v2.0.0

This is a major release that introduces a new generation of high efficient standings and simulation code

New Features

  • New function nfl_standings() for high efficient standings calculation. The functions compute_division_ranks(), compute_conference_seeds(), and compute_draft_order() will be deprecated in a future release. (#45)
  • New function nfl_simulations() for a new, highly efficient approach to season simulations. This is a completely new design of the simulator,
    with the aim of achieving significantly faster run times and eliminating weaknesses in the old approach (in simulate_nfl()).
    The introduction of this function is supplemented by the two new utility functions nflseedR_compute_results(), and simulations_verify_fct().
    These functions form the new standard for computing results (if the user does not have their own function for this)
    respectively allow verification of the functionality of their own functions instead of nflseedR_compute_results().
    It is planned that simulate_nfl() will be deprecated in a future release so that the dependencies of nflseedR can be significantly reduced. (#47)
  • New function nfl_standings_prettify() computes a gt::gt() table of the output created with nfl_standings(). (#49)

Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements

  • nfl_standings() now supports tiebreaker_depth = "POINTS" which breaks ties using combined point ranks and point differentials. This means that all tiebreakers except net touchdowns are now implemented. (#47)
  • Fixed a bug in nfl_standings() where the tie breaking procedure didn't restart correctly after some teams were eliminated while some others remained tied. (#47)
  • The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() explicitly sets the columns width of the logo column because those columns are hidden in some unclear scenarios.
  • The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() now requires gt version v0.9.0 or higher to avoid warnings about deprecated arguments.
  • Fixed error in simulate_nfl() where it crashes because the "fake schedule" isn't a tibble. (#43)
  • The function load_sharpe_games has been deprecated. It was replaced a fairly long time ago by nflreadr::load_schedules(). (#47)
  • nflseedR now requires R 4.1 to allow the package to use R's native pipe |> operator. This follows the Tidyverse R version support rules. (#48)
