5/19 UPDATE:

Hello everyone,
Here is an update to the roadmap for development. I know not every game isn't mentioned here and while that can be frustrating please trust and know that we're working on how we want things to look once the core rewrite is finished. Every game has issues, we acknowledge this and we know everyone would prefer that their game of choice get updated ASAP and we want to get those changes out for the community as quickly and efficiently as we can. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to work on improving the site and the various games across the platform.

Core Update: Now~August

This site coding update is progressing well. The devs are working on the backend piece and have started working on the front end/ UI development.

SimEngine: July~August

We are still looking to work this in once the core update is completed.

Hardball Dynasty Ballparks: June

The new ballparks will add new franchises and options to the game. This update is ready to bring out.

SimLeague Basketball: June

"State Farm" issue to be adjusted to help make the assist issue within the game be more realistic and is ready to bring out.

For the items that are ready to bring out, we are looking for a good opportunity to push the updates to the site and for SLBB, users wanted some warning when these changes were coming so they could alter how they drafted their teams. Also for HBD it was requested that some warning was provided before the ballpark update is pushed.

I have created an additional thread in the (Whatifsports---Critical News) forums to house user questions.

8/10 Update:

Hello everyone, just a quick update to this.

The Hardball Dynasty ballparks and new franchises went live in July. SimLeague basketball also got an update to the engine this summer, correcting a long standing issue with how assists factored into player and team success.

The core rewrite is progressing well and we hope to release that this fall. Once we get the core rewrite released, the plan is still to begin working on the Sim Engine for the SimLeagues which will likely start with SimLeague Baseball.

11/09 Update:

Hello everyone,

An update just to let you know where things currently sit. As we indicated we'd hoped to be about done with the core rewrite of the site and unfortunately due to circumstances within SportsHub things haven't gone at quite the rate we'd like. The devs have been asked to devote a lot of their time and pitch in on other things within the company while continuing to work within WIS when possible. We have just hired two new staff members to the SportsHub team which should hopefully allow our two devs to be able to focus more of their time and efforts into whatifsports.

We appreciate all of you and your loyalty and understanding while we try to better this site and product for everyone!

5/09/23 Update:

Hello everyone,

An update is due as it's been 6 months again. The site has shifted towards a path of producing consistent updates across the games. We are hoping to get a cadance of updates going every 1-2 weeks and addressing major issues or glitches within each game. We will try to be as transparent as possible with these updates before/as they go live. These features below have recently been updated and gone out to the site (today).

• ALL SIMLEAGUES - No longer able to enter a 2nd team into public open leagues in any simleague game
• SLB - Ohtani update for SLB. The player now has pitcher and position player versions in the database (previously released)
• HBD -Draft settings now displays a warning about adjusting prospect rankings based on draft settings changes. You are able to accept or reject the adjustment of your manually set player rankings if you alter your draft settings
• HD - Issue in RS 2 where limits are not reset for prior actions on a recruit (HV, CV). If you take over a new team during the season prior to recruiting period 2, any prior home visits or campus visits sent to a recruit are cleared and you are able to fully recruit the player.
• HD - When you reserve a team you are now able to see the team in the locker/home page for the world.

There have been some additional CS tools added/fixed to allow us to more effectively assist users with repeated and frequent issues.

UPCOMING:

• HBD - arb/long term contract loophole issue
• HBD - advanced email alerts generated for key events in the season.
• HD - Issue where 2 games a day worlds receive "tough loss" email prior to PIT final being played.
• GD - updating player ratings to more accurately reflect player rankings/team recruiting class rankings.

7/18/23 Update:

Hello everyone,

Here is some information regarding recent updates.

• GD - Implementation of GUESS ratings into recruits ratings. Added in fields that display a player's ratings at the different archetypes for each of the positions.
• GD - Added a top recruits page that will display the top recruits at each position other than K and P based on their archetypes.
• GD - Added a user team map to the "Jobs" page showing the amount of user competition across the worlds for each division. This can assist with changing jobs and allow users to make informed decisions when applying to jobs.
• HBD - Closed a loophole involving long-term contracts
