Sorting "shop now" offers in OOTP21

jsn87 · 03-03-2020, 03:30 PM

It would be nice to have more sorting options when you shop a player. Say I have a good player who is surplus, so I want to trade and get the best yield in return. Sometimes that generates a huge list and it's tedious to go through each profile. As it is, you can select and search by position only.

In particular, I'd like to be able to eliminate all the "fragile" prospects outright. Or add some of the parameters you have in the "find a player" tab: throws/hits, defense, potential, hometown, etc.

For example, I don't want to rule out all relievers, but I would only really consider a lefty. Or one with movement potential above 40. There's no way to do that now but clicking on dozens of profiles and trying to keep track of each.

For drafts and free agents, it would also be good to add "durability" as a search parameter. As it is, you can see who is fragile or iron man, but it would be helpful to just get rid of all the fragile ones, if you want.

I personally would like to have this myself. Eliminating certain parameters like injury proneness be great to have.

I like the concept. At its simplest form that would prove helpful is to take those very definitive attributes and skills through the Find Player prior to the Shop Now process, shortlist those players in a list, then have shortlisted players show up in the Offers screen. Bam! Those guys I'm interested in.

I don't think it does this in 20 does it?

Devs did say Find a Player interface has been upgraded to match the rest of the improved UI but I haven't seen any screenshots yets.

This is definitely near the top of the wants list now. Would be awesome in a sortable list to see easily spot players I'm already tracking on shortlists. Can't imagine it would even be that hard of a change.
