if they are rolling out changes to the engine soon, here are two non-engine stat improvements that analytically should be easy, but would enhance the game

1. make available conference stats - another table under the stat tab - stats for conference games only - just like in real life, would be cool to see how teams compare in the more balanced environment of conf games

2. create a tab that re-expresses stats as per 40 mins in addition to the per game stats - more useful for looking at certain stats - like say turnovers, steals, blocks.....

this is just display and arithmetic, no engine changes needed and these would useful and amusing data....

I woudl love if the "Points in the paint' and such were availiable as season stats. .

I like those additions. I'd also like to see single-game records, but that might take a little more work.

great ideas, mm, really nice. maybe they will do it someday? we can hope.

along the same lines, i wish the conf awards were based on conf games only.

I doubt we will see those things in this next update (the one currently being tested) but they are good ideas.

I agree. Especially the per 40 minutes one. It's easy enough to do in a spreadsheet but having it already there would be even better.

I don't know how informative, strictly, it woudl be, but it woudl be interesting to see player by player 'second chance points' - see which players get the most fast break points. . .I woudl find that very interesting.

I would Love to see a Shot Chart.

When the National Tournament seedings are announced, I would like to see the number of times each team as been to the tournament. It would be interesting to see which teams have made it for the first time, and which teams have made it for the 40th time.

Really good ideas

Agreed, it would be sick if they did some kind of thing for the teams, even if it was only D1.

For example

4 Seed- Michigan State- MSU is led by their junior SG Tyrone Fowler, who is averaging 11 ppg. The Spartans were 22-7 on the season. This is their 6th trip to the dance and 4th under coach tmacfan12.
