What would the Facelift be? Topic

What do you think this site needs most? We all know changes need to be made, but what are the biggest things?  Site layout (this site is still laid out like it's the early 2000's), a mobile app, D1 recruiting and recruit generation overhauled, D1 job logic overhauled are some things I think of right away.

What else needs to be improved guys?

thorough revision of color scheme...he said sarcastically

lots of good threads over the last couple of years about improvements - I am especially fond of improvements that would be easy, involve few likely unforseen consequences but would improve the experience.  Re-doing the game engine tends to be a bad suggestion on that scale

My number one easy fix - make the first cycle longer than 2 hours - like allow coaches to enter first cycle moves during say the preceeding 5 or 7 hours.  First cycle matters and having it extra short is silly.

The Hoops Dynasty layout, clarity and ease of use are all excellent. Easy navigation. Please keep it the same.

To me, Hardball Dynasty in comparison was really difficult to navigate and read. I sucked in it, but besidss that, i didnt like that the game used icons on the top of each column. Half the time i didn't remember what each column represented... plus there were dozens of columns without spacing, and when 25 players were listed under ghe columns i found it to be a nightmare to quickly read the ratings.

To me, Gridiron Dynasty was a solid game, but i thought there were just too many settings that needed to be monkeyed around with. Not sure i care about fine tuning each down etc to such a micro degree. But that's just me.

Hoops Dynasty is a great mix of clean graphics, great strategy, and enough variables without going crazy. Great intangibles like scheduling, redshirting, GPA, etc.

Also, i played 1 year of Soccer Dynasty but it didn't grab me. Again, tough graphics and confusing worlds and player contracts, though i probably should have given it more time. WIS could easily develop a College Soccer Dynasty using the Hoops Dynasty mold. There is an online game from England that used to be great but had a stupid name, called footiemanager.

That footiemanager game had every European team from like 10 different countries, with 2 divisions per country, except England and Scotland had 4 divisions. It provided promotion and relegation, and you could sign free agents, set ticket prices, and gameplay set up was very similar to Hoops Dynasty. The players had 10 attributes each, with shooting, heading, marking, speed, athleticism, etc. Each skill could grow depending on training.

Again, very similar to Hoops Dynasty. Not sure if that game exists anymore. One issue was it was expensive, 10 English pounds per season, though each season lasted 8 months for the 38 games, plus it had a Champions League feature and an FA Cup feature. There was no recruiting unfortunately because it was the pro's, and if you bought a guy at 18 years old, you could hold and develop him for 15 seasons... the rich teams would horde elite players for years and years, whereas the college game would have a constant replenishment via recruiting and graduation. Anyway, don't tell me college soccer in WIS wouldn't be cool...!

We'll start by pulling the skin around the forehead tight so as to reduce lines around the eyes, and finish with a similar process around the upper chest and shoulders so we can get rid of one or two of those chins....sound good????
