New Features in HomeField!

By Reece

Guess who rocked their conditioning program over winter break? HomeField, that's WHO. We've been hard at work on some new features and updates to make HomeField run even smoother than it already is (if that's even possible).

Video Tutorials
You can practice all winter, but playing in that first game is always scary. Creating your first HomeField scouting report won't be. We created some video tutorials on how to create a scouting report, so that blank page in front of you is a bit less daunting. You'll see it on the first page of each scouting report you add (and it'll disappear once you get started yourself). We also have a tutorial on how to upload video to your account. We think it's easy, but we wanted to show off anyway. Enjoy the superbly professional narration...

Flashy Scouting Reports
Speaking of scouting reports - you'll notice they've got a sharp new look and improved footwork - a.k.a animations - that help guide your actions quickly on the page. Buttons for new plays or players put on some muscle, and are more clearly presented so you don't waste time looking for how to add a new card, and the cards themselves slide into place as you move from page to page, card to card.

Email Notification of Upload Completion
So you watched the upload tutorial and you know what to expect, but we don't actually expect you to stare at the screen until your video's done uploading, do we? Well, no, we don't - you've got a team to coach! So, go back to your Chalkboard and create a scouting report for the video you're uploading or propose trades to get your hands on more game film - we'll email you when your video is ready! Just check the box and we'll send you an email when your video is finished uploading and converting. Cool, right?

TeamHomeField.com: Ready to Play
Finally, and maybe most importanly - you'll notice that TeamHomeField.com has beefed up for the season. We're out of stealth mode-into the wild-can't fight this feeling anymore and it's time for the world to know! So, TeamHomeField.com will display a bit of our message to the universe until you log in with your usual HomeField username and password in the top right corner. Got a buddy who wants to get on HomeField - you can now send them to TeamHomeField.com and all the info they need is right there. OK... it's a work in progress, but TeamHomeField.com was itching to get off the bench and into the game we call the world wide web. Feel free to cheer him on with an email!
