would be nice to have a way to filter player search results
it currently sorts by attribute it would be nice if it was the following way.

still have it sort by attribute but,

in search field have the ability to pick attributes to filter (even just one would help as for instance i think defensive players with a tackle or 15 are just a joke)

So instead of:

Name:
Attribute: Max Speed
Team: Free Agents
Position: CB
[ ] Include Players Not In This Position Group

It would be:

Name:
Attribute: Max Speed
Filter 1: [dropdown of all attributes] Minimum Rating 0------------100(slider)
Filter 2: [dropdown of all attributes] Minimum Rating 0------------100(slider)
etc..... but even just 1 would be nice.
Team: Free Agents
Position: CB
[ ] Include Players Not In This Position Group

i realize this could cause you to miss a gem occasionally since if a player was 1 point under your set minimum but otherwise had good stats you would never see them, however this setup wouldn't stop you from checking out players as you currently do. So there would still be an advantage to checking each player card but this would help for if you are in a hurry, don't have the time to invest (due to irl issues or managing multiple teams), or just need to grab someone off the FA list mid-season to sub for an injury

Filters when finding players on transfer market (?) are a must.

For eg.: I'm looking for a CB with these skills: x, y and z

You can edit your player weights (temporarily) to do such a search.

actually no you can't because the player weights will not stop someone from showing up in the list and that is what a filter is for

for example if i'm looking for a starting RG in the draft i would want someone that has at a minimum 75 str, 75 run block, 50 pass block (this is a minimum would prefer more) there is no way to set this with weights all i can do is run a search for RG then sort by attribute or cur/fut then i have to go into each players card to individually look at their stats the reason i want a filter is i'm getting tired of seeing players rated at 70+ that are completely useless at their position because of a single stat that is extremely low (15 tackle on ANY defensive player or 30 strength for ANY OL or DL for instance)

I will pick a guy with 15 tackle but not a lineman with 30 strength. Still I was thinking of making a team where speed was 100 for every postion. Then I would make everyone lighter and just run and blitz alot.

Cause idk, I set mine with minimums and have no trouble weightING out what skills in general a guy has. Have strength at 88 or 91 and run block like 55 with a 37 pass block. My RG pulls alot so he's fast but these are good setting to pick sleepers right out of the draft. I found a 67 rated 7 rounder but still had to click on his card because he was a center . And apparently 30 snapping for a center is what changed this player over 15 points from c to rg. For my settng s of course.

Still guys play 200lb defensive ends that still get alot of sacks. To me that reeks of size matterING little. Which throws weights out of whack. A 30 strength 300 pounder should be able to stop a 100 strength 200lb er but I doubt that is the case. But perhaps it cause qbs won't run.

The biggest mistake you could make n this game is undervalueing speed for little guy s or strength for big ones . It is really is quite confusing cause size matters and after a few seasons here everybody's the same weight as others at the same position. I picked up a team where all the WRs DE and DT were the same weight. The only other thing that was simile was there age. Wierd.

I really wish player weight mattered more for strength and that was adjustable in the weights . I think weight is in the weights but how much for each position it changes is beyond me.

i agree completely on the weight issue for instance in real life a 250 lb linebacker will have no problem at all tackling a 200 lb running back or wide receiver (if they can hit him anyways) but a 200 lb cornerback or safety better know what he's doing if he's trying to tackle a 250 lb tight end or fullback

and that doesn't even bring in the strength/build issue the way i look at it is 0-100 strength should be a % basically how much of his potential strength does he have?

i'm referring to the fact that a 185 lb man will VERY rarely have the same strength as a 285 lb man unless he works out a LOT and that's only if that 285 lb man doesn't work out, if they work out the same amount that 185 lb man will NEVER catch up on brute strength because of the weight/build difference (if a guy weighs 285 lbs that means every second of every day he is getting the same workout as if the 185 lb guy was wearing a 100 lb weight vest)

as an example most people that work out a little (not a lot maybe 1 or 2 days a week at the gym) can bench press their own weight i would call that a baseline amount maybe rate that a 50 so a 0 would be maybe 1/2 your weight while 100 would be twice your weight still impressive to do but a HUGE difference depending on the weight of a person.

here's why with the above values:
185 lb man --- 0 = 92.5 lbs, 50 = 185 lbs, 100 = 370 lbs
285 lb man --- 0 = 142.5 lbs, 50 = 285 lbs, 100 = 570 lbs

both very impressive at 100 but i know which one i would want in a DL or OL

so back to my comparison
285 lb that doesn't work out has 50 rating 285 lb bench press
to get the same bench press the 185 lb man would have to have a 77 rating
i just think this would be more realistic

I like the concept of the scale but most nflers can bench 225. That should be start for the lightest player. Its the combines measure. As they get bigger most players can bench 225lbs over 10 times. That's like a zero to me here if the guy is big.

The combines bench is a consistent measure for what a player could actually max bench. In top athletes the numbers seem to follow a pattern. So, to me the high on the strength scale are the guys who dominated in combine bench scores.

Linemen highs are like 50 reps . Also most 1st round linemen score over 30 reps.
So here to me desirable for a guy like 300 pounds above a 50 rating in strength. To me he could bench 225 30 times at the combine which is suitable for the NFL why not here.

The high an low combine scores follow the same pattern with players with similar builds. All the way down to WR qb and kicker who do not participate cause the can't bench 225 once cause they weigh 185 or lighter. Still many WRs qbs and cbs have great success in the nfl despite there low or non existing scores.

Still , I think it was jared allen, scored horrid in the bench but still had a solid career as a d line men. That would make for like a 20 rating here in strength. Where I like a 70 at least. But I think he had lighting fast first step for his size. Blowing away shuttle scores.

Eventually I want to do combine scores for rookies but I am not sure how to incorporate the vertical. Pass courage idk.
