Welcome to the new Beta version of the MyFootballNow website! Please note that while using the Beta website, some features may not work correctly and other features are not complete. Some elements, such as notifications and chat, may act strangely during the time that both versions of the site are available. If you need to return to the old version, click on the button below.
Happy New Year! Here are the updates that went live in December:
The Misc Gameplan page now warns you if you make changes without saving.
Fixed a bug that could cause the Misc Gameplan to become scrambled.
Private messages and forum posts now support emojis.
Fixed an issue where the depth chart could disappear when adding players.
Moved Position Distribution back into a modal instead of a standalone page.
Trades now correctly post notifications in the forums.
Resolved an issue where the draft class could return incorrect listings at the end of the season.
Fixed draft class sorting when player weights have been overridden.
We’re getting close to fully retiring the old UI, so if you notice any lingering issues, please continue to report them — it really helps us clean things up for good. I’m also planning to work with the product team to begin prioritizing improvements and fixes in the game engine going forward.
Thank you so much for your patience and for continuing to play as we work to make MyFootballNow the best it can be!
I've been finding I need to spend most of the offseason on the old UI. The player search and free agent search on the new site are not properly providing or sorting all of the available players. We are coming up to another draft, so it's been a while, but the last draft was not doable on the new site. The player list on the left was always empty while the draft was going if I am recalling correctly. The functionality was also just not the same, I recall it automatically jumping to the top of the list each time I made a change, which was ridiculously frustrating. The whole War Room needs a good careful look-over.

During the last week of December I did some updates to the player search overall - the draft search was not pulling the correct players at the end of the season, and the sorting was not working right when you had overrides for the player attributes.
If there are other issues, please give me some details on how to reproduce them, I'll try to fix anything as soon as possible.
Just taking another look and thinking about it briefly, it seems likely that the free agents showing up on the new UI are only the ones who were already free agents before the previous season ended. I didn't check it out carefully, but it seems like all the guys whose contracts ended with the end of season sim are not showing as free agents in search in the new UI.

That's the conclusion I came to as well, and did identify the issue. I've deployed a fix, but it will take some time for the cache to clear on the searches that are incorrect.
Can we get the down arrow indicator on drop down boxes?
When I click the hamburger menu it would be nice to be able to click anywhere off it to close it instead of having to click the button again.
When clicking X on a player card if there is a button behind the X it clicks both buttons taking me off my current page instead of just closing the player card.
On mobile in portrait mode the button on the team home page where you can abandon team is cut off in portrait mode. Same goes for the thread options button on the forums page.
When clicking view all on the player awards it automatically filters for the year instead of the current week. Also the filter buttons for player awards are cut off on mobile.
On the team home page when looking at coaches all it says is the coaches name. Can we please see their rating as well. Also can we get the coaches attribute cards so we don't have to go to a new page to view a coach. And on the attribute card can it show some sort of progress indicator so we don't have to view the coach and go to a different page to know if they are getting better or worse and at what rate. Maybe have a head coach +/- from start and this season.
For the depth chart can we get rid of the entire list of players at the top of the page. It is very difficult to scroll through on mobile without moving them around. Can we get a drop down menu of players to choose from for the depth chart like the old UI. Also I don't want to be able to accidentally send a player to a different position by scrolling through the depth chart. I only need to be able to move a player up or down in their current position.
On the team home page the yearly championship awards are incorrect. They show multiple championships in the same year sometimes for the same thing and sometimes on years you didn't even make the playoffs.
On mobile in portrait mode everything feels too zoomed in. I have to scroll over to see all the information. It looks good in landscape mode but I'd like to see all the full line of info in portrait mode without scrolling.
Power rankings looks good in portrait I can see 9 teams at a time but way too zoomed in on Landscape mode I can see 3 teams at a time.
Can we make it a little more obvious the winner and loser of games. Maybe making one a different shade instead of just bold or not bold.
The position distribution accumulates to 43 players. Can we make it accumulate to 53 players.
In some cases like player awards or position distribution the position is general. Any reason why we can't be more specific if it's a WLB just say WLB instead of OLB if it's a FS just say FS instead of DB.
Can we get the future draft picks page to look like to old UI? I prefer Name round 1 Name round 2 Instead of Name Round 1 Name round 2 I think the first one is easier to quickly read even if the print is smaller.
On the trades page their is a hamburger menu drop down with one option to view. Can we get that to just be a view button so we don't have to click it twice?
When clicking on an owner it gives an option to view manager can we change that so it automatically views the manager if I click on it. Then if I want to send them a message I can make a 2nd click on the manager card. Instead of having to make a 2nd click either way. Can we also get the league winning percentage back?
On a player card I prefer the name to be displayed as. #3 Arthur Gayle - QB Instead of 3 QB A Gayle The way it is displayed on the old UI looks better in my opinion.
