Suggestions

Some suggestions I put together in no particular order:

1. On the Personnel screen when you're showing the entire organizaion, please show the coach's ratings. I know you can switch to showing just your team's personnel and then use the dropdown to page through your organization but I'd like to see the ratings at a glance.

2. On the Player Profile screen, I'd love to be able to edit what stats are shown like you can elsewhere. Personally, I don't want ERA+, I want FIP.

3. On the rosters and Transactions screen, I'd like to be able to toggle between actual and potential. I play with a potentials on 1-5 scale and no actuals and there's a whole lotta blanks shown. I could also see this being useful to those who want to give preferential moves to certain prospects.

4. Gameplay Modes - All of the settings can be overwhelming. How about a wizard for game and league settings that flips all the appropriate switches for common styles of play. Modes like: stats only low-fi (1-5 scale), stats only hi-fi (1-100 scale), Ironman (trading very hard, favor prospects, etc.), and so on. Something to simplify the scary array of settings for the newb as well as maybe a common frame of reference for the vets.

5. I don't know if this is what's planned but I think on the 3D field, you need to see the ball thrown to the base for any outs. You ought to be able to look at only the 3D representation and have a pretty good idea of how the play turned out.

6. Currently, when you submit an offer to personnel and they want more money, you don't hear back. I think this is a bug that's being worked on but in case that's WAD, I'd like to hear if my offer is no longer being considered.

7. Please make the salary column of the format "$500K" instead of "$500,000" (obviously for any salaries high enough). The latter is too long and gets truncated on most screens I use.

8. I'd love to be able to adjust the width of any of the columns on any of view but I understand that my be difficult if that's not already a part of the graphics package.

9. Please make the Waiver Wire one of the drop-down selections on the manager's home screen. I think some of us waiver poachers would like to have easy access to that info.

10. Please color code the groundball verbiage. It would make it a lot easier to decypher "GB T" versus "EX FB". I don't know if you want to use the current blue=good/red=bad color scale or not. I'm not sure there's a consensus on whether a EX GB pitcher is better than a EX FB guy.

11. I'd like to see a trading difficulty setting between Normal and Hard ("Challenging"?). Normal seems too easy to me and Hard seems too hard.

12. Please add "On shortlist" to the list of categories that you can filter on.

13. It was revealed to me that you can dig down to the compare screen and see a PECOTA-like comparitor player to the guy you're looking at. I'd like to see this brought up to one of the player profile screens (a new tab or wedged into one of the current ones).

Comments welcomed.
