Team Record

[bmclaurin]

I saw this suggestion in the Basketball forum, but I'm hoping it can get implemented in the Baseball app as well. It would be very helpful if the Team List could include the won-loss records of each of the teams in the list.

I realize you can get this information on the Admin website, as well as the Team website (which I have). But it would be nice to have this in the app as well.

And to build on this point a little, it would also be helpful if the app let you designate a team as "your team," such that when you looked at the Team List, it would tell you "your team's" record versus each of the teams in the Team List. And the records shown would be based on whichever league(s) were checked as active in the League Manager at the time.

To build on this a little more, it would be especially helpful if, when you clicked on a particular team in the Team List (other than the one that is designated as "your team"), it would give you the option of showing you a game listing of just those games that made up the record that is being displayed. So, for example, assume you had a total of 4 teams in your Team List--A, B, C, and D--for the particular league(s) that are active at the time in your League Manager. Further, assume that you designated Team A as "your team," and that Team A had played a total of 12 games against Teams B, C, and D for the league(s) that are active at the time the League Manager. In that case, the Team List screen might look something like this:

Team A (shown in bold because it is designated as "your team")
Team B (3-1)
Team C (2-2)
Team D (1-3)

Then, if you click on Team B, for example, the Team Info screen would have the normal entries for Team Name, Short Name, Manager, etc., but it would add a new field at the bottom called "Games," or something like that. If you then click on "Games," it would give you a shortcut to a game listing of all 4 games for Team A versus Team B (again, for the league(s) that are active in the League Manager at the time).

The reason I'm suggesting this is because I get asked at every single tournament, right before practically every single game, "Haven't we played this team before?" "How did we do versus this particular team?" "When was that?" "What was the score?" "Who did we pitch against them the last time we played, and how did they do?" Having that information more quickly available, right at your fingertips like I'm suggesting, would be a superb feature IMO.

It does not seem that showing the team record really answers the questions you are asking for at the end of the post. Keep in mind that many people use iScore for more than just one team, so a single designation of "your team" would not apply in many cases.

We will add the requests at the end of the email (quicker ways to access information about games played against a particular team) to our enhancement list for future prioritization.

Thanks, FTM. As usual, I'm guilty of thinking that everyone uses iScore the same way I do, and what you point out regarding the fact that many users track more than one team (thus rendering a designation of "your team" inapplicable to many users) is noted. Still, seeing the won-loss records for each team in the Team List would be nice to have.

And definitely, a quick way to access information about games played against a particular opponent would be a tremendous help to me (and presumably others as well).
