I don't know if this has been reported yet, but it's driving me crazy. If a player is a FA during the early FA period and you link to that player, the player name does not show up on the player page. Instead, you have the drop down list for the other players on the team, but you do not have the player's name or position for the player you're viewing. The name appears in the page header as expected.


When the page loads the selected player should be the one you are looking at. If you change the player in this selection it should take you to that other player. Is that not what you are experiencing?


I can see the player's ratings and I can switch players. The page just does not have the name and position of the player that I jumped directly to from the URL. This only happens when the player is a Free Agent.

I'd like to see career totals for the statistics listed on the player's page.

I think I'll probably drop the old interface off not this weekend but next.


I don't like this idea. I am not even using this new interface yet because there are still so many items that work in the old interface, but don't in the new one.

I would hate to only have the option of using the interface where things don't work.

I'm fixing items daily as they are being reported. Aside from today's fixes (which will go live overnight) and issues that are actually a result of having both version running at the same time, I have fixed every issue that has been reported except for setherick's comment about not seeing the active player (I'm still not sure I understand that one though, I'll address that in a second) and the comment about career totals missing on the player stats. If there are still issues please report them so I can get them fixed.

Can you post a link to a player that you are seeing this on? I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding what you describe. The player name and position _should_ be displayed as the selected item in the drop-down, what are you seeing as the default selection?

no matter what player I do it on if I use Player Card - Notes it only saves the first letter of the note

Here's an example. John Huang is a FA TE on my team: http://mfn19.preview.myfootballnow.com/player/2499

Here's how the top of his card appears:
[#12 - Gerald Gonzales - QB] <-- I don't have Greenshot installed, so that's what the drop down reads.
Rating: 63/63
Team: Pittsburgh
DOB: 9/18/1992 (27)
6' 4", 257 lbs
Experience: 6
College: Washington & Lee
Draft: Undrafted
ST Blocker #8

His name should appear in the drop down, but it does not. If you expand the drop down, his name doesn't appear at all because he's a FA and not actually on the team.

I think I know what it is, he's someone you had last year and released to FA, so the page link shows as on your team till next season but since he isn't technically on your team anymore he's not in the dropdown

that would be the part of the code where an FA stays listed with the team they played the previous year, can't remember the reasoning but remember seeing something on the forums about it before

That's exactly what's going on, but it doesn't make it any less of a bug.

Got it - that is indeed what it is. Thanks for the example!
