Jim: Would you have any problems if I(and hopefully others) put this out on Facebook? I'd have no problem asking people to help support, "a developer I know."

What is this screen?

Kodos · 03-13-2014, 09:07 AM

Wins per season? Playoff results on bottom?

Ben E Lou · 03-13-2014, 09:10 AM

Team History-->Graph.

That's been there since release day.

The Team History Graph Screen shows a team's performance over the course of league history. The graph can handle up to 117 past seasons. Years run from left to right, ending with the current season once the Front Office Bowl has been played. The height of each bar is the number of wins that team had during the regular season. The bars extending below the win baseline indicate how far the team went in the playoffs. A long gold bar below the win baseline indicates the team won the Front Office Bowl.
This screen is accessed through the Team History Screen.

Jim has already put this out on Facebook himself, so I don't think he'd have a problem with anyone else doing it

So that's what that vertical bars bitmap is for.

Ramzavail · 03-13-2014, 09:34 AM

how do we get that snazzy background picture? I feel like I've been looking at Jim's desk for a decade.

That background picture was added in version 7.0a. 7.0b is the latest.

JPhillips · 03-13-2014, 10:28 AM

I just put this on Facebook. I'd imagine we'll reach hundreds or thousands more potential votes if we all do that.

Wouldn't this be better with the playoff bars stacked on top of the regular season bars? Then, the goal would be to have the perfect season bar (undefeated season, Super Bowl victory).

Yes!

The problem with that is that it obscures playoff vs. regular season success by lining things up so that a playoff win counts the same as a regular season win. 10 RS wins and 2 playoff wins is not the same as 12 regular season victories and a first round exit. The two-sided histogram shows that difference more easily. The way Jim has it, you can instantly see a variety of narratives conveyed by both shape and color. By stacking on one side of the graph, color becomes much more vital to the interpretation, which is suboptimal.
