we got one...
Quick update on the recruiting changes. I lost a few weeks of time helping out with things related to the Hardball Dynasty update, but I'm back working on recruiting full time now. I've gotten a good start on building the new pages and some of the back-end processes to handle the new flow of recruiting. I'm consulting with our resident math expert on some of the numbers to make sure things balance well between the various scouting actions and the team budgets.
We've also started getting some designs put together for the new user interface. It will be more of a refresh than a drastic change.
We're probably still a few months away from getting a beta test running. I want the new UI to be in good shape before starting that up.
I want to say again that things are still fluid in how the new system works. I got tons of great feedback from you guys and there are still some legitimate issues to work out. And I fully expect things to change during testing as we see what works and what doesn't. So please keep an open mind going forward.
like he said, we were a few months away to start, and now, we are still a few months away. i think that is pretty clear. presumably, in a few months (which we are almost at now), he'll let us know if its still a few months or if now its only a couple months. also, feel good, because he is consulting with a math expert (yay!) and still maintains the position that he is open to changes in beta testing.
i would bet the next update is very similar to this one, with the possible exception that "a few months" may actually be down to "a month or two" which of course will take more like a few months. also i suspect if he was ready to move past "a few months out" now, he'd tell us. so its probably safe to assume we are still a few months out at this point.
