The new and improved app The Show Scout
-
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.

Assumptions, they are most likely assuming you’ll turn it into a subscription app and they don’t want to seem like they’re promoting something they don’t control.

That would be my thought too but I tried to make it clear that it is now and will remain free. As a retired guy, getting some extra money would be great, but I am not sure there is enough polish in this app that I would ever even consider it as a possibility.

I would keep an eye on the usage and if there’s enough people hitting the app, instead of subscription, look at affiliate marketing or ads (within reason, no one wants to have to watch ads every 30 secs). There are tons of companies that will pay you a very small fee just for clicks, it adds up and could be a nice way to add a little $ for fun things.

Okay, based on some comments in another thread I got busy again
I have added a whole new Category of reports Eras and Immortals with the following reports
Best squad by decade is kind of flakey as many decades represented in the game don't have enough players to fill out squad.
Then every player in the game who is in the Hall Of Fame as a player has a indicator on their details screen beneath their picture. When you mouse over that Hall of fame indicator it pops up the induction information
-
New changes for the few that might be using this
- Added Supercharge info to the detail screens of Supercharged players
-
Changed the report selection screen as it was getting to cluttered. The new design also gives more detail on each report
-
Added a new Team Power Rankings report.

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.
