Feedback Part 2 - Players and Scouting, UI

Regarding Players:

1. Would it be possible to have less of a dropoff in POS skill for similar positions? If a player is 80 at DE, shouldn't drop down to single digits just for DT, for example.
2. Could player NAME be editable just like # and position now (online leagues)? We can "self-service" number changes but not names.
3. I think we should have more flexibility for depth chart positions without having to open them up completely. For example, here are some subs that can be opened up:
* You can put in a RB for WR but not the other way around.
* OL for TE. This happens all the time, a "tackle eligible" play.
* We can substitute SS for LB but not FS
* We can substitute LB for SS but not for FS
* We can't put CB in for SS or FS

Scouting:
If we're using the description grading system for scouting, can't unscouted ratings just be blank? It'll make the grid of players cleaner to look at.

General UI:
The font is much crisper in many areas but still in "watch game" it's a little small. While I like having the team and player stats together without having to use the dropdown, maybe putting the dropdown back in will save some screen real estate. For those of us who are "of a certain age" it's very difficult to play on a laptop, I had to get reading glasses just for that. 2025 is an improvement, but maybe just go up one more font size? I don't think a huge size increase is needed.Another way to save screen real estate in-game is that maybe the score graphic at the bottom can be shrunk by about 5-10%. Big changes aren't needed, it's an improvement.

Staff hiring (especially with all the new positions added):

Can we get more ways of filtering coaches, like certain coach type then sort by offense, etc.? I find we often have to switch between summary and rating views to go back and forth between who we can afford, what their ratings are. Maybe if we could filter the same way that we can for rosters. For example when searching for coaches, I'd like to find an offense coach with at least 5 coach offense and asking salary under $7M, just instead of having everything in one huge list.

This may not be perfect in this screen but maybe worth a try, did you press the CTRL button along with using your mouse wheel while in the WATCH GAME screen? This combination allows you to increase or decrease screen size (and items on it) on any screen and remembers it. I tried it on my screen, but my screen is already pretty big and changed it but doesn't work as precise as it does on other screens so not sure if it will solve your issue or not.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just happen to be in PF24 at the moment and tried that. I'm on my laptop. It increased things maybe a few percent but not a lot.

You'll want to try in the college game as well since could be different since a newer version...maybe not, but worth a shot.
