HT SmartViewer

Introduction

Last Tuesday we submitted the all new HT-SmartViewer to the AppStore for review. It then takes about 7 days until an App gets approved and you can download it. That means there are only a few days left. To give you a preview of what to expect and why it's worth to checkout the new version of our Hattrick iPhone App we wrote a series of articles about the new features.

This is article number 4 and the last before the release. Below now some screenshots and infos about the new Stats screen.

New Features 4 - Match Stats

Since the beginning of this project we believed that stats are one of the most important information in Hattrick. They show you what you do good and what you can do better. Numbers don't lie. Therefore we always put a special focus on this part of the app. Of course we are not by far done here. And as usual we hope for your feedback. What kind of stats would you like to see in the next update of the HT-SmartViewer???

What you know from the Lite Version

We basically took all the stats features from the lite version into the full version. That is the regular match ratings for Midfield, Offence and Defense, the possession stats, HAT stats and spectator stats.

As you can see, we rearrange the stats into a paginated view. That should give all the stats enough space and makes them easier to read. Additionally we gave the possession stats a bar for better visualization of the numbers.

What's new?

Indirect Set Pieces, Team Tactic and Attitude

For the new release we added the things that were missing from the team ratings you are used to from the Hattrick homepage. That is the indirect set piece defence and attack skill, the selected team tactic and skill and last but not least the team attitude. Of course the later is hidden for any team but yours.

Match Spectators and Income

When ever you looked at the spectator stats when it wasn't your team in a home game in the old version of HTS (HT-SmartViewer) the values were n/a. It is understandable that Hattrick doesn't share these information with others than the team owner. To give you a rough estimate what your opponent has earned from your appearance at his arena we will now show an estimate of spectators distribution and income.

If you want to read about it in detail how the spectator/seat distribution is for games, based on fan attitude, weather etc. there is good article in the Hattrick Wiki (Stadium Expansion Theories). Based on this article we took an average value for each category.

Since most people use arena sizers and based on that have a similar seat distribution among terrace, basic seats, roof and vip, the estimate is mostly pretty close. For your own teams home game the numbers will still be exact. Income will of course be shown in your league's currency. Based on the match type you can also see how the match revenue is split among the contestants.

Player Ratings and Team Experience

The last new feature is the display of the players star rating for the game. For now we keep it simple. Maybe later we will display the players on a grid with there position. Additionally you get the accumulated player's star rating for the beginning and end of the game and the average team experience.

That is it for now. Once again, we look forward for your feedback and hope you enjoy the new HT-SmartViewer.
