Where is the old 6.5 standings view?

chargerrich · 04-07-2007, 10:02 AM

In 2007 when you are simming games, you get a screen that is very similar to the 6.5 view with standings, league leaders and news all on one screen, how do i access this when not simming games? I cannot find it anywhere....

Bluenoser · 04-07-2007, 10:06 AM

It's only available while simming.

chargerrich · 04-07-2007, 11:09 AM

Wow thats kinda lame....any thoughts on making this a normal view?

fantom1979 · 04-07-2007, 01:43 PM

darkenigma510 · 04-07-2007, 02:34 PM

Ditto.

Skywalker76 · 04-09-2007, 12:41 PM

Me too. In one screen you get all the information you need. Would be great to get access to this screen while not simming.

SSG Troyer · 04-09-2007, 05:06 PM

Markus' response during beta: The only thing that screen has that the League Homepage doesn't is a couple of leader boxes. You've already got news, standings, and six leader lists, and you also get upcoming schedule with starting pitchers and links to other league reports.

Our answer to that: Yeah, but we have to scroll. We don't wanna scroll.

Markus: I like it the way it is.

Qrusher14242 · 04-09-2007, 05:15 PM

dang that sucks

the most useful screen in the game and we only get it to see it during simming

Ksyrup · 04-09-2007, 05:31 PM

No offense to Markus, but this screen probably represents, in a nutshell, the entire issue with the interface for some of us. If I'm quick-simming, I'd like for the end-of-sim page to be the screen I see when the simming finishes so I can quickly see where things stand. I don't want to be automatically directed to the schedule page, then have to click over to the league home page, then scroll down, AND THEN click on the player/team I wanted to look at. I could accomplish in ONE CLICK from that screen what it takes several clicks and some scrolling to accomplish with the league home screen. And if he just put a link to News at the bottom of that sim screen page, in one click I could be at a page with nothing but news items if I wanted, instead of doing the same thing to get to the league home page.

At the very least, once simming concludes, we should be taken directly to the league home page, because that has the same info we could see if the sim page was up. Being taken to the schedule page is a worthless step, IMO. There's nothing on that page I want to look at - if I've just simmed a week or a month or a year, I want to take a couple of seconds/minutes to digest the standings and leaders before I sim forward, not immediately start simming again.

Ugh!

I thought that if you started your 'Auto-Play' on a certain page, it comes back to that same page.

Doughnuts? · 04-09-2007, 07:31 PM

Something that so many people have requested, again and again, I don't understand why we can't have access to that page. It's already there!

Agreed. And I'll say for the second time that I wish it were an option as well.

Queensryche · 04-09-2007, 08:20 PM

That's ******ed what Markus said about it. The manager home page is one giant convoluted mess. The sim standing screen has always been the best view. I don't ever use the Manager home page screen,and I find myself simming months at a time just so I can look at the simulated standings screen.

Put this in already! If you don't like it Markus,make it an option for the 5 thousand people that DO like it.

discodude5 · 04-09-2007, 09:15 PM

I really hate it when Markus says the reason something requested is not being done is "he likes it like that", reminds me of when kids are asked a question by parents and answer "because".

I too would really like to use that screen as the main page while simming games.

And Markus you're the man.

The same could be said of other screens as well. There are too many screens that are a convoluted mess, not just the Managers screen as someone mentioned, but even the Sim screen that everyone wants access to is more complicated than it needs to be (remember how easy it was to view and follow in earlier versions?). Not only the screens but some of the Reports as well are "convoluted messes". What is needed, which may exist, is the ability edit or customize screens and reports.
