I guess I'll just have to settle for being Bill Belichick.

8 total seasons now, a staggering six conference championship games, 3 Conference titles (****ing Phog just keeps beating me in league 2) and 2 'Ships. 7 playoff appearances with the one miss being my 10-6 year where I missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker.

I do figure I'm gonna finally break that streak of strong seasons in league 2. I didn't do a pre-FA depth chart and forgot to watch my draft as closely as I should've so that teams thoroughly messed up. And Dak got hurt so I'm rolling with Fitzmagic...except for the 2 games I'm going to have to use a street FA (because again, did a bad job making a depth chart and ran out of money before I realized Fitz missed some games).

That Benton squad pretty clearly demonstrates how quickly things can go sour on you if you do a poor job or don't plan ahead a bit. It's a knife's edge to put together a quality team in this thing.

Where do you track your records? On your bedroom wall?!

Keep 'em in my Dropbox Excel file.

I don't know how you'd keep tabs on what you're doing without some sort of system outside of the website.

Weren't we trying to talk you into an excel file like 3 years ago? It really makes things a ton easier.

I ****ing have my roster in an excel file since the site has horrendous roster functions. This would be so much easier with a functioning depth chart.

Maybe instead of a dick you can suggest it as a feature nicely :) jk

PS - i also have an excel depth chart … and i concur that depth management and roster improvements are needed on the site.

I am starting a major development cycle. I could probably work in a depth chart. If someone made a mock up (basically a ppt slide that shows the layout and desired info/functionally) it would be helpful.

Cd I could try to get a balsamiq wire frame but I would really like for more input that just one person on a depth chart UI

Just post something to get people talking. This isn't a shy group.

I don't know how hard it is to do this type of stuff but something like this would be awesome where you can do one or two deep and when a player is out for a game it puts in the second string automatically.

You can do it that way or like this:

Obv this is for hockey, but you would have Offense / Defense / Special Teams

Simple drop down would work for V1 - Also only allowing certain players to certain positions like you do today.

Drag and Drop would be awesome for a V2
More information (such as Years left on contract) would be nice to see it on that page so you can plan better as well.

Also think the UI should use the next player down automatically vs using Free Agent as stated above. (last resort is FA)
