Are there any information about when it goes to testing for everyone?

After surfing the new site for a week now here are my comments:

Overall layout could surely be better. Big banner windows, too big font size in some places, long dropdown menus (some links are basically doubly on same page). I wish it's more compact and understandable.

Random suggested player is a feature I don't like- when I want to buy a player I go to transfer market. But I think you could make it useful if I could set parameters for suggested player myself?

Short menu on left needs to be over looked. Some frequent links are missing from direct click (Weekly Stats, Schedule). And for example Scrimmages what are not used so often are on main page under BB-mail and also on Manage My Team. It is o.k. to have it just in last place.

Bring back right corner toolbar and make it possible to choose 5 favourite quicklinks from preferences!

Schedule page looks awful. I prefer more modest layout. Add one dropdown menu option where you can choose which games to show: like competitive games, league games, PL games...


I love more stats! Thank you.

Some other new features I like: team rank, player history, league headlines (move it on to league page and possible to see for every league), scrimmages search.

One suggestion for that I missed last Saturday: add to league table overview also some icon or note for teams who's online, similar to Tournaments icon.


Overall I think you are heading right direction. Hearing for users comments is very welcome. I'm sure together we can make the site better:)

Agree with others that the forum is a step in wrong direction.

You both remove the menu with new design and you add the avatar in it. Especially including avatars is something that I strongly disagree with. I think that it takes an awful lot too much space meaning that I will have to scroll even more for no good reason.

Overall I consider the new forum as an improvement but there are a way too big will to add things that makes the pages overcrowded!

I like the new page for "Set orders" with different Tactics Complexities using the AllStar option, but I wish to be able to sort the list of players (or have it sorted after minutes played first asc. and then surname). As it is now sorted after their surnames, it's not perfect.

Older than the rest ...

Good work with the chat. Yesterday, we were 14 people talking in the Chile vs Uruguay NT Game. With some promotion in the forums, many users went there.

I'm not sure if is possible, but a good upgrade in this ting will be to move up a little bit the chat window, or stretch the space between the Viewer and the Chat. It will be nice to fit on one screen, both the game and the chat.

The only solution I could fin was to donwsize the image with ctrl+scroll but then, I wasn't able to access the statistics of the game in the Viewer.

Good work though!

Thumbs up on the site.. im not one for change so i like the consistency in the layout.. visually it seems the same but with more stats....

The only thing ive stumbled across so far that seems pointless is the 'recommneded player'. That led me to my seasonal reflection on why do we have scrimmages?

Can a better solution be found than just sending out 4x scrubs and a top trainee or 3x scrubs and 2 trainees just to get training.

You can tell its becoming an issue as before you could buy scrubs for £1k.. now there are bigger auction battles for meaningless players than there are for some top players!!

Nobody learns anything from scrimmages and I hope it is on the agenda to revamp thursdays because as it stands its never worth watching your games.
