New Coding Project: Madden-Stats

Well my buddy Ymiris and his love for Madden NFL 08 asked me if it would be possible to make some charts and trending data based on the gaming statistics that EA provides via email after every game.  Knowing my love for interesting little coding projects I am sure he know I would be interested in working with him on it the moment he asked.

So far the project is coming along pretty well, and I have done some interesting integration things between a few out of the box - and some custom written stuff.  As many of you all ready know, me and pretty web design are pretty much oil and water (one of the main reasons ZaaM does all the ‘beauty work’ at 360friendspot.com and theliveeye.com as well as coding) so I did my best to make the layout at least somewhat appealing - and Ymiris is going also put some time into making it look a bit better.

Come on over to madden-stats.com and register for an account, test it out, and provide us some feedback.  After you register you can copy and paste your game emails into our game loader and it will populate our system with the stats provided within.  Sadly we dont have a direct connection to the data like the XCDP program for xbox live (*hint hint EA Games*).  After your data has been loaded, you can check out your stats in a more graphical way - as well as being able to see your Average, Max, and Min of a specific stat.

 

Keep in mind that the site is still in the very begining stages - so it might have a few bugs - and will continue to be modified as we develop and refine the functionality of the site
