Don't forget the interface!

I only recently purchased OOTPB, and I have to say I love it. I've been playing BBM for years. OOTPB is far superior in it's simulation and information. There are tons of posts about feature wishes, however my biggest gripe is the interface.

1) Sifting through all the teams to get to the team(s) that I'm directly controling is a bit irritating. Some kind of default to the human controlled teams would be nice.

2) Cross linking actions from the player data screen. i.e. put on trading block, etc. In general cross linking from screens to relevant places and actions.

3) Have an individual team calender, similar to the way BBM does it. It's much less cluttered and simpler to use. The look is already there, in the promotion calender.

4) I like the auto-pilot sim mode. Perhaps let the AI run my team, with me having veto over trades and FA's.

5) Hot keys, hot keys, hot keys.

Would def want #4 to be an option. I certainly like playing/simming on my own..

But great idea. I liked them.

The interface is getting a major overhaul for the next version, so I'm betting a lot of this will be fixed. Number 4 is an interesting idea. I would love to see it.
