Player Performance Heatmap
• Why: This visualization shows how individual players perform across various metrics (e.g., passing accuracy, rushing yards, defensive stops). Heatmaps allow users to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses in a player's performance, making it easy to compare different players.
Title/Concept Name: Player Performance Heatmap
User Story: As a user (e.g., coach, analyst, fan), I want to visualize player performance across various metrics so that I can quickly identify strengths and weaknesses of individual players and compare them with others.
Description: Create a player performance heatmap using React and D3.js that visualizes individual player performance across multiple metrics. Tasks:
• Design and implement the heatmap interface.
○ Example: Refer to Player Performance Heatmap Example
• Integrate data for real-time updates using Sports Radar API.
• Implement advanced features (hover effects, click to expand, dynamic filtering).
• Ensure interactivity with filters and comparative analysis options.
Acceptance Criteria:
• The heatmap must display individual player performance for multiple parameters such as passing accuracy, rushing yards, defensive stops, etc.
• Each cell in the heatmap should be color-coded based on performance, with a gradient indicating low to high values.
• Tooltips should appear on hover, detailing the specific metric and value for the player.
• The heatmap must be responsive and render correctly on different screen sizes.
• Data should be fetched in real-time using the Sports Radar API, and the visualization should be updated accordingly.
• The heatmap should include filters (e.g., by player, team, game phase) for more tailored analysis.
User Flow:
Data Initialization:
○ User lands on the Player Performance page.
○ The frontend sends a request to the backend to fetch player data.
Rendering Heatmap:
○ The heatmap component initializes and inserts an SVG into the DOM.
○ Data fetched from the backend API is processed and bound to the heatmap using D3.js.
Interaction:
○ Users see a well-labeled heatmap with players on one axis and performance metrics on the other.
○ Hovering over a cell displays a tooltip with detailed performance data.
Filtering and Updates:
○ Users can apply filters to refine which players and metrics are displayed.
○ The heatmap updates dynamically based on the selected filters and new data from the backend.
Axes and Labels:
X-Axis (Metrics):
• Passing Accuracy
• Rushing Yards
• Defensive Stops
• Receiving Yards
• Touchdowns
• Sacks
• Interceptions
• Field Goals Made
• Punt Return Yards
• Kick Return Yards
Y-Axis (Players):
• Each player’s full name.
• Include small profile photos for better visual recognition.
Data Points Required:
• Player Identification:
○ Full name, ID, team name, team logo, player image.
• Performance Metrics:
○ Detailed offensive, defensive, and special teams metrics, including:
§ Passing Yards
§ Passing Attempts
§ Passing Completions
§ Rushing Attempts
§ Rushing Yards
§ Receptions
§ Receiving Yards
§ Sacks
§ Tackles
§ Interceptions
§ Field Goals Attempted
§ Field Goals Made
§ Extra Points Attempted
§ Extra Points Made
• Game Context:
○ Game date, opponent team, game phase, home/away, weather conditions.
• Historical Data:
○ Aggregate metrics for previous seasons, injury history, consistency index.

Implement Player Performance Heatmap
Description: Create a player performance heatmap using React and D3.js that visualizes individual player performance across multiple metrics. This visualization will compare player performance with three benchmarks: historical performances, other teams' performance against opponents in the same position, and matchups specifically against the current opponent's defense.
Tasks:
Design and implement the heatmap interface.
Example:
Integrate data for real-time updates using Sports Radar API.
Implement advanced features (hover effects, click to expand, dynamic filtering).
Ensure interactivity with filters and comparative analysis options.
Acceptance Criteria:
Users can view player performance across various metrics.
Heatmap updates in real-time without user intervention.
Users can filter metrics and compare performance across players and different benchmarks (historical performances, other teams' performance, and matchups against the current opponent).
Users can toggle between light and dark themes.
Users can drag and resize the heatmap within the dashboard.
Milestone: Player Performance Heatmap implemented.
Labels: Player Performance, Real-Time Data, Phase 2

Enhancements to Improve:
Interactivity:
○ Implement dynamic filters to view specific metrics, game phases, matchup data, and historical comparisons.
○ Allow hovering over cells/players to view detailed performance metrics and comparisons.
Visualization:
○ Use a clean and consistent color palette for better differentiation.
○ Include player photos for better recognition and context.
○ Display comparative performance against historical records, other teams in the same position, and the current opponent's defense.
Responsiveness:
○ Ensure the heatmap resizes correctly for mobile and tablet views.
○ Provide options to minimize/expand the heatmap for better dashboard management.
