State of
the Game September 19, 2007 Today
marks the seven month anniversary of my managing the College Basketball game. There
have been several changes over the seven months and thankfully, no data disasters
(knocks on wood). To
review the modifications to date: Ø
Consistently
timed SIMs, 90% (or greater) occurring at 3:00 PM ET with
all data available by 6:00 PM ET. Ø
Improved
communication, specifically as it pertains to the processing and posting of new
recruits. Ø
Each
box score for a season is now available directly from your season schedule.
Further, the box scores are available for the entire season. Ø
Each
box score’s PBP is also available directly from the schedule page. Ø
Champions page was modified to include the runner
up, box score and PBP. Ø
Removal
of individual coach variances as they pertain to viewing recruits. Ø
Addition
of appropriate code to remove the predictability of recruits with certain
attributes. Ø
We
won the MPOGD.com Game of the Month vote for April, 2007. Ø
Removal
of and subsequently more timely use of the Big Red Box. Ø
Instructions
deadline posted on main page. Included is a count-up of time taken to process
games and when the upload has begun. Ø
Employment
of moderators on each league’s MB. This group has been invaluable in
providing direct feedback about other issues as well. Ø
Removal
of ability to sign-up on MB which has eliminated spam posts completely. I
have been unable to spend as much time on development as I would have liked,
but I continue to collect information and make plans for some changes. In fact,
I have a couple folks assisting with this effort. Hopefully,
you have all continued to enjoy this great game and community as much as I have
enjoyed managing it. Please feel free to continue to submit ideas on the Game
Suggestions board. I do hope to get back into the review mode and begin to post
ideas of when other items will be available. |
