Now the rest of the world can share in my losing streaks! :wink:

I’m only on my 3rd team right now so while this update to the standings page is nice, I perhaps don’t see it as much of a big deal as people who’ve been playing this for a long time (and saw this feature available in other game versions much sooner). Actually, given the mystery card concept in the 80’s game, having the manager’s career a mystery as well had a certain symmetry. What I am wondering is when people think that the “all cards” reveal will be available at the completion of a season? That would have been a more significant update to the game engine, and I actually am surprised that there hasn’t been more agitation among this dedicated base of players to get that implemented ASAP. Right now there seems to be too much of a “black box” feel to the game when you can’t see all the cards. Imagine the angst that will be available at season’s end when you see which cards you shouldn’t have dropped and what players were sitting unused who would have been gold.

The cards are revealed after the playoffs have run. On the Monday after is usually when you can look at all the rosters in a league.

Oh. Thanks. My first league's regular season just finished (and I'm not advancing), but I couldn't find a way to see all the cards. Now I know I just have to patient. :)

I think what Gator would like is to see all the players, including free agents, after the league is finished. I don't believe we can see the free agents after the league is finished, just players on the roster.

I'd like to see what years the free agents were, but I'm not holding my breath.

I agree, I would much rather see the reveals on the FA pool, so we could see to what degree we are wrong on quick drops. It would help us understand how to maanger better.

Ideally, I'd like to see the card reveals for both the teams and the FA pool once the trading deadline has passed. Would be a good learning experiense and make for interesting conversations in the leagues. But I am not holding my breat for that. I am really happy about the standing page change. The big thing is knowing who the other managers are. That is the big change I'v really been wanting and i am happy for now. :)

Making the reveal before the season might make the playoffs unfair, and wouldn't be in line with the mystery card concept.

Actually, Toi San is right about what I was asking. I would like to see all the cards in the free agent pool (as well as current team rosters) at the end of the season (or playoffs). Is there some reason why TSN can't do that easily if the team rosters are being made available?

I would lean toward not wanting to see any cards before the end of the season, but in a perfect world this could be a player-defined option when leagues were created.

EDIT: Nevermind
