One of the things I like about this game is the more you put into it the more you get out of it, but the games still remain close. Adding this option takes away the fun of actually going out and looking for the talent, this option exists right now IF you can be arsed to go looking.


I don't see it as much different than what you can currently do. Right now you can see these ratings going position by position in player search. This would just add the ability to do it player by player also.

Also, if you want to do this research DURING the draft, it is currently very tedious, and sometimes impossible because of how slow everything runs (and times out). I'm speaking of allocation drafts here of course.

Exactly its already there, it doesn't need dumbing down.

I haven't had any problem with this at all, sometimes a wee bit laggy, but overall its been pretty good for me.

Some people dont have all the time to do that many searches because they are at work, I have np with it being "dumbed" down. I am home mostly because I am disabled but others dont have the time i do

In fact, I think we should go the total opposite route. In order to do a position search, each user should have to complete a complex algorithm, thus ensuring only the most dedicated of users are able to creatively scout. If they don't have the time or interest, that's their choice, after all.

In all seriousness though, making the process easier still requires the individual to actually do it. I'm all for making the game more accessible for casual users.

You ruined it with that last paragraph, shame.

I know I have made this suggestion before but I really think this would be a great help in drafts, specially now that we are getting into the latter rounds. It would be great if we could have a search function in the draft class that allows us to search for all players besides kickers. I dont know about others but a lot of times it times out on me and I get the 504 message or I can never get past page 5-6 on the draft board. The first 4 pages are just full of kickers and punters

Yeah with draft picks every 2 mins, you can go into search and not even turn the next page because the draft is updating.

I am having trouble making it past page 4 right now. Then it just comes up with no players on the page
