SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted May 1, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi, We're looking at ways to improve team selection and I was wondering how everyone went about selecting their team in the game (actually physically using the UI - not so much how you decide which players will play). Thanks, Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Barry Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Drag and drop onto the mini pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Drag and drop onto pitch for the first 11, drag and swap for the subs. Only thing that's a little awkward is making a player a sub if there isn't one already so you can't drag and swap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
typenamehere Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I always use the buttons because I can't get the hang of the drag and drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It 'kinda' does that already by displaying a second page where you can just click to select the players desired position - what I'm trying to get a feel for is how people are generally using things and how to evolve/improve this side of things as I'm aware its one of the 'clunkiest' areas of the UI ...

Fraggle Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Mostly I use drag and drop. The most irritating thing is the scrolling down or up. But that cant be helped I guess. でもしょうがない、そういえば.. as a side note it would be good if you could add the japanese leagues so I could play as fukuoka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it that way but it'd be better and easier. if a drop down menu pops up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfft Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I switch players by dragging on name onto another, which isn't bad, but can be a bit slow. It would be much quicker and easier if you were able to see a player's condition next to their name on the mini pitch, that way you would know quickly which players need resting.

edgar555 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Auto Select This and then swap players using drag and drop. Its not the easiest thing in the game though, but getting used to it. Wheres the poll? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted May 2, 2010 Author SI Staff Share Posted May 2, 2010 Wheres the poll? You just 'entered' it with your post (its not a 'yes/no' type of poll - just after info, tbh its better to get people to post than just tick on a formal poll as I get more detail).

jimny Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I use drag & drop, but the PSP-style would be better. I mean I can see the condition and abilities of the players in one screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistair85 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I drag and drop because I find my fingers are too big to press the positional buttons with any degree of accuracy. After giving me nightmares for the first few days, the drag and drop feature is still clumsy, but a lot easier to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdinho Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Drag and drop doesnt seem to work for me - I always end up with my striker in goal So just use the list manually...not ideal when you have a big squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooCooKaJoo Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 drag and drop for moving plaers already in team, but when one is coming into the team, usually from an injury recovery or new signing, i use the buttons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitesh Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Having just got to grips with the dragging on the team screen, I still think its something that needs a lot of consideration. I think without any radical screen UI changes, the first thing would be to drag and drop the 1st X1 on the mini pitch with the subs as it is (as said above). As an alternative to this, I'm not sure what's possible given the limited space on screen. You could have it so that when you click the little square next to the player, it assigns the next position. So if you had no players selected, you would then select you GK first and it would assign that player to GK. And then you select your defenders etc. What also might be easier is to have a player who is injured (fully injured) to be automatically deselected from the squad. (Obviously, this would only happen on a match day - i.e. a small check on matchday so if a player is injured then de-select him). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Drag and drop the starting line-up, select subs by tapping the blank box next to their names and selecting the sub slot. I like the idea of auto-selecting that Hitesh posts, i.e. that the next position is automatically filled (based on the formation) when you tap next to the player's name. I'd also second auto-deselecting injured and suspended players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiechuter Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Perhaps a tap on the box for next position and a select and hold for the list of positions? Although I'm a drag and drop kinda guy personally! Although last two seasons, auto select and then drag drop the stupid assistant mistakes! Hehe I would like it, perhaps even a bug that clear squad changes the view, I select by condition, clear and select shows selection view... As I was saying and I've logged a couple of other places I would like the ability esp on the team selection screen to have the option to choose if you want to sort or view by what you select... i.e. Click 'sort/view', select 'sort', select 'selection' the list is now sorted by selection, click 'sort/view', select 'view', select 'condition' the list is still sorted by selection, however now it displays the players condition so you have your first eleven all together and you can easily see if anyone is unfit... Currently you will have to scroll up and down to find the player and condition, which is a bit frustrating... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently you will have to scroll up and down to find the player and condition, which is a bit frustrating... This would be an excellent addition as I agree the current system is quite frustrating.

Currently you will have to scroll up and down to find the player and condition, which is a bit frustrating... Yeah I agree with this, it's a bit difficult to see what's going on and when scrolling up and down it can be easy to accidentally movea player, or swap a couple of players around without noticing. Just for the poll - personally, I use the auto-select and then I drag and drop to make any changes. I find it's the quickest way for me. Nice work SI, keep it up!

Pim1984 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Why can't be drag and switch players within the pitch? I hope SI can include that in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumPI Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I will either click the position to be taken to the team selection page when selecting for the first time. If I just want to swap a couple of players round i.e. if one is injured, I will just drag the name onto another. I dont use the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
