I don't mind going through all the coaches once but having to go through them all in the hope that additional ones may be there or have been released since I last went through them is soul destroying

Looking at the same players/coaches over and over again, is one of the biggest soul drains in the game right now. Updated Wednesday, April 3 2024 @ 6:18:09 am PDT

It wouldn't be a waiver date - just a a field like the waiver date but indicating when they were available. Not saying there wouldn't be better ways of doing it but I imagine that would be the easiest for Steve to put in place and would work for me

It would be very easy for Steve to add filter by date, all the code is already there. He's made the decision not to provide that tool. I think Steve keeps this pain point in intentionally because there is a vocal minority that feels you haven't "earned" success unless you spend 2 hours everyday slogging through webpages. They were upset when things like filtering by POT were added, so this was the compromise to keep searching as a slog Updated Thursday, April 4 2024 @ 6:24:52 am PDT
