2030 Trade Partners

[Lions]

I was playing around with some stuff and generated the following chord diagram of 2030 trade partners. This is a grahical way of looking at how often teams traded with other teams in the calendar year 2030.

A thicker ribbon between teams indicates more trades. The ribbons do not indicate anything about the number of players or quality of players being exchanged. This is merely frequecy of trades.



If you look closely you can see the time stone behind all those weird arcs.

Fascinating, Frank, and quite beautiful. I don't see anything behind the wheel of colored ribbons, but I'm not sure what a "time stone" is. You do great work with these colorful charts.

[Sandgnats]

I'm going to second Bob's sentiments here. I think we can breach the space time continuum with this chart.

[Borealis]

I'm guessing Havana, as the lone non-trading team?

[Apollos]

If only we had this chart during the heyday of ‘trader Matt’. Surely he’d have consumed half the pie.

Which of these 2029 charts do you prefer? A, B, or C? The only difference is color scheme.

This is amazing work.

I love it

I vote for C

[Sandgnats]

B

[Borealis]

A or C...

[Underground]

A or B

[Leones]

C works best for me because I'm used to the team colors. Easy to see them in C, to my mind.

[Hitmen]

Agree with C.

Can any of our statslab or graphical geniuses figure out how to get the reports out of the finance screen into something easier to consume. Ones like the Rule v draft eligible for your organization is very helpful, yet painfully buried on this screen and it’s minor windows.

Ah... shows you how observant I am... indeed, C!!

They all use team colors.

B and C are the team colors, just flipped. It's easy to see with WV.
A is a "preferred" color picked from the team colors. Basically, it takes the team text color and uses that unless it's white or black, in which case it picks the background color.

I think I tend to like the lighter of the two colors for the shading and the darker for the borders, but I worry that may result in too many similarly colored sections when generalized to leagues like MLB that have a lot of teams with very similar shades of red and blue (e.g. Cubs, Indians, Cardinals, Twins, Red Sox)

Agree with C.

There is the new Rule 5 page in StatsLab, and of course the HTML pages have the limited financial reports.

I can look into other sections from the Front Office page, although there isn't always enough data exported out of OOTP for all of it. Which sections would be most helpful?
One thing worth asking is how much should be publicly visible? OOTP restricts financial views for teams you don't GM, although some of what's restricted is on the HTML output.
