Career and single game records

Ootp is certainly a fantastic game....probably unequalled by anything since front page sports football. One quibble only - the screens for career and season leaders is an abomination. Not intuitive, hard to read, difficult to navigate and not easily accessible. Anyone else agree?

Is there a better way to present the data? Has there been an update to the screens in ootp15. Has there been a reformatting of any of the data screens in ootp15?

Completely disagree if you are talking about what I have below. Otherwise your going to the wrong screen. Takes 2 secs to access, easy to read and easy to navigate.

That's the screen. Too much clicking in and out. Should be more organic. I gate having to click in and out of each one. The main screen is cluttered. It's just not easy on the eye.

This is the most fun page to go to. It should be more accessible and sortable

What would be your ideas to make it more accessible or sortable?

I know what I wouldn't want to see is for it to look like baseball-reference.com's leaders page

MLB & Baseball Leaders & Records - Baseball-Reference.com

For me that is too much clicking.

Love BBreference as a site though.

How else are you going to see the leaders lists without clicking in and out? Put them all on one page? THAT would be a mess.

I think this might actually be my favorite screen.

Always up for something being presented better but I actually quite like the way it is presented. You see all the single season and career leaders on a page and if you want to dig deeper you do some clicking. Not sure how this could be presented better with less clicking.

One possible improvement could be a split screen so that the overview screen is always visible.
