CaptainPlanet Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Wondering why some of the fields in the game require so much scrolling through numbers and increments instead of simply being able to type a number in. Player searching parameters, wages in contract offer etc. The dropdowns do help to get you in a ballpark, but I would prefer just to be able to type the number in myself.

ftg87 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Not being able to type a transfer bid out annoys me, once you get about 10mil the increments on the drop down are way too far apart for my liking and it takes too much time to click your way through to the amount you want to bid, so agree totally CP Would def like to see this game-wide (if that makes sense) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Problem being when you want to bid £11m. I bet there will be people typing in £1100000 or £110000000. Still a good idea. Maybe if there were options for thousand and million to save more time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if there were options for thousand and million to save more time? Type "100m" or "100k" for auto-complete the big numbers. Or, if you're city: ".1b for Kaka please".

Maybe if there were options for thousand and million to save more time? That could be avoided with the automatic inclusion of commas as you type out the number. This is already a feature in FML, so I'm sure it'll come to FM soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftg87 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 God bless commas The comma, making numbers easier to read since 2004 (or should that be 2,004? :confused:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N^G Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 the problem is that you have to implement field validatation so that people dont type garbage into the field and crash the game. Dropdowns are the cheap way to get around the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
