-
Added a new Team Power Rankings report.

Man, the moderators of the MLB The Show reddit are just brutal. They just keep deleting my posts where I try and share this completely free app with other players.
It would be nice if they gave a reason for it because from what I could see I am not violating any rules.
If they continue to delete your post, maybe you should try to create a discord server, to share the news and updates there.

I have done more updates. As a reminder, anyone can try it here.
https://the-show-scout-918757871828.us-west1.run.app/
The app is now 8,845 lines of code and has 50 built in reports grouped into 8 categories.
I removed the supercharge code. It just was not working well and the Dynamic nature of supercharges was causing problems.
I had the AI rework the logic in its Squad building hopefully improving the theme teams for every team
I added 6 new reports for Captains. I really like my captains report for teams

@Dolenz_PSN is there a version to download to my phone so I don't have to keep coming here or no? It doesn't matter either way

Not currently. It's just easier to deploy it on Google's platform.
Is it even useable on a phone? It was designed on a 1080p monitor. maybe the AI mode it scalable but I don't know.
I love the app and it has been fun to build. I use it a lot when browsing the forums but nobody else has used it much.
-
New update - based on numbers nobody else is using this but I still feel the need to announce new features anyway
The ability to compare two players side by side (EDIT: I fixed the comparison showing the BLK attribute for all players)
-
New report I just finished implementing. I was getting tired of trying to figure out how much Ozzie would cost me so I created a report to get the estimated cost for the cards in a series that are purchasable on the market.
The report lists the cards and you check the ones you have or don't need (In my case since I am going for Ozzie and not Hank so I selected the 5 most expensive as I should not need those). The report will update the Buy Now and Sell Now values on the fly. So here is where I stand with Ozzie (well, after I finish the actual programs)
The Default value if you were starting from scratch and wanting all of them is 944K Buy Now and 690K Sell Now. That is kind of a ridiculous total. Hopefully I can cut my cost more with packs earned in the programs themselves.

Google has changed the way they do things apparently which changed the links to the two apps. So the most updated versions (with the Card Comparisons and the new Card Series cost estimator) are at the links below.
The Show Scout - The Main Program
The Show Scout: The Vault - The app to look at and compare cards from The Show 21 - The Show 24

Is this going to be on the apple App Store soon?

No. It is just me playing around with AI programming tools. It started out simple and I just kept making it more and more complex. It was never intended to be put on a storefront
You should be able to use it in a web browser right now. I am not sure how well it would work on a phone screen as it was designed on a PC and 1089p monitors

I’ll download this as soon as I get home today! This sounds amazing. I also concur, SDS please offer this man a position on the team.

Nothing to download since it is web application. The only thing done locally is saving the current JSON file so you don't need to sit through the fetch every time you use it

So, while I watched social media and interacted with folks on the board this afternoon I also worked on my app.
When I was looking stuff up I would have the app open in one tab and Baseball Statistics or Fangraphs in another.
So I decided to see if I could bring in the current years stats for any player still in the league. Turns out there is a free api for that so now when I look at a players details page I can call up their Season Stats
Then I thought, "man it would be nice to see how one player stacked up against another", so I decided to see if I could implement a stat comparison. I may still change this screen but I like that it is kind of compact
I am waiting to see what the Captain Blizzard drops are about to see if I should try and expand my captains reports.
-
And man, I hope I can adapt this for MLB The Show 26 fairly easily.
-
Looks like it is down. Hope to check it out when it is back up.

I appreciate you attempting to give it a look.
It is back to private at this time. I was apparently operating on a Google Cloud 3 month trial. I may sign up so that I can make it public again. The app should not cost me any money as it does not use any AI functions and does not see enough use to use up the free monthly credits.
Then if I can keep it working next year I may look at other alternatives to host it. If I make it public again I will post it here and message you as the links will probably change.
I am kinda waiting to see the next drop to decide if I want to try and come up with some more Captain reports.
-
@Dolenz_PSN Like I have said before I appreciate what you are doing and always interested in what you come up with. If you cannot get host it free on Google Cloud, I may be able to help you host it for free.

Thanks for the offer. I am already, as I have a tendency to do, redesigning the two must recent screens to spruce them up and look a little nicer.
It is one of the reasons I really like deploying it on Google because it is really easy to do when I go through spurts where I update it multiple times a day or during the week. As I understand it if I have to host it elsewhere there will need to be changes to the code which would then make making changes and testing more difficult.

All I have to say this morning working more on the stats screens is
Curse the players whose names are not entered exactly the same between cards and curse the fact that there are two Max Muncys in the league.
-
Spent a chunk of last night and about 4 hours this morning trying to iron out issues and make a more pleasing layout for the new screens. I might redeploy it for all to try but am waiting to see what Captain Blizzard Program is about and whether my plans for new captain reports is worthwhile.
Added an info section to the stats screen with the live series picture and some info (including other card versions)
And made a whole new layout for stat comparisons. The guy on the right got a finest card. The guy on the left did not.
