Hey GMs,

If any of you are interested in trying out our incoming depth charts tool, let me know here and I will send you an invite!

Where we are really interested in feedback is the time-on-ice analysis method.

Also, like last time, I will be using the infraction system to send you the invite, so don't get alarmed when the popup comes.

Sure, I'd be down to try it.

Hit me up as well please.

Sounds cool, I'll try it out.

Pick me! Pick me!

Please

I would love a chance to test it!

Thanks in advance you guys!

I'll try it

Can I try, I promise to use it this time unlike the vegas draft

I'd love to give it a look. Thanks!

I too would like to look it over.
Thank you for offering us the opportunity.

Thanks all, let us know what you think, especially regarding the TOI analysis section, we're looking for feedback!

Montreal:
Analysis shows Line 2 as having higher average ice time together, but the players on Line 3 have a higher individual sum of ice time.
It's not that it is "wrong", but it differs from the depth projection and from IRL, and "looks" wrong based on the numbers shown to the user.
Line 2: AVG 12:07 / 15:42 + 14:19 + 15:13
Line 3: AVG 10:43 / 15:27 + 16:16 + 16:02

If you want to keep it simple for casual viewers, I'd probably remove the individual TOI and/or the numbering of the lines. If you want a more in depth view, I'd suggest additional information to account for the differences (individual percentage of ice time spent with those linemates, number of shifts, separate tab for line/individual numbers, etc). Pittsburgh shows Crosby as "Line 3". That's going to either look inaccurate or require some sort of explanation if it's presented that way.
If the goal is to show "depth", you could maintain the order from the roster projection and/or forego the numbering of the lines, in the analysis section. Since the top 2 lines generally have players on special teams or taking extra shifts with different linemates, ordering by the amount of time they spend with their actual linemates can skew the ordering of the lines.
------

I'm trying to decide if the GP/G/A/P out of games has any merit to displaying. If the point is to order players/lines by usage, only their games with their current team matter, and I feel like that's evident enough that it doesn't need to be included for the viewer. It might be a better use of that space to show ice time breakdowns for individual players, AVG TOI, # of Shifts, PPTOI, SHTOI, perhaps even a rolling average to show if their usage is trending up or down.
------

I've only gone through a couple of teams so far, so I'll check some more and try to go through them all eventually and let you know if there's anything else.
What's the update frequency on the stats? I'll take a look before/during/after as well if it's live or updates at a decent hour.

I'd be down to try it out if it's still available. Obrigado.

I’m in

This is excellent feedback, exactly what we are looking for, thank you for the detailed response.

Stats will be updated daily is the current plan

hmu Banks. I'm free next week to give a review

I'd like a crack at this too, please.

Thanks for the info on more of what CapFriendly is up to! Keep it up!

Yeah I'd definitely like to try this out

Like Rico stated, the lines either need to be in order (Matthews is shown on the 3rd line but is played on the 1st/2nd) or explained why they are sorted that way (ie. TOI, etc.). As well as identifying who the actual center is for each line for the casual viewer or for someone that doesn't follow a team regularly to know who takes more shifts at center. For example, the positions of each player are stated but they are in different order. On the 1st line as shown, Tavares plays C and is at the top with beneath him being Marner and Hyman. On the 2nd line you have Marleau at the top (who mostly plays wing) with beneath him are Kapanen and Kadri (the actual C), etc. I haven't checked out if its the same for other teams but it would cause less confusion for a nonfollower imo.

A side note - the scoreboard only shows the winning teams score (4 TOR - TBL). Not sure if those were your intentions but I was a bit confused by that at first haha.

@Banks

The order of the players is listed by their TOI, but agreed being more explicit on positions would definitely be beneficial.

The score issue was a bug and is now fixed ?

Thanks for the feedback!
