A dust storm. Too many weird things not working right away. Plus the design, ugh. Some people like it, but I don't understand why. :?

No notification of mail unless your in that particular team. smh

Hack yes you can change your lineup...but can't see your bench...gotta go position by position...not user friendly at all

Interesting - if you have a pitcher that has been on more than one team in a league, click on him to bring up his card and look at the combined stats. They are added together....all of them....including ERA and WHIP for pitchers. Take Daniel Hudson as an example.....8.47 ERA and 2.75 WHIP.

No leagues available page...you'd think that'd be a big one in case a customer wanted to play...I'm just sayin ;)

I also no longer see anything indicating what the current percent drop penalty is on either the team page or free agent page.

You're right, Nev; lineups aren't user friendly. No stats to gauge who to bring in to replace people. Or am I not seeing that?

I'm not happy with it at this point, truth be told. I know Bernie is a great worker and I truly personally like him, but he's clearly confronting SOM's anachronistic issues on design and functionality, and been given an assignment that is tough to fulfill for one guy alone. SOM is not the easiest company to deal with, as I recall the old days of customer support and technology et al. I'll see how the game plays as to whether I can live with it. Truth be told, I'm into the game and will probably play -- unless its really out of whack. Time will tell.

Why have hitting stats as you read across interrupted by Steal and Run numbers then batting avg.

and pitching stats w - l etc interrupted by hold balk etc and then ERA?

[nevdully's]

Sim fielding and Sim misc are blank at this time.

Lost the last 10 games played from the cards.

In the [b:1d36492cb9]Set Your Lineups[/b:1d36492cb9] screen, the defensive rating shown is for the player's primary position... not for the position for which they are being used.

i.e.
[code:1:1d36492cb9]
# Name Pos Def
1 Bourn, Michael (L) CF 1(-1)e3
2 Bonifacio, Emilio (S) 3B 3e24
3 Helton, Todd (L) 1B 2e4
4 Pence, Hunter (R) RF 2(-3)e7
5 Parra, Gerardo (L) LF 1(-3)e4
6 Ramos, Wilson (R) C 3(-2)e1
7 Smith, Seth (L) DH 4(+1)e7
8 Ramirez, Alexei (R) SS 2e17
9 Infante, Omar (R) 2B 2e10
[/code:1:1d36492cb9]

Problems:
#2: Bonifacio plays 3B at a 2e18; he's a 3e24 at his primary position of SS
#7: Smith is DH-ing; we should not see a fielding rating for him
