Whether you're new to the app, just returning for the start of your sport's season, or simply didn't have time to check out last month's app updates, we've got you covered with a roundup of any and all features that are new to GameChanger!
Basketball Cover Your Way
In basketball, you can choose how to best cover your game with the volunteers that you have available to you each game. With basketball's Cover Your Way, you can choose to stream and score simultaneously on one device, score with advanced statistics, score just the basics, or only live stream/record.
If you only have one volunteer, stream and score allows you to keep track of the essentials from one device. When you have more volunteers, you can have one one run the live stream while another scores. There are two different scoring options depending on the comfortability of your scorekeeper or statistical needs of your team.
Basketball Player Season and Game Stories
The Player Season Story is the Home tab on a basketball player's profile in the GameChanger app. It gathers a player's season into one place, so you can see how they're performing across the season and jump into the story of any individual game.
- Season averages — Per-game averages with season totals for Points, Rebounds, Assists, and Steals.
- Most recent game — A featured Player Game Story from the player's latest covered game, with the opponent, date, and final score.
- Season summary — Bullet-point insights about the player's season to date, with video where available.
- Game reels — Video reels from the player's individual games.
-
Game Stories — Teams have already had Game Recap Stories, giving a newspaper-quality recap of a completed game. The Player Game Story is that same experience, curated for one player: a recap written just for them, alongside their game reel, clips, box score, and insights. Every covered game gets one, so your player's performance gets its own headline every time they take the court.

Pitching Insights for Staff on Web
Baseball and softball coaches can now see a full pitching breakdown from a game’s “Insights” tab on web! This insight tab visualizes inning-by-inning trends in strike %, first-pitch strike % and velocity makes it much easier for coaches to spot fatigue and understand effectiveness, an upgrade from just reviewing game totals in stat tables.
Haptic Feedback for Quick Pitch Options (iOS)
We learned from our users that one downside of having easier access to common scorekeeping options was that scorekeepers sometimes miss the button and do not score a pitch at all, or accidentally double tap and score a pitch twice. By adding haptic feedback to these buttons for iOS devices, there is direct tactile feedback about what has or has not been pressed, reducing any unknowing scoring errors.
Stats on Web for Fans
Team stats are now available to non-Staff users on web! Previously, team stats were only accessible to most users in our mobile apps. Now you can view stats on the web with a Premium subscription even if you are not Staff.
Sponsor Logos for Live Streams (BETA)
Team Staff and Organization Admins (excluding tournaments) can now upload a sponsor logo that displays in the upper-right corner of their livestreams. Once a logo is set, it persists on all future livestreams for that team or org until it's updated or removed.
