Improvements for 2012 Fantasy F1 Game

Submitted by ff1 on 28 November, 2011 - 23:22

Here is my list of things I'd like to do for 2012. I don't expect to achieve it all, but with help from users, we could make some great progress:

  • Upgrade to Drupal 7
  • Add Facebook integration
  • Add discussion pages for each league
  • Improve reliability of auto updates
  • Any other suggestions...

Manage leagues

Submitted by The captain on 29 November, 2011 - 10:55.

It would be nice as a league owner to be able to manage the league. I run a league at work, and, for example, where people move on under a cloud, it would be good to be able to remove them from the league.

Team Limits

There should be a cap on the number of teams you can create. I think 8 to 10 should be the maximum. Many of us were less than enthused by Royspeed's 100+ teams.......

tie-breaker

I know its important to keep it simple, but it seems that there are lots of people with the same number of points at the end of the season, and too much emphasis is placed on a lucky guess at the end. Maybe there could be more ways of scoring points?

There should only be 1 team allowed. Period.

Reduce Importance of points gained from engines

Submitted by collie on 6 February, 2012 - 14:35.

Once again in 2011 we saw points gained by engines dominating how well a team does. It would be nice to reduce their importance further and take into consideration driver and/or team performance, if a driver or team received a penalty for example, this should be reflected somehow in FF1?
I'm already looking forward to the 2012 season especially with Pre-Season testing almost under way, any news as to when you'll start inviting entries Ian?

F1 Fantasy Game 212

I would like suggest more enfaces is put on the two single drivers that you have to choose. I had Vettel and Hamilton in my 2011 team and won most races thanks to Vettel but did not get many points for it. It means there is not much point spending your money on the single drivers compared to spending it on teams because you can't score enough points to make it worthwhile.

^^^^ i agree a driver should

i agree a driver should score more than a car or engine in my opinion. a car has 2 chances of winning a race an engin has many chances but a driver only has one. maybe the points could be a ratio of the chances. i.e a car gets half as many points as a driver ect ect
