Game Home Screen, how many know it is even there?

Sweed · 04-22-2018, 10:39 AM

My way of playing OOTP is to play out my game and then after I go through my bookmarks IE standings, newspaper, MLB homepage, waiver wire, for a quick look around the league that day. Then I move onto the next day.

There is one screen that I run across, almost by accident, in every version and then promptly forget about it as it "hides" under the "Game" menu tab (that I rarely look at) and that is the "Game Home Screen". This is a great screen that with so much information all in one place. It finally hit me to bookmark it and it has become a part of my daily "bookmark tour" adding a ton to the immersion factor of OOTP.

So how may guys use this on a regular basis? Or how many, like me

, either don't know it's there or simply forget about it?

I use it all the time. For those that use the icon bar, there's no need to bookmark it either, as a shortcut already exists on the icon bar. (2nd button).

I always forget about this screen, but I'll bookmark it now, thanks!

I've always hidden the icon bar as I build very wide views with tons of stats and it would take pixels away and make me lose a column when on the side or a row of stats if across the bottom. Sure I could just pull it out when needed and then re-hide it when done but those clicks would pretty much equal using the upper menus and take longer than the bookmarks.

I did pick up a 2k monitor a few months ago so maybe I'll give it another try and keep it out if it doesn't interfere with my views, thanks.

Front office, Salaries tab, rosters transaction, depth charts, FA lists, draft pool list, short lists, ... the other needed basics.

all meat and potatoes for me
