What I'd like to see is some new features in the DC section i.e. Copy/Rename/Delete/Save-as .

My thinking is .... at the moment, I think the only way to create a Depth Chart is by starting from scratch. I'd like to be able to create one "master" DC and then quickly create/change other DC's by commands/features such as copy/rename/save-as etc.

I could then create, edit and maintain a "League-DC" , "Friendly-DC", "BOT-DC" "Supercup-DC" etc very easily ..... and by doing this I could keep a roster of 70 players who all play regularly whilst still satisfying the 55 player restriction maximum of the DC .

Therefore my suggestion is to create the following new buttons :-

" Create Copy" - allows you to s e l e c t a DC and then create an exact copy of that DC e.g. s e l e c t "standard" and then create a copy of standard called "Test1".

"Rename" - as it sounds, will rename an existing DC to a new name

"Delete" - your new DC not performing as expected ? hit 'delete' and it's gone.

This might be a good idea to quickly create additional DC

I'm not sure if I miss something here, you already can rename and delete DC with the exception of the Standard DC. The Standard DC can't be renamed or deleted, but all additional can?!

Not as far as I can tell ... I just created a new DC and the 2 options I then have are "add new depth chart" or "delete this set".

I'll outline for you what I'm trying to achieve :-

(1) Create a depth chart "standard".
(2) create a copy of the standard DC called "Test1".
(3) edit Test1 to include/delete/reshuffle some new players
(4) test "Test1" in a friendly game
(5) "Test1" is a success, I want it to be my new DC.
(6) flip/flop "Test1" and "standard" i.e. "Test1" to become my default DC, "standard" to become my old DC ......... so maybe the ability to rename "standard" to "old-standard", and "Test1" to "standard".

Hope this makes sense.

Id like to be able to check which plays i could transfer to another playbook, and i think it would be great if you check several plays at once and if you change one then all the checked ones would change also.

errrr, you might get more success by starting a new "Playbook" thread ... this one is primarily intended to be about Depth Chart

Any chance of this going on the "to-do-list" ?

Don't know if this would be possible or not, but I'd like this :-

If you have more than one depth chart, a "compare" button that allows you to name the 2 depth charts you'd like to compare and then the compare result would show the differences between the 2 depth charts.

Pete the whole idea of staying quiet is to erm how do I put this..... stay quiet you havent quite mastered stealth mode yet have you?

As much as it pains me to say this but I do like the depth chart idea. I am currently writing three depth charts one for my league games, one for the supercup (leverkusen leopards beware ) and one for my friendlies. Maybe a save as button would be sufficient then you could create a standard DC then save as, call it a new name then edit as required.

Agreeing with SH8888 on something i think i need to lie down
