it's a great concept but there's a lot there and it's overwhelming.

there's definitely a demand for this but the real challenge is presenting sophisticated stats in an easy-to-use manner.

i would suggest dumbing down (simplifying) the presentation but not the content. cool idea though.

This is the dumbed down version :-) I know what you mean though. It is a fine line between giving people simplicity and complete flexibility. I've thought about creating niche versions of StatPlot for specific teams. So you if you are a Dallas Cowboys fan, perhaps I could streamline the interface for a Dallas specific version of StatPlot.

Or I could just create a dirt simple version of StatPlot. Then the current version becomes the "Advanced" option.

Thoughts?
