You're right, I think I missed that. Thanks for the question.

You're also right in that there is no comprehensive documentation about what is where. One of the hazards of doing this part time and trying to reduce the time between updates.


Thanks,

While we are on the subject of sortable player stats and team stats, I was hoping the new UI would add features instead of just recycling what already exist.

For instance, the sortable player stats (once ported) should have added filters so it's easier to find specific data.

Example:

I want to find the defender with the best (lowest) pass allowed percentage. As it exist now, I have to flip through pages upon pages of 0.0% for every player in the league. If you add filters, I could simple ask for best pass allowed percentage with a filter of a minimum of 20 passes defended.

OR

I want to find the best ALLTIME CAREER QBR but only for QBs with 1000 pass attempts.

OR

I want to find the QB with the best or worse completion percentage for a career but I want it limited to QBs with 1000 career pass attempts.

Thanks for that suggestion. The good news is that with the new framework those kind of additions will be significantly easier than the old framework, again one of the reasons for the change. The old framework just didn't give a lot of flexibility; I wanted to get it to at equal features before adding additional features, but there are already a few additional features I've thrown in that don't exist in the old UI and may do more before we officially turn off the old UI.

I can not get in to my league on the new site anymore. I get an error message every time now.

I have been meaning to weigh in with some thoughts on the new UI for a long time, but have been incredibly busy.

There are two basic principles to go by in this type of process.

1. Don't lose any features
2. Don't make unnecessary changes

Here is what I can recall coming up with:

The big violation I have seen against principle 1 is the graphical game planning for Offense and Defense (the sliders on the field). I use graphical exclusively, and will hate it if that is not available on the new site.

Everything about the player cards violates principle 2. It opens to the details page instead of the attributes. The attributes are in a completely different order so it is ridiculously frustrating trying to find where they are. I like to arrange my opponents offense or defense as they would be on the field with the player cards for planning purposes, but confining them to a bar on the side violates both principles.

The new depth chart just looks terrible. It likely depends on the display, but mine puts the LT up on the first row next to the WR's, and then the rest of the O-line down below on the second line. Just aesthetically awful. I understand the drag and drop doesn't work well for mobile, but that's a significant lost feature of the depth chart. On PC it is much quicker and easier than all the clicking the new UI now requires.

I don't believe the player position restrictions are what the community was looking for at all. Every player should be able to move either up or down one position group for a position change. This is where the restrictions are way too tight, there are way too few opportunities to change positions. As far as the depth chart, you have it right, where players can only get into positions within their group, but there should also be a weight check to be sure the player is at least close to the weight they need to be for a position. You don't want to allow somebody to change a WR to RB for the championship game and jump right in and run all over the opponent because they are WR weight listed as a RB.

Thanks for all your work on the site, but I hope that some of these things will be addressed. I also hope that you won't shut down the old site prematurely, the new one still seems to have a long way to go.

Me too.

When I click the link to goto the new site, and when I load a bookmark of the new site, I always have the error page.
Refreshing the page takes me to the new site location.
The issue occurs on all platforms, pc, ipad, kindle, and phone; and includes the big 3 browsers (chrome, explorer, and Firefox browsers across those platforms).
