Let the new season begin! Week 1 is simmed. Depth charts are unlocked for week 2 changes.

Hi. Will players suspended for 1 week only revert back to active automatically?

Yes, that should be updated now.

Cool addition of "featured match up"!

Thanks. Hoping to add a little new polish each year. There are a couple more things that may pop up as time allows that I may finish that were started in the off-season or planned. Just FYI if people are wondering about that or if they see the featured matchup change throughout the course of the week, this is how that's automatically chosen right now:

As it's listing out the upcoming week's games on the league homepage, it totals up the wins of both teams for each game as well as their combined grades for the OL/WR/F7/SEC. It keeps track of what matchup has the most wins and the highest combined grades and features the game with the highest total. As injuries are assigned later in the week, that could adjust the grade totals and shift what game is featured if a different game has higher totals later.

This is a fun addition, and you may eventually be able to use some of the background for this to generate some generic text as well. You may even be able to generate previews of all matchups, with some variations of text that come up depending on how the grades line up.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks. Previews are kind of the hope there, as it would kind of explain what to expect from the sim game comparing grades and stats, etc. especially for newer players. The difficulty with that, though, is a true preview wouldn't be really valid for very long as injuries are updated usually Friday/Saturday and game stats on Tuesday, so much of the preview info would be not what it would be for the sim until those were added later right before actually simming. But may eventually get to some preview there, or perhaps moving some of that to the game result to explain some of the context for the result in a more user-friendly way ahead.

Where is the "featured matchup"? I'm sure I'm just missing it but I can't find it.

Nevermind, found it. I was looking on the scores page. Completely missed it on the homepage. I need more coffee.

Loving the 'featured matchup'. Would it be easy to add links to the rosters of the two teams?
