A roster view that had fancy stats would definitely rekindle my interest in the game.

As mentioned, Extra Skater would be a phenomenal template. Listing Corsi & Fenwick as a % is also, I find, more intuitive than the absolute number.

Lastly, is there anywhere in particular we should post feature requests?
Kallinan,

When I first loaded up this game I was flummoxed by the huge amount of detail and numbers. Like you I want a shortcut and used certain numbers while ignoring things like the "ratings" screen because it was too much. However, as I learned to digest the info I have found that it just took some time to get to know the info. Moreover, using shortcuts really led to some mediocre teams. I think this is why some people think the match engine isn't good. They load their teams up with players who have 7s, 7.5s, and so one and never bother to check which skills give them that overall rating. I can virtually guarantee that I will beat a team of 7s full of goons with my team of well rounded 6s. That's the problem with shortcuts. If you can slowly develop an eye for the stats and a bit more patience I think you'll love this game.
