Swoops v0.2.0 Release Notes

What’s new

More data

Swoops is a data puzzle game at its heart. We want to give our users more data to work with so that they can make the best decision when creating a lineup, purchasing a player, or selling a player. Our state of the art proprietary basketball simulator produces a mountain of data that we'll slowly expose over time, starting with players.

UI + UX improvements

We also want to make it easier to analyze a player or team holistically. Previously, different pieces of a player were on different pages. We're unifying this data to sit on the same page. We've also made it easier to filter players when creating a lineup. On the player page, we now show your player's stats below their skills. The perfect visual to screen grab and share your player's stat line via social.

Breakout view of a player. Old on the left, new on the right.
On the player page, we now show your player's stats below their skills.
You can now activate filters by clicking on the placeholder images up top. To ease confusion, all filters are now single select.
We've spruced up the email you receive after a game has completed.

What's next

A leaderboard! A place where you can see how you stack up against others. This will lay the groundwork to run a league wide tournament, which we'll share more about shortly...
