Verdict: Clean up the "Manager's Office."

Déjà Bru · 07-20-2014, 10:08 PM

Too cluttered. Too busy. Too many boxes and scroll bars. I thought I would like it at first but now I avoid it. The previous "Manager's Office" was too simple, but this is too much in the other direction. It needs another re-work, in my opinion. Just some constructive criticism, as always. And a suggestion: The option to have less, and therefore bigger, boxes. Asking a lot, I am sure.

The obligatory "if its an option" post

I have a big screen and even if the boxes are "small" (your opinion not mine) they give me almost everything I want to look at, without searching, in one place. Not even mentioning it lets me decide which screens I want and in what order. I love this new screen.

I would like to see customizable shapes and sizes in the managers office screen. I'd also like to be able to track my shortlisted players and pitchers there.

Multiple or tabbed "Shortlists" are long overdue.

Your notes do track the upper and lower tiers of performance in the news box, just in case you hadn't noticed. Surprised me when I first saw it:

I've seen that but I want more info. I'm greedy that way.

Big, huge, THIS!

Tabbed shortlists with tab names that can be renamed!

Amen, brother!

I would like bigger boxes so I can see my pitching and bullpen as the same time as my lineup. Currently, there is no way to do this on the manager's screen

The new manager's Office is my favourite change in the new release. The old version was all but useless. I LOVE the new one.

Ditto. I never used the old version, while the new manager's office is my current home screen. Although I do think the option to resize each panel individually would be pretty spiffy.

Oh, I am not saying the new "Manager's Office" is not an improvement over the old one. It is. What I say is that it needs further improvement, along the lines of what we are seeing suggested in this thread.
