New UI is great.

I think I might turn off the quick buttons. Everything is so easy to find in the new menus. I don't think I need that row of buttons to get where I am going anymore.

I don't think you can turn it off, I never use it either.. best UI in any text game I've ever played.

You can click near the top and hide it, but you can't turn it off. In preferences, you can make it show up on the right or left side, too.

HA! I just learned something!

Interesting. My one complaint so far is that I can't have the buttons on the bottom where they belong. I'm not good with too much change anymore. My opinion may change as I get used to it.

BTW you can hide the buttons.

The buttons have been very useful for me since I'm so used to the pitching staff button being on a drop down, thus making me have to look for it a bit every time I go to that menu. The buttons help me work around this.

I agree, everything looks great. in comparison to 12. The transitions to the BNN pages aren't awkward like they used to seem (at least to me)... everything just flows together nicely.

When I got the first beta build, I didn't like it. I've come to really appreciate how well it works nowadays. I still have a feeling that the guys have almost, but not quite, turned the GUI into a perfect piece of German craftsmanship. If I could explain it, I would.

That said, it's awesome, isn't it?

So it's like an onscreen BMW?

I keep going back and forth with the UI. It is definately sleek. It does have its improvements in certain parts. Yet at times, it feels like change for the sake of change.

I like the bars for ratings, the ease of navigation with those new big drop down menus, the lack of HTML pages now, the way it displays player faces.

I miss some of the information that used to be displayed on the home screen. I miss the league leaders being displayed on the standings screen. I miss that last one very very much.

No more League Leaders on the Standings screen ?

I remember they took it out once before but then put it back in where you had a checkbox to turn em on. Dissapointing news

It was an easy place to see everything in the league.

They're in the league's home page, what used to be the BNN's league page.
