Pretty stoked that they have actually done SOMETHING after 2+ years or so.

I REALLY like all of the stuff they added.

Color coded dots are awesome and have been needed forever.
Edit Roster pages should be FAR easier to manipulate, especially in the case of a new guy taking over a team that only has a dozen players in AAA and AA.

KUDOS!! to ADMIN for this first step.

Looking forward to the rest.

Fancy. Lots of neat little tricks. It will be nice not having to add a note to every prospect I plan on having a chance to make the majors.

I feel like they missed one simple but very helpful update they could have done with this batch.
Before the regular season I wish there was no minimum roster size. It would make promoting and demoting players a lot easier before I start my minor league free agency.

It's cosmetic, but it's something, and it's useful.

Hopefully, a sign of better things to come.

They also added a column for Options which is pretty handy.

I really like how the color coded dots are on EVERY page. Whereas the note marker was only on the Edit Roster page.

Maybe I am not doing it right but I am not seeing "any player involved in a pending move is now highlighted for better tracking".

I have two such guys slotted for demotions just to see how this works and neither are highlighted.

Didn't notice the options column at first.  That is VERY nice.

Love the color coded dots.   Requested that years ago.

Nice.  Good ways of visualizing the mental notes I've had to keep for certain players.  The Options column is great!

I wonder if the classification rating stays with a player if traded. be interesting to see how good owners classify their guys as opposed to how you classify them for yourself. kinda like player notes when taking over somebody else's team

and I like the options column also

These are nice little cosmetic changes... but in the grand scheme of things, do they really attract new players, or even retain existing ones?

I'd like to see the entire game made more mobile-friendly. Either a mobile version of the website which is much easier to navigate from a touch standpoint, or a mobile app. Most of these WIS games are 10-15 years old now, and the people who might now be getting into them grew up more in a "touch" interface world, rather than a point-and-click.

Just my 2c on changes that could open things up to a new audience.

The notes do and I think this is similar to notes.

I'll add that anyone complaining should pop themselves in the sack.    We've screamed, for years, "UPDATES!!!!  WE WANT UPDATES!!!!"   Now they do some and within hours, some say "Meh, whatevs.   They should have done this......"

C'mon.

smoelheim,

I'm not sure that they attract new owners, no in and of itself, is it enough to retain older users, but the note about it being the first step in what they plan to be regular updates over the next handful of months has me excited. The game was in need of updating, even if the updates we/are most cosmetic, 2 years is a long time in the gaming world. Sounds like these changes make for a slightly better game, some are things I've definitely wanted for a while now.

I was a little confused by this at first as well, but it doesn't show up until you click the "add moves" button. I also only tried it for one guy, so that could be the difference as well.
