Scout Task List

PSUColonel · 09-11-2021, 02:01 PM

Is there an easy way to prioritize scouting assignments within the Scouting Task List? I am asking simply because I refuse to believe the developers could have designed this so poorly. I can see the "move up" and "move down" buttons, but they only move a player one slot at a time. I can also see the task # bar to the left. I also realize you can drag and drop it...but only within spaces on your currently viewable page. In other words, if your list of assignments is long enough to scroll, you can take a player form the bottom to the top....you have to drop him off in the middle, and then go hunt and peck for him only to have to repeat the process.

You also can't seem to be able to select multiple players at once to re-prioritize. Please tell me I am missing something here, and the design isn't really this bad.

It's just one thing of many UI and QoL things that make you scratch your head.

Anyway good luck expecting any noticeable changes (especially changes that can't be turned into a marketable headline) on any franchise mode stuff. The money is on selling perfect points.

That’s not true at all. This development team is one of the most responsive group I’ve ever seen. I’m sure they will look to improve this area of the UI as it’s not the most functional…I just wanted to know if I was missing something. They take constructive criticism to heart…this is something I KNOW after having been around here for more than 22 years.

To me, the easiest solution is to number each task, and then have a drop down menu with the number of tasks…from here you can re-assign numbers for each player.

Another idea is to have different “priority categories” you could assign to different players.

Funny what you think you "know."

How's that feedback going for you?
