Hey all. I hope you're enjoying Legends so far. While not all features have been fully tested and made public, the leagues are functioning well. I wanted to make note of a few bug fixes that I've put in place recently. Some of which have plagued us since before Legends. Please keep an eye out for anything strange of awry that may come as an indirect consequence of any recent changes.

1. I've cleaned up the Draft Queue, replacing the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons with some arrows. This allows us to pack that additional column (Games Played) into the Queue List so that it matches the Find Player List.
2. I've fixed the JavaScript bug that was throwing off the Queue List when there were players added from the Find Player List that hadn't been saved yet. Previously you would add a player to the queue and, if you went to move the player up or down your list, it would look kinda funky.
3. Leagues that are Joining or Drafting will no longer see a mystery countdown on their League Dashboard (it'll just say that the Next Game starts after the draft). Each Legends league is on its own schedule (as opposed to standard fantasy which abides by the NBA schedule), so that didn't know what to display in leagues that didn't have established schedules yet (the schedule isn't generated until the draft is finished because it needs to know when to start the season).
4. There was a URL issue for player profiles on the Stats page if users were not logged into the site. This has been fixed.
5. The League Portal on the site main page now pulls relevant Legends data (previously it was just showcasing the standard NBA game for "Next Game" a.k.a Game 64). It also pulls the player names for historic players, which it hadn't been doing.
6. A change has been put in place to add the appropriate season data to each player DURING the draft (as opposed to AFTER the draft). You'll have noticed this if you went to your Team page in the middle of the draft and saw that a player's age was something like "-1988". This will be fixed mid-draft for all new leagues. Any previously existing league will still use the old way, where the season data is added after the draft.
7. There were some issues with league scoring last week. I believe this has been rectified and back to normal ever since. A fix has not been retroactively applied to games before that time frame. The leagues impacted by that early issue were all beta leagues. I'm not sure if/when we'll re-score those.
8. The historic player database has been cleaned up in situations where players shared the same name. No longer will players like Gerald Henderson be credited with his and his father's stat line. There may be some beta leagues that had players impacted that will see strange things happen as a result. I can help fix these on a case-by-case basis. What most likely happened is that Beta Team X drafted somebody like Dee Brown. The player the drafted would have initially been a combination of the Celtics Dunk Competition Dee Brown and the much younger Illinois Guard Dee Brown. It's possible that the Dee Brown the fantasy team ended up with after the players were separated is the wrong one.

9. Commissioners will soon be able to simulate/advance their Legends schedule at the click of a button (rather than waiting for the daily update).
10. Multi-season functionality (ie; the option to have a player pool consisting of multiple seasons) is in the works. Just need to iron out some last minute details to ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible.
11. A complete, comprehensive record of historic team jerseys and team colours should be added to the database soon.

That's it for now. I'll be back with more updates soon.

The Stats and Rosters page will always have the Stats for the season we choose or there will be a option to show My League Legends Stats?

I'm playing a 89-90 season with the advance shuffle, so a few games can be repeated, what will make the stats be different then the year I'm playing.

What you are looking for is on the player profile page for now.

I'd like to add this information elsewhere eventually, too.

Hey guys, could you check league id 201042 for a bug, please? We just went through our 7th game on the season, on game 6 there was a match that simply had no score (bottom 2 teams only have 6games).

We thought that maybe past one day the score would show up/fix but nothing happened.
