Version 2.2 of the website is here!

[joe the commissioner]

Version 2.0 of the site has been released! Click on ‘IFL Home’ up above to access it.
What’s new:

• Home Page
  • will now show who earned Player of the Week.
• Latest Sim Results:
  • self-explanatory
• Rosters
  • Two views here: Profile and Tabular. Click the radio button on the right side to toggle between the two.
    • Tabular View is your typical Excel-style table with sortable columns. This will allow you to quickly compare players across different teams.
    • Profile View shows you a player’s card which includes his profile picture. With the help of Chat GPT, I’ve been cranking out 8-bit style images with the hope of randomly assigning every player his own unique picture. I had to do these one by one, and around the 800^th picture or so, things started to get a little… weird. So, if you truly hate a picture you were assigned, I can give you a different one. But I don’t want to make this a habit and will only do it in extreme circumstances.
      • I was hoping to have every player done before I released 2.0, but Chat GPT’s processing speed and monthly limit has thwarted those plans. So as of right now, roughly 50% of rostered players have a picture. I’ll be slowly adding more every week so check back often.
• Player Stats
  • Every player is clickable and will direct you to his player card.
  • Rather than choosing between Regular Season and Playoff stats, I’ve provided the option to combine the two.
  • Stats include most everything that’s already in the game and a few more that aren’t. Those that aren’t in the game are:
    • Defense
      • Snuffs: you know in the game-log when it says something to the effect of “Player A made the tackle. Player B was there to break up the play.”? I hereby decree that Player B shall be credited with a snuff.
        • Tackle % has been adjusted to include snuffs.
      • Sack %: equal to sacks divided by pass-plays
    • Pass Coverage
      • Pass Defense Percentage has been converted to a Pass Defense Rating. Really, the only difference is that unlike the game’s percentage, the rating doesn’t have a floor of 0 and a ceiling of 100. Big thanks to Mellman for providing the formula.
    • +/- and Penalties
      • I make no distinction between accepted and declined penalties.
    • Misc
      • Hall of Fame Points earned this season.

• Team Stats
  • Things available here that are not featured in the game are:
    • Overall
      • The rank is in parentheses. No more manually counting rows in the game.
    • Passing
      • YAC/Game (if the Offense option is selected) and YAC/Game allowed (if the Defense option is selected)
    • Line Play
      • The game counts scrambles as run plays. In my opinion, these should count as pass plays so I’ve included them in the Dropbacks category.
    • Blitzing
      • This is inspired by Boots’ post last season although my methodology is slightly different. Whereas Boots had blitzes versus all hurries/sacks/interceptions, mine has hurries/sacks/ interceptions for blitz plays only.
        • If Offense is selected, you are facing the blitz and the percentages are your opponent’s success against you. If Defense is selected, you are the blitzer and the percentage is your success rate
        • Again, Dropbacks includes scrambles.
    • Special Teams
      • Shows percentage of fumbles lost if Offense is selected and the percentage recovered if Defense is selected.
      • Interception Rate: equal to interceptions divided by pass attempts
    • 3^rd/4^th Down
      • Shows your conversion rate for the various distances
        • Hover your mouse over any bar to see conversions and attempts.
        • Plays with a penalty, whether they were accepted or declined, are not included.
          • Should probably include declined penalties now that I think about it.
    • Misc.
      • Average Time of Possession if Offense is selected. Average time your opponent has the ball (Average Time of Unpossession?) if Defense is selected.
• Transactions
  • Every player is clickable and will direct you to his player card.
  • Added a filter for Player/Coach/Pick
• Salaries
  • Every player is clickable and will direct you to his player card.
• Chemistry
  • Every player is clickable and will direct you to his player card.
  • Added Career Starts to the table
• Rookie Report
  • Every player is clickable and will direct you to his player card.

Questions? Comments? Annoyed that the picture of your 3rd string RB shows him wearing a stupid hat? Please let me know.

I'm glad to see ChatGPT picked up on my Wyatt Earp/Wild West-themed nickname. Well done!

By the way Boots, until I heard you clarify in one of the youtube videos, I thought Dreadlock Holliday was a rastafarian spin-off of Doc Holliday lol.

Joe, when viewing a the players' ratings bars on the league site, I notice some bars are faded in color. I'm guessing this eludes to ratings bars that have not reached their full potential yet. Can you confirm that my thinking is correct?

All ratings are the player's future rating, and the color gradient is based on the scale 0-100. It has nothing do with current ratings or potential. Aside from overall, current ratings aren't part of this game's exported csv files. So unless I share my personal scout's ratings -- and I don't think I want to -- I won't be able to add this to the dashboard.

Gotcha. Thanks Joe. Much appreciated.

Releasing 2.1 today.

What's new:

- Home page now has three options you can toggle between
1) Alerts. In case no one checks the forum or Discord, I'll also post important updates here.
2) Player of the Week. This is the same as before
3) Season Awards. Shows the MVP, OPOY, All-Pro teams, etc. This is really just an excuse to post the silly player pictures I made.

- Team Stats in the Passing section now has Drop Percentage, defined as Drops / Pass Attempts. If offense is selected, you are the dropper. If defense is selected, it's players dropping balls against you.

[joe the commissioner]

One more update for v. 2.2 before I leave this alone.

-- Added an Injuries radio button on the Rosters page. (Fun fact: in the csv files, Jim codes an Unknown injury duration as 666 weeks.)
-- Redid the 3rd/4th down portion of Team Stats. It's a now a sortable table. Added league averages so you can now compare yourself. The code now will include conversions on plays with declined penalties.
