I have a significant problem with the new interface. As with many other people, I'm a bit color blind. The colors for potential, particularly between Low and Very Low, are virtually not distinguishable to someone with red / green color blindness (the most common type). I also have difficulty with the Average and Very High distinction. Does anyone know how to get this message to the developers? All I can do on help is search prior topics. Thanks.

The current colors are the result of some feedback regarding colorblindness. My guess is that the developers may not understand that there isn't just one type of colorblindness. The colors are now supposed to go green, blue, black, orange red.

You may need to send in a ticket to ask whether a separate user-setting (or two) could be added to assist with this issue. My own preference was to include Bold & Italics on the to distinguish between the High-High (currently Green) and Low (currently orange) from Low-Low (red). There may be a better fix that you could try to develop.

The reality is that WIS, as a wing of FOX, should take this opportunity to get user feedback from users that they could implement across platforms.

The very least they should do is to make it so a tooltip appears with the appropriate text when you hover the mouse over any rating indicating the color in text ("Green").

I'm not subject to this issue, but they gotta find a reasonable fix

We had a ton of people with color blindness in Beta. We tried several color combinations and this was agreed upon by most of those individuals. Unfortunately, we tried but it seemed like everyone had different color issues and there was almost no way to find a combination that worked for everyone.

This is one of the better suggestions that I've heard. That might be a user setting feature (on/off) that would start on "off", but might resolve this issue.

Yep Low and Very High look the same to me. That's really cool. wtf?

italics or tooltip sound like useful solutions - this is a nontrivial issue

Tooltips have been added to the ratings on the Player and Recruit profile pages.

The original (2008) "high" potential color was changed from green to blue because of input from color blind players. Curious they missed that with 3.0. Toolkit or not, smacks of disrespectful to those players to say the least.

Glad to see the fix.

there was a long sincere discussion by seble about colors on the beta forum - I think they were trying. Harder task with 5 colors, I think.

hope tooltip addresses most of remaining concern for those who have this issue

These tooltips also need to be added to the practice plan page and the manage roster page .. as well as viewing your page on www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=<team_id>

thats a poor choice by WIS

on a much smaller scale, a bunch of stuff doesnt work on slightly out of date versions of safari for me - work everywhere else on the internet just fine, but not HD 3.0 - so I cant do any scouting at home - only at work.....pointed out in beta and they dont care

i suppose it is to be expected, with the surge of users into the game, they can afford to ignore small groups of customers
