News if you use nflseedR!
Sebastian@mrcaseb

Last year, I started replacing the NFL standings calculation in @nflseedR with high efficient code in data.table. The implementation of tiebreakers has caused a few headaches and my plan was actually to write the season simulation in data.table as well, but the development came to a stagnation. That's why I decided to merge the standings code into the nflseedR dev branch today. It is designed to manage thousands of seasons with one call. The performance boost is brutal! Calculating standings (incl. all tiebreakers) of 10k seasons used to take almost 3 minutes on my laptop. Now, it's less than 30 seconds! data.table rewrite of the season simulation has no eta, but it will come. Check out the new standings function here nflseedr.com/reference/nfl_…

A happy offseason update: with thanks to @ASchatzNFL and FTN Fantasy (ftnfantasy.com/dvoa/nfl), we now have scrambles marked going back to the 1999 season! This is now reflected in nflfastR/nflreadr

This year's data had three major problems: 1. wrong posteam on kick offs 2. wrong posteam on PATs after a defensive td 3. additional timeouts All with a massive effect on downstream variables and models. And all fixed now! nflreadr::load_pbp(2023) will return the fixed data
Sebastian@mrcaseb

Update on the nflfastR pbp data: It's up and running, so that's good news. However, at the moment it looks like some things have changed in the underlying data that break some of our logic. 1/2

If you depend directly on nflfastR, e.g. because you use update_db(), then please install the current developer version with if (!require("pak")) install.packages("pak") pak::pak("nflverse/nflfastR") Make sure you have installed v4.5.1.9010 !

It has almost become a tradition that we face problems in nflfastR the first game of the season. And like every year, we solve the problems quickly! Play-by-play data from the season opener is now available! Preferably run nflreadr::load_pbp(2023) to load the data. Enjoy!

Fairly certain that changes to the NFL website will break the package (i.e., not allow it to find games / make anything available) in the short term. One season we will get to have a week 1 with no issues...

New data source! Thanks to @FTNNetwork, we now have a public source for play-by-play information for 2022+ on play action, RPO, drops, motion, and a lot more. Data dictionary here: nflreadr.nflverse.com/articles/dicti… To use this, update nflreadr and use nflreadr::load_ftn_charting(2022)

Okay, we think all the issues in play-by-play have been ironed out and it should be safe to use. If you find any more issues, please let us know in the discord.

FYI: Looks like the @nflfastR scraper isn't working (NFL re-did their site, maybe?). Will look into it tomorrow but there probably won't be data quite yet

Did some re-writing of the nflfastR Beginner's Guide (TM) to incorporate new packages like nflreadr and nflplotR, the latter which makes some things easier (especially plotting team logos). If you've never tried out R, there's no time like the present! nflfastr.com/articles/begin…

A popular way to present NFL analyses are faceted plots in #rstats ggplot2. By default NFL team abbreviations are sorted alphabetically by ggplot2. But what if we want to sort by team nickname and/or division (or other variables)? nflplotR can help nflplotr.nflverse.com/reference/nfl_…
