This release introduces several new data functions, some new utilities, and an array of data/function updates.

New Data!

  • load_participation() returns new play-level information about what players are on the field, how many players are in the box, and what formation the offense is using. Data from NGS starting 2016 and onward
  • load_contracts() downloads (historical) player contracts from OverTheCap.com
  • load_players() returns player-level information and is the new recommended source (over rosters) for IDs, positions, birthdates etc.
  • load_rosters_weekly() provides week-by-week team rosters dating back to 2002.
  • load_officials() returns game-level information about which officials are assigned to specific games.

New Functions!

  • nflverse_download() downloads all files attached to specified/all releases to a local folder. This facilitates something like arrow::open_dataset() for reading files locally.
  • nflverse_releases() lists all releases that can be loaded through nflverse_download()
  • load_from_url() exposes a new utility function for loading any csv, rds, qs, parquet URL to memory.

Function Updates!

  • load_draft_picks() now has the rest of the career stat fields from PFR
  • *sitrep() functions now report package-specific options that are set.
  • get_current_week() helper to get the current nfl season week
  • load_rosters() now provides season-level rosters dating back to 1920.

Other bugfixes

  • moved rbindlist to a helper that manages attributes better
  • update dictionary_snap_counts and dictionary_schedules with some missing fields
  • rewrite from_url error messages to use cli and improve usefulness
  • bump minimum rlang version to 1.0.0
  • add piggyback suggested dependency
  • Export old class to support S4/DBI/nflfastR::update_db() as if it were a tibble
  • Fix exportOldClass so that it supports only data.frame stuff? we have no idea,,,
  • options(nflreadr.prefer) defaults to rds now since qs is no longer a required dependency
  • clean_player_names() now also removes commas (after optionally using them for convert_lastfirst)
  • clean_player_names() now also removes all caps suffixes
  • dictionary updates: return labelled.
  • .sitrep() exits nicely if no packages are to be investigated. #114
  • refactored all the loaders to use load_from_url as primary
  • fixed broken example in load_ff_opportunity() documentation. #117
