Step by step undo - please!

Post by mbcowan » Mon Mar 05, 2012 3:19 pm

PLEASE add a way to undo scoring of single plays one step at a time. I use it to score little league games which have lots of steals, errors, overthrows, etc., and very little time between batters. When I enter a long play sequence and make a mistake near the end of the sequence (e.g., batter advancing to third on the throw, when I meant to assign an error to someone instead), I have to cancel out and re-enter the whole play from the pitch location on. This takes precious extra seconds to do, it can be hard to remember the whole sequence, and invariably the next batter comes up quickly, swings at the first pitch, chaos ensues, and all of a sudden I am two plays behind and everything is screwed up.

If there were an undo button available after each scoring step, as well as an undo all or cancel button, it would make my life 1000 times easier!

I agree 110%? Most of the time I leave the error in the play by play for fear that I will get too far behind if I "try" to correct the error.

That's one option, but even writing a note can take too much time, and sometimes the mistake is something not so easily fixable after the fact just by editing the play by play. I am surprised this feature is not available - it is my biggest gripe with the app which I otherwise love.

I made this suggestion last season too....this is very badly needed!!!!! Nothing worse than being half way through a game and unable to recover because of one entry mis-step that you can't correct quick enough to continue scoring. Agreed, notes aren't enough especially if the mis-step impacts a score or out.

We have responded to this request before. It is on our enhancement list for future prioritization.

If you "shake" your device, it will abort current play entry on iOS, or press the back arrow on Android, and it will abort the current play entry as well. We do have Undo at certain points during play entry as well (such as when selecting the players that touched the ball).
