Move the "League Function Menu" to the main menu bar.

Say you want to run a quick rescout, make a tweak to the schedule, edit a ballpark, etc.

Rather than go: League Menu--->League setup---> Scan the league setup page for the feature you'd like to change or find the League Function Menu that has quick access to everything, just move it to the top menu bar where the league, team and manager drop down menus are located.

In short, make it a drop down menu as well.

It makes no sense to have the League Function Menu stuck in the league setup screen. you're over clicking for the same thing and its very convoluted

This would make things much more easier and efficient.

As one who makes changes often all for this.

It's a 1 button click to get to league setup now. I understand what you're asking for, but please, we do not need more menu's along the top. This function works fine and is not tedious to get to or make changes. We can't have a shortcut menu for every single thing on the main page, it would get too cluttered and unfriendly to work with real quick.

Four clicks actually: League Menu--->League Setup--->(League) Functions--->Desired function (rescout, Edit schedule etc..)

Don't have time to post screen shots right now, but there's enough room for it. The Team Menu button is huge. It could go right there.

The shortcut on your icon bar takes you directly to league setup with 1 click.

From there, yes, you need to click the functions button and continue to drill down.


My point is, everybody has a place in game where they want to go quickly. Yours happens to be the functions menu. So do we add shortcuts to all the other areas in league setup too, because someone else might want something different?

The idea of the main page, much like a website, is to get you the overview and pointed to the desired area, and from there you drill down. OOTP does this quite well. You don't have shortcuts to every single area of your game/website on the main page, because it becomes a clustered mess in a real hurry and everything is impossible to find.

There is a shortcut to league setup on the main page - from there you drill down. It's designed that way for a purpose.

Fair enough. I stopped playing with the icon bar after 12 because I just didn't like the changes to it and I didn't realize it was there.

i get the slippery slope part. I don't necessarily think it would lead to that, but I understand what you're saying. I just think it would simplify things. Maybe just add it to the icon bar...
