EA API/ Data Fixes
I've been working with the data that comes from the api recently and there are a lot of things that need to be fixed. And there are some items that I have on my wishlist.
- Obviously the free agent data not being available is a known bug. I have hopes that this will be resolved in the Madden 26
- The draft information for all players is slightly off. For example, the server outputs joe burrow as being the 2nd pick of the 2nd round. It's right in the game but wrong when it exports.
- Injury data needs to be handled better. The injury length should update every week to adjust for players getting closer to returning to action
I'm sure there are more but these are ones that hop out at me as obvious fixes. Here are a few on my wish list:
- Quality of life improvements to the app. League commissioners deserve a better experience. We should be able to load the regular season schedule in without issue, all weeks.
- I would love for draft data be an export option. There is so much story telling with mock drafts, etc. which can be done if this data was exportable once the draft class is generated
- Awards need to be exported in the player data. Once again, this is being tracked in the game but doesn't export anywhere
- Blocking stats would be a big plus, the big guys deserve love too!
- Transaction specific data export would be nice. Signings, trades, etc. all in one export.
These all feel like easy additions (maybe besides the draft class export) that would greatly improve the quality of data available.
