Link arrows disappear in player profiles

injury log · 07-02-2007, 04:09 PM

I posted this in the Suggestions forum for next year, but I think the suggestion might be straightforward enough that it could be included in a patch. There is a GUI behaviour that seems odd to me in OOTP 2007, and different from 2006, which worked as I would have expected. To explain (quoting my other post):

If I go, say, to the Free Agents list in the Transactions pane and open a Free Agent player's profile, in the top right I will have link arrows to the previous and next free agent, allowing me to quickly skim through the pool of free agent player profiles. This is brilliant, and very useful. If I go, say, to offer a contract to a free agent (or indeed to any other screen), and then click the back arrow to return to the player profile, these link arrows will have disappeared, replaced by a scouting drop-down menu. These link arrows did not disappear in OOTP 2006, for which reason I find it especially odd that they vanish in '07.

I can't think of a design reason why these arrows should disappear after using the 'back' browser button, and I find them very useful. In any event, I hope they can come back in either a new patch or in 2008.

You're right they do. You click on the back arrow and they revert to the player profile page and disappear. However, click on any tab while in said player(s) profile and the arrows reappear. You can then click on the players profile tab again and skim thru all the players again just as before.

I had never noticed that- thanks Tycobbler. In any event, it seems like an unintentional behaviour that should be easy to fix.
