Thank you. I don't know if anyone agrees but I don't really need the player # just position , which is helpful.
Cheers

I like both. There are a lot of names duplicated from league to league, or nearly duplicated. In one league, I have two WR both named J Thomas (or something similar). I get confused about who is who.

To add to this wishlist...
Would it be possible on replays to have the player position in please? eg: "CB John Smith tackles RB Smith Johnson....."

Cheers


That's not a bad idea - I'll put it on the list.


To caveat that, can you have the position on the field rather than the player positions? It would make more sense if you've say a 3rd string FS playing as SS for a few plays?

Or would that be too confusing?

Good question - I was thinking the player's assigned position but knowing what position they were on for the play would help in game planning - possibly if they are playing out of position doing something similar to how the player search results display that (i.e, a player is the 3rd string FS playing as SS for the play the play-by-play would say "Tackle by 24-FS Joe Smith (SS)" or "Tackle by 24-FS Joe Smith (as SS)" vs. if he was in his position "Tackle by 24-FS Joe Smith"

Thoughts?

Personally, I'd say "24-FS Joe Smith (as SS)" reads a bit wordy. "24-SS Joe Smith" would obviously be shorter and readable, but then people would think "Hmm, he's a FS". I always find I come up with suggestions that sound reasonable and have numerous implementation details ;)

Yikes...another request.

In the Offensive plays tab, you can filter personnel, but there is no mention of FB players, (even they are in the playbook).
There are 1 RB, 2 RB and even 3RB formations, one of which probably includes the FB, but it isn't clear.

The FB is considered a RB in the play filters.

That works
