I wonder if it's just a re-titling of the Players tab, or if there's more to it.

Most likely, looks like the transactions tab is gone too

Manage team option at bottom of daily lineup. instead of having a RH - LH lineups looks like you can set various lineups here

You could do that with Custom Lineups in the current one, too.

I may need to fiddle with custom lineups a little more. I found in the past that it got a little tedious going in and setting several days of lineups that usually ended up being changed right before game time.

Or maybe I just haven’t gotten the hang of playing with seven day lineups.

Looking at the screen shot, there's no longer a button to load the lineups. I see "Clear all lineups' where it always was.

Also, is it now just 6 days across? A bit of a nuisance for those of us who are used to 7 day lineups.

Actually, yeah, I hadn't noticed that but that's pretty annoying if you can't even see 7 days anymore.

It might be based on screen size, but also I'm not sure I understand the significance of needing to see 7 Days at a time specifically.

While it might be nice for the few who want to set 14 day lineups, although I'm not sure of the value in that, for the many who use 7 day lineups for our online leagues it's convenient to see you week laid out in from of you. People think in the context of a 7 day calendar, baseball schedules are usually built on a seven day calendar with series ending on Sunday.

While it's not a huge extra effort, I'm never in favor of screen layout that requires extra keystrokes every time.

Now saying that, I don't know if there will be options allowing us to set up the screen how we like it. I'm basing this on what I saw on a screen shot in this thread.

I like being able to plan my lineups for the week right now, and having to instead check in every 6 days (and/or scroll and not be able to see as far behind/ahead when making lineups) will be a negative impact to my experience relative to the current setup.

Is it a dealbreaker? Of course not. I was just agreeing with the feedback that it would be nice when they re-work and improve features to try to keep the upgrades to the "strict improvement" variety so that it doesn't end up taking steps backwards for those who use the existing feature.

@ 2560x1440 resolution, I have 10 days' worth of daily lineups visible on my screen.

That is even better! Awesome

Yeah, often screenshots for social media tend to be on smaller windows as things tend to line up better. I think smaller screens will be as few as 5, and as pstrickert said, larger monitors should be able to display up to 10 or so.

OK, then what gets me 7?

This is a big deal for me. I found out the hard way that seven day lineups were only for the next week. Duh, I know. Somehow I was surprised and hurt that the team would revert to an AI lineup after that. Since I try to set lineups at the beginning of the season for each team, that was frustrating - to go back in each week and re-set. A month at a time seems about right. That’s along enough to go in and re-evaluate and makes changes due to slumps and injuries. A good sample size, in other words. This is the kind of small change that means a lot.
