New Match Report Format
 

Go check out one of your club's matches. It looks like they've altered the format of the match reports somewhat (for the better, if you ask me).

cant get on till after school...what kind of changes took place?

I was just about to post that, DK. One thing though, it doesn't have whether your team played at Normal, PIC, or MOTS.

mine shows what i played as (as far as normal, pic, mots). the only difference i see is the highlights section that shows who scored.

Indeed, they have added a highlight section in the upper right corner. Looks pretty good IMHO.

yeah, i like it. i just wish they considered getting carded and injured a highlight :) would be nice to easily see those as well. but hey, i cant complain.

Ok, mine has the team attitude now, when I looked earlier it didn't even have the green HT bars and it took FOREVER to load, so they must have been implementing it.

Uh oh, this will throw a kink into FM's ratings, won't it?

looks to me like it would still work.

Yeah, it will.

Shouldn't. It still has the ratings we can copy-and-paste from.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAa!!!!


Hey saintjo, they just added the cards you were wishing for!!!!!!!


Awesome!

DOUBLE WHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA!!! It now has the minutes everything happened!!!

WOOHOO!!!!! Now if I just some good training pops tonight, this will be the greatest hattrick day ever! ;)

Only thing left I wish it did was injuries.

The changes you are seeing are requests by developers. I am involved in creation of a CHPP program, and I have seen these requests fly in the CHPP forum.

Soo, it looks like the HT-devs are listening

Actually this is great for me. Whenever I acquire a new player (which isn't as often as lot of you, I know) I like to look back into their match history and collect some statistics, things like number of games played and bookings/suspensions. This saves me from having to skim through every single match report.

DK like! :D

I just tested it with my NSI calculator, which uses the same parsing logic as my ratings sheet and it does work. Will be a much bigger pain in the butt to go retrieve the ratings and copy them straight in an excel sheet though, as I used to start highlighting in the middle of the team's name and it would select from the start by itself. Now, I can't do that because the team is a HTTP link and I can't select from the line above, because this screws up the parser. However, ratings copied to a text file, or a thread in here for that matter, could have the extra line and I'd only copy straight from the team name and omit the extra line...

Okay, now I'm rambling... :)

Changes are very good though, lot's more information without looking through all the match report...

FM

Like the changes, like that the powers are responding to suggestions

looks pretty sweet

Now they've added tactic and formation expertise. But the expertise is where you ended the match, not what it was going in. For your opponent, the label tactic is wrong--its attitude.

I really like the change...hopefully it doesn't throw FrogMan's Parser in to seizures...

So, maybe it's just this cold medicine or the painkillers making me silly...do I need to do anything different to use FM's ratings thingie?

You mean calculate your NSI? No, it's exactly the same. But it's not going to be the same to just copy that set of ratings into, say, an FOFC thread, because the tactics and strategy lines are in there. So FrogMan's parser (tool that reads information by itself) might not like it.

Vince, unless it changed since this afternoon (can't check right now since HT is down for about another hour), everything will be fine as long as you only start the copy/paste with the team name and stop right after the last ratings...

FM

FM - they added a few lines between the team name and the start of the ratings. You will probably just have to have your parser ignore a few additional lines. I believe they were for the tactic and attitude.

hrm, I'll have to check it out then... This afternoon, there were no line between the team name, the hyperlink right under it, and the ratings...

Yeah, simply adding useless lines in my parser should do the trick if it's as you say. I'll have a look at it...

They're now saying 1:45 HT time...

FM

From my favorite game ever (my third one) e.g.
CC FC
Player rating and Team formation
Team Attitude: Normal
Tactic: Pressing
Midfield: poor
Right Side Defence: weak
Central Defence: inadequate
Left Side Defence: poor
Right Side Attack: poor
Central Attack: weak
Left Side Attack: poor
Tactic skill: poor


Maniacal Misfitz
Player rating and Team formation
Tactic: Normal
Midfield: poor
Right Side Defence: passable
Central Defence: solid
Left Side Defence: solid
Right Side Attack: excellent
Central Attack: solid
Left Side Attack: passable

I like this change. It is sweet... Heck, now you can see what your opponents did in terms of tactics easily.

I also like the scoring and cards report:

1 - 0 Mark Möllerén (10)
2 - 0 Daryl Brantley (18)
3 - 0 Jeffrey Wheatley (33)
3 - 1 Martin Devátý (39)
3 - 2 Naftali ben Aharon (41)
3 - 3 Emanuel Miller (58)
4 - 3 Doru Manole (70)
5 - 3 Clarence Alvarado (75)
5 - 4 Istvan Strobl (77)
5 - 5 Martin Devátý (82)

(yc) Benton Minter (26)
(rc) Jeffrey Wheatley (40)
(yc) Istvan Strobl (69)
(yc) Sören Fjälling (77)
(rc) Sören Fjälling (82)
