What Do You Think Of The New HBD Design? Topic

Why can't they make the homepage customizable? That way you change the links to your own liking. Want links at the top and standings on the bottom? You should be able to move them around how you llike
I'm no expert by any means, but that doesn't seem impossible to me from a programming standpoint.

I just spotted a display bug when a "huge trade" is completed. The third player's picture overlaps into the notifications center in the right-hand column.

After taking more time to get used to things i must say i still hate it.Changing lineups and resting players definitely takes longer and like raidersfan and MikeT23  have said i`ve found myself spending much less time on the site.The contrast on the screen type is terrible and now i find i don`t even bother making as many changes as usual just to avoid the site.I`m in the 50 something don`t use my mobile for games category so i know the changes weren`t designed for me but as someone who`s had 7-10 teams forever i definitely enjoy it less and can`t see myself taking on any new teams in the future or rebuilding current teams when the time comes so unless something changes for the better they have just pushed me slowly away from the game.Hopefully they bring in more young mobile users than they lose old PC users because the game itself is great but the 2 big updates have done more harm than good to most users i`ve talked too.Getting new customers is important to any business but keeping your established customer base happy is just as critical and i`m afraid WIS took us for granted with all the changes made this year.I loved seeing the effort finally put in but they changed too much too fast imo.

I agree with everything jc44 wrote and I would add that WIS did something similar with an update in GD 3 years ago driving away the majority of their long-time base and GD has never recovered. I will be playing out my seasons on HBD and then returning my sole focus to SimLeague baseball until they mess that up too

I agree with jc44, as well. At first I was excited that they made it more geared toward mobile devices. But it really does not work well, and does not have the Bling to bring in more users in a big TV campaign. I'll probably be out after my current seasons.

The new homepage is now much better than before in my opinion. The link on the homepage between world office and standings does not work for any of my teams using either chrome or edge browsers. It does not matter what the notification says

The link mentioned in the quoted post does not work for me either..

And allow customization of the home screen color and text color.

just had a quick first look. i like the way when you change a pitcher's role it changes it right away, then you save. also hugely glad if you make a mistake it doesn't just return everything to how it started before you made any changes. it lets you re-categorize the players correctly afterwards.

I see that you are starting to promote the new HBD. No, things still do not format correctly on my smartphone. Standings do not show the team names, box scores do not show the player names. Get it right before you take it to Broadway. Otherwise, you are done for. I think this is your Waterloo moment.

Has anyone else noticed the quick links box covering the bottom 3 teams in the trade chat screen using android?

Is 'send invitations' link broken or am I missing something?

That page is kind of hard to find, for one thing (which is a pain when you need to extend the privacy deadline, as well), but when I click the link to send an invitation it just takes me back to the View Open Worlds/View Private Worlds page.

I like most of the update, but I hate the color scheme and small text. It is hard for me to read. Playoff bracket page is absolutely terrible.

I'm with keeid. I like most of the update, but DETEST the small text and lack of contract in the box scores. It makes reading play-by-play very difficult.
These changes won't drive me away from HBD, but we've had one owner who asked to be replaced, and another who is contemplating leaving the game.
