Expand Standings Graph?

Is there a way to expand the standings graphs, like a way to make it bigger? I really like them, but I noticed in an 8-team division I have that 1 team is in red, 1 is in white, and all 6 of the others are some variation of blue and I just can't make it out. That's not the only reason why I'd like to expand, I just like looking at charts like this even when the colours are distinct, but I find it's especially bad with this one and I'd like to expand it without completely re-doing my team home pages.

I don't know how you could expand it without changing the box sizes on your home page? I set my custom window to something like three columns and three rows. On an ultra wide monitor it is huge.

Also are you using the "division graph" or the "division graph +/-"? The plus minus one is all I've used since it was introduced. Much easier to see.

What I would like to have is if you mouse over a team on the bottom of the chart that team's line would be highlighted. Adding this to the division +/- graph would allow one to easily sort/see teams that have similar colors.

Yeah, I know I can do that, but I don't want to have to switch back and forth.

Like look at this one for MLB, it's so big it's so easy to read. I also love the extra touch with the team logo at the end.

Oh, +/- definitely. Yeah, it's way better. I'd be surprised if someone preferred the other.

Oh, that's a great idea! I'm sure it wouldn't be easy to do however, but maybe!

I figured you knew. I was just saying I can't really think of a way to go bigger without changing the window size. Unless they could make it like some of the html pages and open in a browser? I'm not a coder so I really have no idea.

I see that graph is done by "games played" with 42 games being the most. How does it look when a 100+ games have been played? Same size and scrunched or do they make it bigger?

The logo on the end of each line is a great touch. Adding that to OOTP would be a great help in those teams with similar colors.

Thought I'd mention it on the off chance you somehow missed it as an option when it was added to the game. I did not think that was likely, but it wouldn't be the first time someone posted something like, "wow I didn't know they added that". As a long time user I do on occasion see someone mention something I didn't realize was there. It's rare, but it does happen.

No idea on how easy to code. I do know I've had games where clicking something like the team name removes it from a graph and then re-clicking puts it back.

The "team logos at the end" in your linked chart if added might do as good a job, or better, than my idea of highlighting team lines with mouseovers, or clicking on a team for that matter.

Like you I really like these charts. I also agree it would be nice to have a way to make them easier on the eyes.

Thank you!

Do you have a wishlist thread? Maybe you have some other gems in that head of yours. I searched the suggestions board and couldn't find one.

Nothing off the top of my head, aside from UX improvements like a more intuitive way to save your colors/logos/uniforms and import them into another game.
