What is Gamecast in the Options screen?

Post by FTMSupport » Sun Mar 29, 2009 8:16 pm

Gamecast is a hook for some functionality that will be available in the future. What it does is send play by play data to our web server. The intent is that if you are scoring a game on an iPhone (or an iPod Touch with WiFi connectivity), you will be able to send the play by play data to the server in real time, and other people interested in your game will be able to access your data.

There are at least a couple of ways we intend to make this data available:

1. A web view of the game much like you can see on espn.com of MLB games where as the game progresses, people can "watch it" on the internet.

2. Another user with iScore can be kept in sync while you are scoring a game.

In either case, it will be up to you to allow others to view the data if and only if you want them to.

We put the hook in now because the web viewing of data will be added without requiring any updates to the application on the iPhone.

We do not currently have a release date for this functionality. There are still several items that are higher priority, but we are constantly adjusting priorities based on customer interest in particular features.

Wow, this is going to be a FANTASTIC feature. Can't wait! I constantly text game updates to grandparents, this will be IDEAL.

Son's mom is going to be out of town for his next game, so I'm going to make use of a couple of features to give her a quasi-simulcast. After each inning, I'm going to email her the PDF of the scoresheet. The fact that the last email address stays active in the field will make this a breeze.

We're probably a little "too much" into baseball, but she's really happy to be able to see this kind of detailed "real time" update as the game goes along, and I'm happy that I don't have to keep shutting down iScore to make a phone call... 8-)

Is there such a thing as "too much" into baseball? I personally don't think this is possible. 8-)
