Add play by play simulator feature Topic


Instead of initially going to the team office page when you log in for a world you have the option to view the last game in a play by play simulator mode. Even if the graphics weren't great it would be cool to be able to watch the game play by play as it happens simulating each play from the play by play stats. Friends could get together and "watch" the game against each other as it is simulated and root for their teams.

FYI, if you use the 'Game Results' link from the WIS locker page, it points to http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/Schedule/MyTeams.aspx, you are taken to a page with a list of you games without the results with links to the PBP and boxscore.  So you can read the PBP without knowing the outcome.

Thanks hannibal that's pretty cool, sadly I never noticed that feature before.  So I guess my suggestion would just be to jazz it up a bit and give it more of a user friendly simulation feel so you can feel like you are watching the game. :)

O thats what you meant:) I thought you meant you wanted like a 3D way of viewing the game or something like that lol!:)

I'm all for an improved experience with the BPB.  Something like a live boxscore that ESPN has for real games, with a button for stepping through the lines would be great.

Took me a while to discover the Game Results link as well, they ought to make more of an effort to tell new users about it.

+1.   Been hoping for something like this for years.  Most owners I know read through the play by play nightly (or morningly) before knowing the results.  It would be nice to amp up this experience.  And what hannibal has described would be great.  Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe some stratomatic baseball leagues have a simple play by play viewer like this.  You tap a button to get the next play to show up, with an updated boxscore below.  It's sad (or awesome) but I often keep a scrap paper to keep track of fouls, key stats, and who's in the game while I read through the game with the current system.
