Many suggestions for the next Versions after my 10 seasons

[alko]

Played already 11 seasons with this games and by the process there are moments, when i found a room for many improvements. Some of them only minors, but very useful.
Because i played for NHL team, this ideas are primary focused to NHL. But there are many of them, that could be used also in others leagues.

If there are already some of this ideas in the Game, please let me know.

Trading system. Its never ending story. Especially AI controlled trades. But i will not focus to this, this is just little note.

More options by trade offers.
Like "If you take my Forward and won the Cup, i will receive also your first round pick in 2022 or 2024 (my choice)...
That could be cool. But i can imagine, it is very hard to implement.

More options for Contract offers.
Performance bonuses, trophy bonuses, signing bonuses...

INBOX NEWS
- Different Color for different Inbox News
Trades with green, signing with light green, Top game performance (4 goals and more, 5 points and more, shootout with 50+ saves) with purple... Many many options could be implemented
Blockbuster Trade should be also in different background color to see.

- Players on waivers or Trades
Also with current ability. I want direct to see, how good are the players involved in that trade.

- Scouting reports
What about some table? Or something in the options, where can i edit, at what level will i see scouting report in the INBOX. At now im spammed with too much low rated prospects, that im not interested in.

- Playoff round recap
In some short form to describe who won a playoff round, who was star...

- Playoff overall recap
Who was the best forward, best D, best Goalie. Also with statistics.

- Individual Trophies in the Inbox
Active link to the History of the Trophy.

- League Preview before the start.
The are now top dogs for Cup and top players for Trophies. But lets try to improve that. What about also some review about top young players, with their statistics from last season.
Or Good players, not stars. You know, like today's Tomas Tatar, Chris Kreider... Because when i simulate the game into future, i lost overview except the stars.
Then there could be a category Top Old Guys. Players older 35 years.
Every category will list 10-15 players. But also with statistics. Or at least their actual ratings (2 stars, 3 stars...)
This could be done also in the middle of season and at the end of regular season.

- Player of the Month.
Why there arent statistics and game overall ratings to see? This is for us crucial info.

- Retired players
This is also a news, where i want to see their career statistics. Trophies. Medals. Top game performances.

- There could be also one or two months into the season a brief overview, who is still a free agent
Like in November there will be a News to see: "Hey, there is still Jaro Halak as free agent. He has this and this stats in his last season..."

- Draft review
One for draft overall: Who was picked 1., 2., 3., last. Which team picked most players, most talented players....
Second for my own team. All players listed with basic info.

Home screen
My teams last 5 (10) games. Plus individual and Team Records from actual season (most goals, top game rating, biggest win, loss... But also with link to this games).

Team History Statistics
How many Awards (Stanley Cup, Presidents Cup, Gagarin Cup, Memorial Cup) has this franchise won.
Game Records - biggest win, loose, most goals overall in a game. Dont forget active link.

Final Draft Ranking
Why cant i sort the list by the pre-draft rankings? And why can i see a number position for player?

Stanley Cup rings
After Stanley Cup finals some sort of information, who from actual players has the most Stanley Cup rings. And in the history...

New statistics
- overtime goals + points + penalty shots => overall some special stats for overtime
- Numbers of Trophies: Who hwas won the most Maurice Richards, Vezina... Gold medals on WCH
- Tripple Gold Club. Or make also others like Quadruble Gold Cup (Stanley Cup, Gagarin Cup, Gold medal on WCH, Gold medal from olympics), and even more clubs.

Individual Trophies history - players listed also with franchise

Traded draft picks. Also want to see, what a player was picked with this.

Player profile - Drafted by ...
Direct to see under Name, team and bio

Scoring level on WCH U20 and senior WCH is too high


Draft order -> traded picks also with original team

Game Logs archive - also for older seasons. Or at least for the most interesting (for example goals > 12, records breaking game ...)

Export to CSV - Rosters, History, Statistics

Playoff Tree browser - Arrows, that will change the seasons (look to picture)

Historical Challenge
But now related to specific team position. For Example this season Toronto Maple Leafs. The Quest will be to make a champion from this team in 2 seasons.
Or Washington Capitals sellout before lockout (2004) - how fast could you win a cup?
Or Create a "Next Broad Street Bullies", but you must also win a Stanley cup
and more...

********
Long time ideas:
- Cloud saved games - Could it be possible to save a game direct to some Cloud? To synchronise play withh two or more PCs
- Very big monitors support - Many individual windows and every could show something others in detail

So for a lot of these, they can be done in-game already. It sounds like you just want this information in the Inbox, is that right? All I know is if they implemented all of this into the Inbox, I'd want the ability to individually select what kind of mail I get, because the sheer volume of messages I would get would make the game unpalatable for me. But that's me.

The Inbox could be more user friendly. And more editable, thats for sure.
But there are also others points.
