Summary of small suggestions + bugs for first access

[tyronethecalzone]

I've made a bunch of posts, So I figured it would just be easier to compound them into one post.

Small suggestions to add (All these should be added to CF25 too to have hegemony)

-Show full college player stats for imported players year by year, this could just be added next to season/playoff stats
-Showing college awards on player card
-Staff history page under team history, Showing year by year who the staff was (FOF and Colllege Football Coach do this)
-Ability to hire position coaches for HC/OC/DC
-Under historical stats ability to sort by year - this would be huge and all other football sims do this, It would help with being like, Who was the qb when the browns where 1-15 vs the next year they where 14-2? It's incredibly useful and needed in a text sim game like this.
- https://imgur.com/a/xcTiAej / https://imgur.com/a/HIux43m - If possible I think being able to add a dropdown for "year" for stats would be incredible, maybe next to select positions? Idk if this would be too hard to add for this year, but having it both here and in almanac (to seperate team and league historical stats) would be amazing. For PF and CF.
-A simple back button
-For both PF and CF for WR's and TE's put their receiving, not rushing stats first
-Sortable Historical Standings for both PF25 and CF25 (I feel like this was in the older games, So we can easily see most championships,etc) and sortable season recaps
-position locks in depth chart
-Ability to see past season schedules for teams, They can be non clickable but just showing the team/team ranking/score/off and def player of the game w stats


Clickable names in:
-News table
-Transactions table, especially free agency
-Leaders in almanac
-Award winners in almanac
-Past draft page
-Awards in almanac, Really as much almanac stuff as possible.

Bugs
-Historical Standings aren't sortable
-Under performance it tracks Pre and Reg ses the same (for example it counts the w/l it includes preseason)
-Does not track wins/losses/champs for pos. coaches
-Team logo not showing when staff hiring round, also isn't showing team stats for that year coaches https://imgur.com/a/TDLobHB
-Coach/player watchlist disappeared in both PF25 and CF25 https://imgur.com/a/FUwQ5OR
-After hiring coach the coaches history got deleted from their previous years
-In almanac nothing is generating under champions and no logos in historical playoff brackets
-(Know bug) logos don't change after simming a week
-On another teams page it shows your own teams draft picks on the bottom right
-There isn't an option for modern current 7 team NFL playoffs, only 8 team options
-Current head coaches being signed by their current teams showed as at large hires during staff sign period-
-Completion % seems unrealistically low, even for good qbs (82 acc for example over 3 years had 43% comp %)
-Keep getting game ending crashes around 4-5 seasons in
-Top offense players for conferences are always QB and that never has changed once
-For coaches, Also doesn't show previous team under coaches with no current team under "leaders" screen
-Crash after a couple years when you go to Alamanac->Stats
-White screen flash when clicking on/off draft screen
-Dragging team names in league configuration is a bit buggy
-Trophy room is not working (MVP, Etc)

Overall the game is incredible, it just needs a couple final touches + fixes and I couldn't think of much else to make this game the perfect football sim game, have loved watching this develop over the years as I have been an avid fan since Brook's Pro Football Sim (Which was the first text sim game I ever played in HS and I've been hooked to the genre ever since)

Are all of the items listed here? I can work from this list and delete the other posts (or you can delete them if possible...)

Yep! I went back and cross checked all that I posted, I can work through and delete them now (I think the ones that have comments I can't delete)
Edit: Deleted all the posts it let me

Other bugs I've noticed, apologies if some of these are repeats I know you have compiled the list already:

• Salary cap remaining is missing from the team screen, and from the media screen in the "Teams" list where it normally shows # of players and cap space left
• In the Play/Sim screen, the option to play game is not there
• In the Free Agent screen, we are unable to get the flags/traits in the bio menu. It says "player will be evaluated after drafting"
• We're missing the configure teams screen. In Team Info, no place to change a team to CPU control.

I gotta be honest it needs a LOT more than just a couple of final touches LOL. But I'm sure Brooks and company will address them all (at least they're trying to add a lot of stuff).

I gotta be honest it needs a LOT more than just a couple of final touches. This is my 3rd year doing First Access and this is the buggiest one yet. Like you I do have hope for this and I'm sure Brooks and company will address them all (at least they're trying to add a lot of stuff) but IMHO not remotely ready for full release, it's gotta go back in the oven and cook for a while. Also got an out of memory crash error I couldn't find where the error report was saved but I was in the training screen, then all of the sudden I couldn't control, the screen went blank white and that was it.

I'm happy to bug/suggestion test first access, the team has always been incredibly receptive with adding suggestions while in beta/first access. I don't think I noted any of those so good call outs! I do think the suggestions def apply to both CF and PF though, I wasn't able to test CF25 in first access so wasn't able to suggest then so kinda catching up with suggestions now for both broadly. Happy to help though!

Adding plays to playbook - can't filter by formation or run/pass. Could we also be able to filter for pass length, scheme, etc.?

Oh for sure! This is a good forum to have.
