I don't know how long we've been asking for it, but I know we're pretty close to 10 seasons now.
We need a user activity meter! ( http://www.socalbdc.com/images/meter.jpg )
With the Free Agent market being the Zoo that it is, we need more than blind luck to scout great agents. We need activity meters that shows us how active these users are, that inform us if these players are worth wasting our time on.
Yes, I understand this is more of a 'casual game'. But once you get to or close to the Pro level, things go from casual to crazy. With all the tournaments, scrimmages, immense competition and now the official decline, Pro level teams each offseason have the tedious duty of trying to find quality agents in a clustered free agent market.
Over the last 13 seasons, I cannot count how many hand written messages ive sent have gone unread due to an inactive agent, or how many games we've lost because of players ive signed who do not frequent our team forum to adjust to game plans. Sure they sign in enough to keep the build stable, but with games every other day and the mix of tournaments, scrimmages and sim changes, sometimes we need them more frequent than every 5-6 days.
The few weeks or so in the offseason we have to try and read / get to know a new agent is not a sufficient amount of time to know if he will turn out to be the right guy. Not to mention the guy is going to have 100's of other teams breathing down his neck, and us trying to get to know him while another team is whispering sweat nothings in his ear, causes us sometimes to lose that pickup.
I WANT TO WHISPER SWEET NOTHINGS IN HIS EAR!! I want to know what agents to invest my time into. These meters will solve that! These meters will be perfect indicators that this guy is an active player of this game, that over the last season or 2 he does actively sign on and participate with his team. That he's the kind of guy, I can throw all my chips in on and try to land. (granted his build is good)
Over the many and many season's we've talked about this, i've yet to see anyone dispute that this wouldnt be a great addition to this game. Its a simple concept and its doubtful it will take much time or effort to implement. I even have an example of where to put it so you want even have to add new realestate or expand any tables.
WE NEED THIS METER!!! The Forum one is optional, but the Activity one is a MUST! Please Epic this thread, please after 13 seasons give it some consideration!!!!
