Recap Story

Post by Ksagrera » Wed Mar 27, 2013 11:24 am

Another product has an option for Recap Story which basically writes a newspaper article about the game you just played using stats from the game. Is this an enhancement that is possible?

We do not have an option for recaps. We have contacted the company that actually generates those recaps (Narrative Science), and they have said they will provide an API at some point to allow generation of stories. When they release that API, we will offer it to iScore users. You can try contacting them on their support page at http://narrativescience.com/contact/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and ask when they plan to open up the service to iScore users.

When we have asked, they want us to commit to a minimum $ amount, and that is not something we can do. We have no idea what people are willing to pay, and we don't want to get into the model that other companies have where they charge for viewers to watch their kids play ball.

I would also love to see this option!
Also maybe a more fun background for younger teams. And the ability to let runners advanced automatically like when a batter hits a single, the runner on 1st would auto go to 2nd.

Runners are pushed to the next base by default on a single, you would just have to tap held up. We do not "automatically register" it without you having to press held up because many times the runner will advance more than one base on a single, or any number of other things could happen, so you have to let iScore know what actually took place.
