OOTP 17 - Interface discussion - Page 2

Most of these suggestions aren't actually on-topic folks. He was asking about feedback on the interface.

On THAT topic, I do find the organization of information on the interface to be quite non-intuitive. Most of the time when I go to look for information, I have to LOOK for it, instead of going right there.

Team and league reports should be easier to find. As it is, team reports are buried under the team menu -> Team Info -> Team Reports Home, and the league reports are similarly structured.

I'd recommend moving the "Reports Home" menu to the top level of the team/league menu and then putting the reports in a submenu of that.

I really miss being able to use backspace to go back to the previous page.

Reports are very easy to find

Go to the Reports home page - select from dropdown or menu laid out on right - all reports for league are available.

For team pages, it would be nice to have a link to the reports on the team main opening page. However I realize there are tons of menus and we can't just keep adding more to every page. After all - it's only 2 clicks to get to the reports tab

My only problem with reports is I bookmarked Team Power Rankings and it always just takes me back to the main reports page

MizzouRah · 09-09-2015, 10:58 AM

On the lineups screen at the bottom, would like to see a few stats like we can for the pitchers. (maybe BA/HR/RBI). Have it handed specific too, if looking at vs LHP then the stats would reflect that. I like to just glance at the bottom, which is great for my pitching staff.. but for lineups, nothing is there.

MizzouRah · 09-09-2015, 11:01 AM

Would be neat to have the current and career stat line at the top of the profile like the picture below..

anthonywvalentine · 09-09-2015, 11:27 AM

Id love more filter options. Filter by draft year? By round? Filter by personality traits? Leader/work ethic/greed/intelligence/etc. Filter injury rating as well.

Also in the transaction screen, can we be able to sort by the up/down arrow for when a player is ready to be moved? Currently we can sort by position, name, ratings but can the arrow be made as a sortable field?

That is a little too ESPNish for me.

I would like to see what playing out games that we have the little fire or snowflake in the batter's or pitcher's bar to know if a player is on a streak.

Germaniac · 09-09-2015, 12:03 PM

Different sorting in "Live Game Webcast" ...

The latest scoring should be at the top - so when you have a high-scoring game (and/or double-header) you could stay on top of things.

Also, I would love to have the option to auto play up to my team's game.

Right now I can auto play until next game, but if my team plays a late west coast game, I either have to set the speed to 300 to get to the game faster or to quick play all other teams. An option to auto-sim up to my team's game would be helpful.

jpeters1734 · 09-09-2015, 01:26 PM

my biggest complaint is that we cannot save custom stat views and filters from year to year

gosensgo101 · 09-09-2015, 04:24 PM

On the strategy screen, the player pool resets to all players instead of staying with the subset (batters or pitchers) you had selected each time you set a player to force start.

gosensgo101 · 09-09-2015, 04:28 PM

Also an "On Shortlist" filter would be nice.

Tyler87898 · 09-09-2015, 04:49 PM

Not quite sure if this is considered interface (which means it probably is not lol - I'll also post this in the suggestions forum). For me at least, it's a bit annoying when I am looking to make a trade and I want to go through all the teams in my league. Instead of going up and clicking to select the team I want to trade with, it would be nice if we could put the cursor over that drop down and just scroll up/down with the mouse wheel.

It would also be nice to be able to copy/paste trade offers to other teams so I don't have to drag out the same players every time I change teams.

Would also be nice if we could assign certain views to either batters or pitchers. For example, I made a draft view only for batters, so it would be cool if I could assign it to batters (meaning, whenever I open up that view, the position being viewed would be changed to batters).

r0nster · 09-09-2015, 04:57 PM

I want career stats on all stats that can only be seen for each season (example team vs team. And how players do against other teams) managers record per month and record against other teams. Would love to see more record keeping streaks to be done both as individually and as team. Even breakdown as how player career numbers while playing for a team much like baseball reference. Com. I like stats that can be found in a media guide and plenty more immersion

Bluenoser · 09-09-2015, 05:44 PM

Any chance of making these columns in the Off Season Centre sortable? Not so much by player name, (extended my highlight too far) but by the other 4 columns would be nice.

timfairman · 09-09-2015, 05:50 PM

I would like to see the game is not responding fixed I see this just about every time I start a game this has been for me the last three versions 14,15,& 16 please try to fix this issue.

DreamTeams · 09-09-2015, 06:20 PM

Bring back the scrolling scores at bottom of home page. Was such a sporty touch.

BKL · 09-09-2015, 07:12 PM

I'd like to see an option where you can sort players in a list by tag. So, for example, if you wanted to compare three players in a list, you just tag each three and then click on the tag column heading so they move to the top.

BKL · 09-09-2015, 07:14 PM

I'd like to be able to adjust column size. Some columns are too big and I'd rather use the space to see more of another column.
