You ask, we listen! DataForce has added a number of new features to our software that you’ll want to know about. Here are some of the more impactful additions.
To unlock the links in this article, you may want to be logged in at DataForce with your league selected.
Update Your Mobile App, Please!
I know we’ve mentioned this multiple times already, but DataForce updated its mobile app this offseason. It’s a considerable upgrade, including push notifications and much easier navigation, and we want to remind everybody to download the latest version from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
NOW would be a good time to do this! Then head to your Owner->Setup page to configure push notifications.
Moving Players Between Positions
Ever had the frustrating experience of wanting to swap two players between, say, the wide receiver spot and your the flex position? You gotta bench both players, then move them back into the lineup in the right spots. Like, who has time for that, right?
No more. Just drag one over the top of the other on your Set Lineup page, and they’ll trade places without ever leaving the starting lineup.
Trade Bait Purges Automatically
You list Wilt Chamberlain as a tradable starting Center, and ask for a Right Guard like John Stockton in return. Someone makes an offer you can’t refuse, and you nab it.
Wilt has gone to a new home, but your outdated Trade Bait page keeps bringing traders to your front door, making offers.
No more. Each night, the software scans your team, and if any of the players on your Trade Bait page are no longer on the team, they get dropped off the list.
Multiple Email Addresses
Maybe you’ve got a work email address and a home email address, and want your football news delivered to both.
Maybe you share a team with your daughter and want her to get email too, without having to set her up with an account to be a co-owner.
Maybe you just like receiving email.
Whatever the reason, you can now put an additional email address on your My Account page!
Lots of New Helmet Colors and Icons
Run out of variations for custom-made team helmets for your team?
We’ve tripled the number of helmet colors, and added hundreds of new icons to choose from!
If you had a favorite icon and it seems to have gone missing from the build-a-helmet page, scroll to the bottom of the page and click SHOW LEGACY ICONS.
Receiving Targets on the Players Page
Some swear by receiving targets for evaluating player activity, others see it as a meaningless stat indicating how many times the quarterback had to throw the ball away in the nearest receiver’s direction.
Whatever you think of the stat, it’s now available on the updated Players Page. This page is a wealth of sortable data, with one caveat: The new receiving targets column won’t be populated until the 2026 season rolls in.
More Useful Prize Sharing Options
You won’t be able to use this feature yet, but come week 15 when the playoffs begin, you can negotiate prize-sharing options with your opponent that have more meaning, such as “Winner of our game takes home 70%, loser takes 30%, deal?”
And for the first time, it’s now possible to negotiate prize-sharing in Contender leagues, those 48-team contests where your opponent may not even be in the same 12-team league as you!
All My Notes
“I need to acquire a quarterback back before the playoffs begin.”
“Team BENCH SITTERS offered to swap handcuffs.”
“Don’t draft any players with a week 5 bye, that’s when I play Dad.”
“This team is hopeless, continue to set lineups but don’t bother trading.”
For the first time, you can see all of the notes you wrote to yourself on one page.
Unblock Me!
Got an opponent who keeps offering nonsensical trades? When you get tired of it, you can always block them from making trade offers to you.
But people change. And learn. And get over their drunk. So do you.
So, if your trading has been blocked by someone, and you can’t send them offers anymore, here’s a little satisfaction: They can no longer offer you trades either, now! When they get tired of seeing your team missing from their trade page, it’ll serve as a reminder to them to remove the block and give you a second chance.
