Some Suggestions for Improvement

JudP · 04-20-2023, 01:27 PM

I'd like to put out a few suggestions to see if anyone agrees that these might improve the game experience:
(1) When you go into a mission, have the current lowest sell price for the player under his name so that you don't have to click on every player to see if you can afford them. I think it would stimulate more tournament completions.
(2) When selling players from the sell screen, allow a selling price to be entered for multiple players, which would be nice, provided the current lowest sell price is populated (sometimes it's just all "0").
(3) Regarding the PT Draft Tournaments... Look at some possibilities to speed up the setup of the PT draft tournaments. It can be time-consuming, and an unforeseen interruption to your drafting time can wreak havoc on your team composition. Possibly there could be fewer rounds with more players selected in each round. And maybe there could be a draft assistant that drafts your team after setting a couple of parameters (e.g., favor hitting, favor defense, favor veterans, favor power, favor speed, etc...)
(4) Regarding the regular Tournaments... Could there possibly be a function that the owner can activate to allow a Diamond, Gold, Silver, Bronze or Iron team to be reentered in a tournament if it has completed one? I'm thinking this would be so helpful on days when you are out and you miss tournaments.

I'm curious as to what others think.

Thanks

I absolutely disagree.

If you don't have the time to enter a tournament that leaves open spots for others.
With your suggestion, the top teams would fill tournaments 24/7 without giving others a chance.

If you want to compete in tournaments you at least should take the time to enter your team yourself

3 I don't play draft Ts as I haven't enjoyed my time with them and that probably leads to your point that they need improvement.

4 I doubt they would do just because they probably want you to interact with it, but yeah, that'd be nice. EDIT: Germaniac brings up a good point, but you could limit it somewhat, like 1 renewal.

1 would be great and why not do it. It would save so much time. Although, you could use the "search all cards..." button.

2 I'm not sure if you mean selling multiples of the same player or just multiple different players. Either would be useful I suppose, multiple different players especially so.

4 of my own (you triggered my memory):

1) Similarly to your #2, I'd like to be able to set a buy price for multiples of the same player for speculation purposes, but I doubt they'd go for that.

2) I'd like to see the overall rating on the "your card orders" screen.

3) I'd also like to be able to sort the "your card orders" screen.

4) On the buy order screen I'd like to see the actual # of last sales, and preferably even the exact data on those last 10. I don't think I've ever not seen it say "last 10 sales" when I'm pretty sure I've seen expensive cards when they first came out. If the average price is based on only 1 sale there's next to nothing to that, whereas if there truly have been 10 sales then there is. There should obviously be a time component too, but we can take baby steps.

I really don't get your comment. I didn't say OPEN tournaments... I said tournaments specific to a level (Bronze, Iron, etc). I win those fairly often and I don't have the top teams. In fact, I have beaten the top teams with the right player combinations. And to further prove my point, I have had teams with all highly rated players at that level and they have been beaten by teams that appeared thrown together with low-rated players that don't hit or field well. I'm just trying to get you the opportunity to possibly win some more packs.

Thank you so much for your feedback... As regards # 2, I meant any card... either multiples or singles. I just mean it is time-consuming to go into each card to sell it for so many low-level cards. All I really need is to see the lowest sale price to get an idea of whether I want to go lower or higher. If I really needed more info, then I might open the card sell box. But it would be great if I had a bunch of players that were only worth 10 to 40 points each and I could just enter the prices I want on the sell cards screen and click enter.
