nflseedR (development version)

Fixed error in simulate_nfl() where it crashes because the “fake schedule” isn’t a tibble. (#43)

CRAN release: 2023-01-05

simulate_nfl() gained the new argument sim_include to allow more access to what is actually being simulated. This makes it possible skip playoff simulation or the (possibly heavy) computation of draft order. (#34)
The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() now hides columns where all values are NA. This is useful if simulate_nfl() skips the postseason or draft order. The method also re-formats the number of simulations in the subtitle, e.g. from “10000” to “10k” (this requires scales >= 1.2.0, but it is a good idea to update scales anyways). (#35)
simulate_nfl() now uses data.table to combine simulation rounds data. This is a significant performance improvement. The returned list "sim_params" now includes the package version of nflseedR (for debugging) and the current system time when the simulation was finished. (#36)
Lots of internal improvements to reduce package dependencies and messaging. (#36)
The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() now uses fmt_pct_special() to format probability strings to avoid the impression of overconfidence by rounding to integer percentages. (#37)

CRAN release: 2022-07-07

Added the data frame game_summary to the output of simulate_nfl() which aggregates matchups across all simulated seasons (#24)
Updated the description of some variables in load_sharpe_games() (#24)
The output of simulate_nfl() is now of class nflseedR_simulation which allows the implementation of a summary() method that computes a gt() table of the simulation summary data frame. (#26)
The standings data frame calculated by compute_division_ranks() now outputs losses and ties as well. (#27)

CRAN release: 2021-04-10

CRAN release: 2021-03-31

Added support for a fake schedule for simulating the upcoming season before the NFL has released the official schedule.
updated the documentation of the function load_sharpe_games() with the new columns away_qb_id, home_qb_id, away_qb_name and home_qb_name.
