Website Suggestions: My Teams Live Scoring Dashboard & Others

Post by Sandman62 » Thu Sep 06, 2018 2:22 pm

After a couple pages of posts in this thread, I created a consolidated list:
https://od.lk/s/OThfMTI0OTY5MDFf/NFFC%2 ... tions.docx



I originally posted this in response to Darik in this FAAB thread, but then thought it might be better on its own:

As for the "dashboard", I wouldn't say baseball quite has that, but the My teams page does show your Roto points (yes, baseball) and how much you are either ahead or behind 1st place team.

Give me a good idea of what you'd like to see, and I'll try to get it put together.
Thanks for asking for some ideas, Darik. Hopefully you can offer something like this.

This is just a spreadsheet mock-up to convey some possible specs for a My Teams Live Scoring Dashboard - something to put a picture with some suggestions. Of course, it's up to your creative design team to do whatever they can, given the feasibility with their tech tools, time available, etc.

But here's an idea of what I think would be helpful. Again, I haven't seen what you have already for baseball. Also, others can feel free to add their thoughts, perhaps even based on some data they've seen on other sites, like Draft Kings, FanDuel, etc.

Thank you,
Mike

Notes:
  • Include expand/collapse buttons for Contest Type and Name (like you do in the new FAAB tool for Claim Lists).
  • Include reorder icons for Contest Type and Name (like you do on the current My Teams portal).
  • Include hyperlinks on all team names directly to Live Scoring for that league/team.
  • Include a button to toggle off/on extraneous Contest info (i.e. Price, Entrants) and League info (i.e. #); or just omit it.
  • Include an NFL scoreboard ticker at the top of the page.

Some good suggestions here, Mike. The biggest one for me would be the ability to reorder the teams to your liking. For owners of multiple teams, I think this would be a particularly useful feature.

Yeah, we appreciate any and all site improvement tips. We obviously are concentrating all of our efforts now on Live Scoring, roster management and the tools we all need this week. As our baseball guys will tell you, we are pretty quick at adding features where necessary once the season is started. We'll create a priority list and look at all of these suggestions during the week. Thanks all.

And good luck these next two days in your final drafts.

Thanks Greg. I certainly understand how busy you guys are this weekend. So I'm just queueing these ideas up.

Change Teams:

[9/12/18: I copied this one from my post in the FAAB thread.]
Any chance you can enhance the Change Team pulldown to include ALL teams? (And maybe move the All Teams choice up to the top?) The way it works now, you can get on a nice roll going through all your teams that are shown in the pulldown, simply switching to another one and you land right on the FAAB page of the newly-selected team. But if a team you want to work on isn't displayed (only 8 teams are) and you select All Teams, then you're back at your My Teams list, where you then have to select a team and then re-select Transactions/Free Agents. Showing all teams would save a few keystrokes for each team. Thanks.

Image

Can you please change the pulldown values in the FAAB Results to use the names we assigned to our teams instead of, or in addition to, league numbers? Ditto for anywhere else on the site that team names are displayed (i.e. Pending FAAB).
Image

Or maybe just use the same team list on the left that you did for Set Lineup? That's nice because it's one less click each time you change teams.
Image
  • Is it possible to use frames on the page shown above (and anywhere else you decide to provide the full team list on the left) so that the team list has its own scroll bar that doesn't also scroll the lineup and other info on the right?
  • It'd also be helpful if you could add collapse/expand, as well as reorder, buttons on any page you provide the full team list, like you did in the Free Agent Claim Lists.
Image

Thanks guys.

Some more suggestions:
  • Please add League/Team names to every page on the site. While some screens are more evident due to having a team pulldown at the top, many of the screens do not include a League/Team name title.
  • From the Set Lineup page, if you use the Change Team feature on the left (not the menu one at the top), then go to Draft, Draft Board, it opens the board for the team you started with from My Teams instead of the last one you selected on the Set Lineup page. (However, it does work properly if you go to other pages instead of going to Draft Board after changing teams on Set Lineup and also if you Change Teams using the menu bar at the top of the page.)
Thanks!

Live Scoring week selection: As we change from league to league while reviewing this past week's scores (using the League pulldown), can you please leave the Week pulldown value intact (once we select last week) instead of defaulting it back to the upcoming week? That way, we don't have to reselect last week every time we view another league. Thank you.

  • Similar to above: From Live Scoring, if you change the league using the pulldown, then try to go to Standings/League via the menu, it takes you to the Standings of the first league in your My Teams list instead of the league you just changed to (on the Live Scoring page).
Thanks!

The overall scoring is not right. It causes a lot more work when you have to check it every week now
THIS IS THE BUSINESS WE HAVE CHOSEN

League Standings:
Looks like maybe a math rounding error here? Teams are separated by .1, but show as tied rankings.

Set Lineup:
I don't recall for sure, but didn't this page used to also show Points Per Game and Last Week's Points next to each of our players? That'd be very helpful. Thanks.
