Remodel the in-game presentation

pstrickert · 08-18-2016, 05:06 PM

The in-game presentation has not changed much since the widgets were first introduced. Suggestions for improvement:

1. being able to resize the widgets
2. being able to choose which stats are included in the display
3. highlight the batter-pitcher confrontation

a. larger photos
b. previous at-bat info
c. batter's historical (not just current season) stats vs. pitcher
d. power zone graphic
e. hit chart diagram
f. incoming pitch arc (like so many websites display)

4. simpler and cleaner layout (using multiple tabs so that the basic display is not overloaded with too much data)
5. weather (and wind direction) widgets with simple yet colorful graphics

How about something like this for webcast view... let the action continue pitch by pitch with a widget for sending signals during AB (take, swing away) and pause between batters in case of PH or other choices. To simulate being a manager in the dugout watching the game.

Great ideas! Widget resizing is a MUST - it's hard to get the screen configured properly, especially in 3D mode (which I play exclusively now that we have a plethora of gorgeous historical 3D stadium models to use for historical season replays)...

And the prior at-bat(s) would add a TON to the feel of the game. Would love to see something like...

"... here's Reggie Jackson... he struck out his last time up, grounded into a double play in the first and homered to right in the fourth...."
