Watching matches live is a great experience in BB, but sometimes, a match is missed and watching a replay is the way to go. While our match viewer has the ability to skip to a certain point in the match, the option is pretty limited and requires typing, clicking and reloading, which can be cumbersome and time consuming. To improve the experience of watching replays, we've added a speed control slider which can speed up the match up to 5 times normal speed! Skim over timeouts or other slow bits and get to the good stuff faster, and then slow back down when you reach the exciting bits.
Additionally, a "Skip" button is available during game breaks between quarters and during the halftime break. Clicking the button skips over the break and you're right back in action.
Obviously, these two options are only available for replays and not live games, but we're certain they will improve the experience of watching replays immensely, especially as they require no reloads.
There are a couple of other smaller improvements added to the site, unrelated to the match viewer. The transfer list search has been expanded with two new options - injury and NT status. Injured players can be both excluded or searched specifically, while finding NT members is now a breeze. And lastly, the league overview page now shows bot teams in gray, for easier identification of your tougher, human controlled competition.
That's all for now, we're taking a little break with the features due to the offseason coming up soon and then we're back with a major update. Hope you enjoy our new features!
