursday of this week; Friday-Sunday; and Monday-Thursday of next week. That's what I've requested and I think they are working on that now. I believe improved Team Stats and Set Roster pages are next to be done.

That would be very helpful, especially considering that current period disappears from the lineup page once it starts. I keep going back to Yahoo just to remind myself who I got starting. Highlights, bolding pitcher names or a "carrot" (Yahoo style ^) next to them would do it. Whatever is easier for the tech guys.

• All scoring categories to the left





That is the only issue I have. Put all of the "counting" cageries first. Then have the batting, slugging, on base, etc on the right.

Hopefully this is in the right post, and not a repost. I noticed that the my players notes and all players notes just seemed to be backwards. Probbaly not a major issue, but i didn't see it here, so i figured i'd throw it out in a post that seemed to be trying to make changes for the good, and not in one trying to call out only negatives.

Everything is coming along very nicely if you ask me (I know you didnt)

FYI- When you sort numbers, for example Inns pitched or ERA, it sorts by text and not by numerical value. Example 0.0, 1.0, 10.0, 2.0, 22.0, 3. I am using IE, if that matters.

Sure would be nice to have the feature that identifies scheduled starters on the day the pitch.....I hope that's on the way soon...

Chrome is incredible. I used to be hooked on Firefox until I read about Chrome here. Faster!

Sorry Dub I should have been more specific. I was talking about on the live scoring page. NFBC had it last year and 99% of the other sites have it on the live scoring page. It's nice to get a one stop look at that page in the morning and see who you have pitching that day.



It is nicely identified on the set lineup page with the highlight, I agree with that. Just would like to see it daily on the live scoring page....
