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!
Team Announcements
Our new feature of Organization announcements has now been expanded to individual teams! With Announcements, Organization Admins can message their teams without needing to join individual teams or use 3rd party apps. Similarly, team Staff can now ensure updates are easily found rather than getting buried in busy team chat threads or external emails.
Situational Stats for Baseball/Softball
This is a new set of season stat tables that break down team and player performance across key game situations. Coaches can analyze results by factors like count, batting order position, inning, outs, runner(s) on base state, score situation, and batted ball type, helping them understand how performance changes in different moments of a game. Confirmed members can view situational stats for their player on the player profile.

Live Activities for iOS
Live Activities are here! Family and fans are able to follow games without even opening the app! With Live Activities on iOS, real-time GameChanger scores will appear right on your lock screen of your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch! This widget will update automatically throughout the game:
- See scores instantly from the lock screen
- Stay connected to the game from anywhere
- Follow along effortlessly, just like the pros

Player Insights for Basketball
Basketball Staff and confirmed members can now access player-specific Insights — breaking down individual performance for each active player in a game. Staff will gain this feature in addition to the existing team-level Game Insights.
Lineup Recommendations on iOS
Staff members can now generate lineups for their team's events on iOS! These recommendations include a configuration flow that gives coaches a chance to set the number of players in the lineup and remove unavailable players from the recommendation!
Recommendations use GameChanger performance data and sabermetric principles to suggest batting orders and defensive positions designed to maximize team performance.

Game Clips Without Scorekeeping
GameChanger will automatically create clips for baseball, softball, and basketball games even if you do not score, giving teams with limited volunteers a chance to still capture the moments that matter most each game!
Non-scorekeeping clips will be limited to only at-bats for baseball/softball or shot attempts for basketball. They will not be assigned to any player or have any other identifying details.
