One thing that is a little frustrating is when you use the scouting history tab. I love that I can see what, where and who I have spent my money on. But I get frustrated when trying to figure out which state is which from the scouting service.

Also, I know everyone is still trying to figure things out and get a lay of the land, but we need to move up recruiting or allow us to use attention points sooner. Like I said, I know we all need time right now to figure out how everything works, but once that is done, this is going to be a long wait and you forget what you have already planned in scouting these players. It would be nice to have some contact with the player to find out if we have a shot or if a bigger fish is going to eat our lunch right away. Trying to cram everything into a 3 day period toward the end of the season is not the best way in my opinion. Not saying we have to move signings and I know players aren't going to sign right away, but we have to have some contact sooner than we are.
?
I would be nice to have each states name listed instead. Not sure if this should go here or in the suggestions thread so I will put in both.

If you assign a player a Category (1-4; Blue-Green-Yellow-Red), I believe he will then show up on your Targets list. That would, effectively be the same as your old Summary List.

FYI: To assign a player to a Category, you simply click on the appropriate color when viewing the player card.

I also agree with Garger's comment about utilizing the full university/college name...how much effort would it take to simply code-in the word "State" instead of "St."???

Buddha suggested in another thread (figured I'd put in this one as well) to move EE decisions to occur before recruiting starts (which is before conference tournament? or national tournament?). This way teams get their recruiting budgets (they also could be allocated the extra scouting money for the per scholarship basis as well) for anyone that leaves before recruiting starts and aren't left having to scramble for whatever is left in the 2nd Recruiting period after the season.

The EE's wouldn't officially leave the team until after the season ends that way you would still have them for postseason play.

However, this seems like a simple fix to what could be a big EE problem at DI that could possibly destroy teams. Good suggestion buddha!

One small cosmetic change I would like - on the very top of the play by play, where you have the starting lineups (which is nice), you should have basic season averages for the players (like PPG, RBPG, APG, FG%, and FT% or something like that). For me personally, that would make the play-by-play more fun to read.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Appreciate the help. :)

When I click to see all the recruits I discovered at the camp it would be nice if it showed what state they were from next to their name. That way if I see a couple of guys I like from the same state I could decide to buy the FSS to get the next level of their potential unlocked.

Right now have to click on each player profile and log manually where they are from.

A point about aesthetics: Please spell out the full team name whenever possible and drop the simple, often misleading directional abbreviations. West Virginia is different from Western Michigan, East Carolina from Eastern Nazareth. North Texas is different from Northern Iowa and North Park. And is Texas A&M, Corpus Christie such a stretch from Texas A&M, Kingsville? And for goodness sakes, it's North Carolina, not UNC. And California, not Cal. Recognizable acronyms are OK (the Cal State and Univ.of California system schools, for instance, and the OTHER UNC schools, Univ of Texas system), but it looks better to have full school names included.

Agree completely on spelling out names of the teams with "West" and "State" and in Div-3 writing it as "Connecticut College", "Rhode Island College", etc, to distinguish them from Div-1 Connecticut (UConn), Rhode Island (URI), etc., same with Colorado College. Also would be a good opportunity to change it to "Detroit Mercy" and "Saint Louis".

.

Also, the font used for team names in the Standings page, which matches the play-by-play, schedule, and roster font, is too weak and light... instead, i would use the current HD font, or even the font used here in the forum messages that i'm typing with now.

.

Also, I always thought HD should have Providence as straight black-and-white like HD Long Island U and HD Bowdoin, rather than the gray-silver primary color.

If a recruit is "Ineligible" it would be nice if it was displayed on their player profile a little more prominently. I just discovered where it was located on there.

Wish it was easier to find scouted players. Searching is fine, but I'd like to have some sort of default list of scouted players so I can see I'm looking in the right place.

When grades appear in the assistant coach's email the players are ordered by year while in the practice plan they are ordered by position. It would be very helpful for these to be synchronized like they were previously.

Also, if you are going to abbreviate, use the school's preferred abbreviation. For instance, it's "ETSU," not "E. Tennessee St."
