For those who know ez37 in Wilkinson and Heisman worlds, I am his son and we coach together.
I've had some time on my hands lately and decided to build another helper app for GD.
You may access the app at
https://gdanalyst.herokuapp.com
Brief synopsis of the main features:
- Maps all schools in a World+Division showing human and Sim coaches on a map view.
- Maps a chosen school with distance away from all human coaches and map of all human coaches in that World+Division.
- Enter a recruit ID and it will map the recruit showing distance to other human coached teams in that world+division.
- From a school you can view game results based on the school's schedule. When you click on a single game, it will analyze the play by play to produce output that is somewhat similar to what Yatzr's Game Analyzer tool does, except it does it all within your web browser so it will run just about anywhere. There are also buttons to grab ALL games or just games against HUMAN opponents (Note that each game takes 3-4 seconds to analyze so be prepared to wait 30-60+ seconds if there are many games to analyze). The table view can be customized. You can reorder and hide/show columns. You can multi-sort columns. You can filter columns using the filter options at the top. You can export the data into Excel or CSV format.
Few additional comments:
- At the moment, coaching changes are updated every day around ~5am EST.
- Locations of schools and recruits are not guaranteed to match exactly what GD is reporting, so just be mindful of that. In most cases it should be very close, but I have come across a few instances where it is not.
- The game analysis is best-effort and also not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Some folks in Wilkinson have been beta testing for a week or two now and I haven't seen any major complaints (yet). It does not capture any results from the kicking game (punting, FGs, kickoffs, returns), and for plays involving a Penalty it will mark the play as a Penalty, but it won't process the resulting yards gained/lost from the play.
Hope you like it!
