Blade, Cash

It'd be really helpful in the expanded matchup reports if you could "click into" the data. For instance, if the stat was Rockets are 5-1 ATS as a road favorite of 3.5-6.5 points, I'd like to be able to click and see who those games were against.

Thanks

In 2017 we are going to overhaul the matchup reports, I'll see if what you are proposing is possible once we start work. A lot of stuff is dependent on the raw data, if the feed doesn't provide who those games were against there wouldn't be the ability to add it.

The matchups have been a sore spot around here for a long time but making them over is a lot of work. And when we did it in the past people weren't happy with them and I'm not a big fan of wasting time and money. So it's a balancing act to try to keep stuff in there that people want, get rid of what might not be very useful and deliver them in a format that works well on computers, phones and tablets at the same time.

The problem is that when you ask people for feedback they don't give it to you but once you change something then we get two thousand emails telling me to go fuck myself and threatening my family.

A lot of stuff around here is a lose-lose proposition as you have maybe noticed.

Understood, thanks for the response. I've enjoyed the more recent overhaul on them. Just wanted to throw out a suggestion in case you guys are looking to make changes. Thanks for the time

Definitely looking to make changes but everything around here takes a long time to do. The new scores and matchups pages took almost a year and we still have to tweak them from time to time. We'll get started once the holidays are over and hope to get them done for Baseball season.

If you are interested in providing feedback let me know and I will include you on the process. That goes for anyone else as well. Leave me a post and let me know if you would like to participate in the makeover of the expanded matchups. I know some people use them a lot, I'd like to hear from those people.
