Suggestion from an Online League Commish

[BretRock]

As a league that does the draft live outside the game, it would be much easier if there were a way when processing it in-game if I could search for a player.

The first round is usually relatively easy to do, but when you get to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds, it becomes cumbersome to try and find the player in a huge list.

If there was a way to type in a last name or something of that nature, it would make my life much easier.

Search function, top right of game window works. Click the magnifying glass is, type in last name and hit enter.

But I think, could be wrong, that would take you out of the draft page so you couldn't then draft the player you just found. I think the OP would like to be able to search for then draft said player on the draft page.

This is correct. It's good to be able to search, but I am talking specifically about being able to use it to select players in the draft and Rule 5.

Pretty sure if you right click on the player, one of the options is to "draft" the player.

I'm gonna try this out next draft. If it doesn't actually work, then I agree some search function within the draft window would be nice.

Yes, there probably is, but that still means I have to locate the player manually first.

It'd be better if in the draft screen I could just type in Thomas and all the players from that draft that are named Thomas would show up and I just pick the right one and draft him.

Rather than what I have to do now (at least as far as I know), which is to either sort alphabetically or by position or whatever and then look through the lists until I find the person.

It's not the worst thing in the world, it's just time-consuming so I figured I'd throw it out there.

Appreciate the back and forth.

just a bump to have this considered for v18
