These may have already been added here or somewhere else but in an effort to address time investment issues I would like to see the ability to FSS multi-states like can be done currently and not have to click and buy each state individually.

.

Also, I would like to see an option to sort discovered players by their preferences. I think it will be really time consuming to click on hundreds of players to find which ones play my preferred offense and defensive sets and which ones want to play far away or near home.

This suggestion isn't necessarily specific to this update but I'd love to be able to view the first half box score after reading the first half play-by-play but before reading the second half pbp and without seeing the outcome of the entire game. I always read the pbp and I often wonder about shooting percentages, turnovers, etc. after reading the first half pbp. I think adding that feature would really improve the overall experience.

FSS multiple states yes.

So guys have preferences to play fast and to be interior based or perimeter based. Well I can and often do 2 of those 3. Do I get credit for both or just one? Is there a way of knowing how my offense is categorized?

Why ask for an Offensive preference that we cannot gameplan for?

Call me crazy too, but I think Red Green and Black are fine. If you look at it hard irl--there are not exact projections.

I don't even like being able to uncover the exact digit let alone a more specified range of improvement.

Potential is an educated guess at best. (Moneyball Billy Beane).

How many NBA picks who went ahead of lower picks end up being worse.

Bob Knight and Coach K participated in a study trying to ID 13 YOS who would end up playing HS basketball. They correctly chose 25%.

Different I know as 13 YOS aren't grown men (are 17YOs), but some of the same principles apply

Please revisit the colors. Red, orange and yellow are warm colors. Blue, green, purple and violet are cool colors. You use cool colors for good potentials, and that is fine. But you use one warm color and one cool color for bad potentials -- confusion reigns. And the purple is almost indistinguishable from the blue or even the green on some screens. How about ditching that purple in favor of (logically) a warm color such as orange. For example, red - orange - (black) - green - blue would follow the order of the wave lengths. Remember "Roy G Biv" from your grade school days? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Thanks for considering this.

When viewing a boxscore, it would be preferred to show the Totals initially by default instead of the 1st half results.

Like this idea a lot too.

I don't have time to read through all these suggestions. Perhaps this has been said.

1. I want to be able to make several scouting trips at one time - for example, I don't want to have to pick ONE guy, scout him up a level, scout him up again, etc. I want to be able to pick X number of guys that I like and move them all up at once. This would save a lot of time.

2. I see the categories 1,2,3, 4 and I saw someplace that seble said this replace priority level. But I can't figure out how to tag a recruit to say "this guy is a 1" etc.

3. It's really annoying that it's so hard to find all the recruits I've scouted. This should be very easy. But I have to click all kinds of buttons to find ALL the guys I scouted. I can go to my camp and there's a little bitty button at the top that says something to the effect of "click here to see all scouted players". This should probably be the default in my opinion.

4. I really think 4 levels of discovery are excessive. Can we eliminate a level at least? I could live with 4 levels if maybe we could see all the recruits...

5. I'm really 'eh' about the letters then we go to numbers issue. I realize this adds an element of discovery, but it just feels like noise to me. It seems like it will just add the requirement for cheat sheets. I guess I could get used to it, but I'm not enjoying the experience so far.

This - yes, along with keeping lows & average regular (not bold) - and bolding the highs.

The other issue for color-blind folk is red/orange can be too close of shades, and so can blue/purple. I do like the green bold for high-high with blue-bold for high.

Make recruit targets sortable by position. Thanks.

When you enter Team via the results tab to view your game, your won lost record is at the top of the page! I knew the result before I could see the result in PbP mode!

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.

seble - would you consider creating a locked pinned thread that provides us a list of suggestions you are working on or considering? Possibly include ones you've seen but aren't addressing at this time.
.
It feels like a lot of ideas get thrown around on the forums and it's hard to know what you've seen. I think it might help if we were all aware of ideas and tweaks you're considering.

I really like this idea.

I'd like to know if the change to the Level 1 scouting is being considered or if there is absolutely no way. Save me some time complaining about it.
