General complaint about Tournament rosters

[HRBaker]

Too d$%m time consuming once you surpass the 200 card limit.


Trying to move players between active-reserve-inactive rosters becomes a huge chore when you have too many cards. The 200 card limit should either be significantly increased or the limits should be lifted until your ready to submit.


It shoudn't take hours to get players moved around. I have only 650+ IRON cards for the IRON tournaments and it takes me forever to get the right players to the active/reserve rosters.

Try dumping everything allowable off the active and reserve rosters and then work from the card management section for promotions to the active roster.

That there still isn't a 'sandbox' mode that can be used to craft tournament rosters is mind boggling.

This. Great comment.

I should be able to go into 'manage rosters' and create a lineup for any tourney at any time.

That helps, but its still a pain in the butt. As others have suggested, we should be able to enter a mode where all our tournament rosters are listed and we can manipulate each one with an active and reserve roster... InActive rosters are not necessary in tournaments.


I suspect the tournament rosters, in truth, aren't really separate rosters but specially labeled players from the master list which limits what they can do as far as creating an independent area to manipulate them.


If so, bite the bullet and move a copy of those players to a new sandbox and build a better UI for tournaments.

I agree with this, including the part about tournament rosters likely being a subset of the main game rosters. That would explain the inability to move players around outside of an actual tournament. I've just gotten into the habit of using the card manager and old-fashioned pen and paper to construct rosters, then moving cards from inactive to active in the ten minutes or so before the first game. It's not ideal, but it does work (for me at least).
