So....is there any plans for a way to break down the game results by play type and/or down? Is this something that someone could make a grease monkey script for? It could be a supporter feature as well. Otherwise I find myself going through the game play by play to see how the team did in each situation so I know if my settings are working well. Does that make sense? If you have played GLB then it is like the scout tool they have.

It seems both the -TOG-stats and GLB Scout are GM-Scripts...

I don't like to support those scripts yet, because there will be some major changes on the layout, and then those scripts are not working anymore, likely.

Having such things as a supporters is in my opinion a real advantage, so a no for this.

However, I could implement it for all. But then I would like to have your input on what kind of data should be available there.

I think the user friendly way would be a data sorting tool where you could enter the down and or formation like in the playbook tester. Instead of checking for holes in the playbook the sorter would give aggregate data in a game of those situations. Such as total yards, yards per play, and possibly if there was a sack. It doesn't need to be super detailed as the options for plays are more generic than say GLB but more than -TOG- Not to be a butt kisser, but I really like how you added the level of strategy that isn't in -TOG-but didn't make it super complicated like in GLB. It is a very nice balance.

Make sense?

It would be nice to have it available to everyone, BUT I don't think it is anymore an advantage than having notes on the draft board. It doesn't help in the game situation, it just saves the manager time in collecting data. It can be done manually in a matter of 45 minutes ish.
