It's (I assume) the same as it was in v6.5. It's a report of all of a league's team's financial info - revenue, payroll, attendance, etc . . .

[BadluckinOOTP]

Any career fielding totals being added?

[turdfurgeson]

Wow, maybe for the next release you should consider releasing the game in the fall, because at the rate you are going I fear some of the board members may never get to see the sun.

[Cork55]

That list is looking very nice. Looks like it's time to dust off my UBL again.

[Exodor]

Added the option to erase all player career stats
The first half of the first amateur draft round is now protected from compensation picks

Wow.

I love you.

[JTWood]

The first half of the first amateur draft round is now protected from compensation picks.

This is certainly a pleasant surprise. I didn't know you guys were working on the compensation programming. Nice tweak!

[BigBen]

With all those changes with this new patch (tomorrow) is it better to restart my solo League ?
Thanks

I know I am waiting now. I would rather wait one more day than have to restart if things don't transfer over so well.

[turdfurgeson]

Marc,

What are the thoughts about how this patch will work with saved games or leagues? If they don't that is fine, but will they affect saved templates? Or are templates "safe" because the universe has not been created yet? I am not realy sure how this all works.

Thanks

Right now Marc and crew are releasing what are called "work in progress" patches, culminating in a "final 1.0.2" patch. Personally, if you haven't already started, I would recommend holding off any serious, long-term new leagues until that final, 1.0.2 patch has been released. It's not very far in the future, I believe.

Just my opinion, though!

Yep, looking at it right now, if memory serves it's pretty close to the exact same info.

It has rankings of the following:

payroll
attendance
gate revenue
media revenue
merchandising revenue
current budget

And then the top 25 player salaries, and then each of the individual team financial reports.
