Funny Formations

I wish I was a funny guy. I mean, sometimes I think I am, but when I’m really not. It’s one of those things where I can make one-liners here and there but I can’t actually come up with something funny when asked to on the spot. I was trying to think of something clever to write that had to do with Formations. Maybe something like, Duck! Formations are coming! But, no, that isn’t really that funny.

Anyway, I’ve been getting some really good feedback from Users of the Playbook apps. It’s funny how the volume of email tends to increase with the criticality of bug. It’s great that there’s feedback and people telling me what’s wrong, but I’d also like to hear what’s right, what can be improved, and what would be nice if it could be added. (Thank you those of you who have sent me feature suggestions and thank you to everyone who will in the future!)

The latest feature I’ve been thinking of adding is Formations. With the current setup, the User needs to setup each new play manually. When the original PlaybookBball came out, this wasn’t so bad with a maximum of 10 players on the court at a time. But, as I’ve realized with PlaybookSoccer and PlaybookFootball, setting up 22 players can get really time consuming. In fact, in the lastest video I made for PlaybookFootball, I chose to use only 7 players per team for the play to cut down on some of the time you’d just be sitting there watching me move players around.

So, I’d like to add formation support for each sport, so that when you create a new play, you can select how you want your players set up and the app’ll set them accordingly. So, my question for you all out there is, what is your favorite and most used formation for your sport?