When viewing a player on the old UI I could see 12 stats easily in portrait mode without scrolling right. On the new UI I can see 8. I don't mind having smaller print there to see more info. It's easy to see with 12 lines. Same goes for any player stats page and the team home page.
Also the league home page in portrait mode you have to scroll to see the owner. I prefer to see that info even if we have to do it as before where the division and conference records were only viewable in landscape mode. I had no issue with that but I don't want to have to scroll to see the owner of the team. Smaller print is fine.
If a team has a tie their conference record shows up as 5-6- 1 In portrait mode.
When viewing a player looking at the attributes can similar attributes be put beside each other instead of by the first letter of the word. Pass blocking should be across from run blocking, short snapping should be across from long snapping, ETC...
The progress and attendance graphs look way better on the old UI. On the new UI it only takes up a small portion of the space available and the lines are too thick.
Can we get rid of the renew team button. If someone wants to leave they can click abandon team or not log in for 30 days or the admin can remove them. The only thing that can come of the renew team button is someone forgets to click it and has to reapply for their team.
In order to watch the game I have to scroll the field to where the ball is. It doesn't zoom out enough. Kicking and long plays are especially difficult to view as you have to scroll the field as the ball is moving. The play by play covers the bottom of the field I would rather it be in the open space below the field. I also prefer the start, stop, speed and zoom to be down there instead of holding down on the field for them to pop up. I liked being able to just scroll down at the end of the game to see the final stats. In landscape mode the stats are there on the sides but cut off so you have to scroll and I'm not interested in them till the game is over anyway. In portrait mode I don't care about the weather and attendance and such at the top once the game starts but I can't scroll down far enough to get rid of it. Which of course currently doesn't matter anyway as we used to be able to see the start, stop, speed, zoom and the last 3 plays below the field which was nice. But now it's just the last play and it takes up part of the field.
On a player card details the retirement probability says 0.4% instead of 40%
On the draft history page if a player is a FA it says draft team Free Agent instead of the team that drafted the player.
If a player is Unhappy with you it takes away the option to offer a contract. The reason is not clear to a new GM. The option should still be there but say this when you click on it. "This player is unwilling to renegotiate his contract with you and demands to be traded or allowed to test the free agent market."
I'm not sure if this is something I can update on my end as I couldn't find it in settings. When I save this it will say last edited 2:23 P.M. On my time it is 9:23 A.M.
When there is a new forum post I like the yellow banner at the top indicating a new post I can click on. Instead of just the number when I click the hamburger menu.
I prefer the old hamburger menu where everything was there with just one click and I could scroll down for the less used buttons. This munu requires 2 clicks for almost every action since everything is collapsible. I also liked it on the right side. Just a tad more convenient since I'm right handed. With the menu on the left it feels like it was built for someone clicking with their left hand.
Can we get rid of the renegotiation wizard? One of the first things you have to tell a new GM is to never touch the renegotiation wizard. It does not offer the best contract available so it's only purpose is to trick new GMs into overpaying for their players.
This may be something different since it is consistent across both websites but can we get the playoff indicator letters corrected. Sometimes it will say a team is eliminated though it is pretty obvious they are not then sure enough the next week they are in the playoffs. Sometimes a team will make the playoffs yet no indicator letter is given.
Can we get the 3 different tabs in the war room for players, manual priority list and draft board. I don't need to see all 3 at once. I can see 5 players at a time, on the old website I can see 20. Same for the different rounds I like having one at a time. Instead of having to scroll down to see them. I don't like the drag and drop it's just about impossible to scroll on your phone without moving the players which then resets to the top of the list. There is no way to add a player to you draft board if you aren't in the war room and you can't view the player card in the player list or manual priority list. Can we get the button to add to draft board on the draft class player cards. The scrolling banner of draft picks at the top of the war room is gone. That's not a big deal but it was a nice feature on the old website.
I don't see any options to rename a player this is just before the draft starts.
I liked on the old website when you clicked on multiple player cards you could scroll through all the ones you had open and compare and to collapse them all you had to do was click anywhere off the player card. The new website stacks the player cards on top of each other so you can't compare, and to collapse a player card you can't just click anywhere you have to hit X or minimize. I also liked if you clicked a player card a 2nd time it would bring that player to the top of the players you're comparing. The new website just continues to layer multiple of the same player cards over the previous one even if it's the same player.
Playing around in the War Room pre-draft, there are three main issues I'm seeing right now:
1. The player list on the left should exclude any players in the Manual priority list.
2. The manual priority list refreshes and puts you at the top with any change. We should be able to move player 18 to 17 and then 20 to 21 all in a couple seconds without any scrolling. We should also be able to ensure that the change went through properly without having to scroll back down to find where we were again.
3. Player cards can only be pulled up from the draft board all the way on the right. You should be able to get them up (with a single click) from anywhere that you see the player on the page.
Essentially, the old War Room worked perfectly, my only complaint was the lack of numbers. Focus on the same functionality with the new look and numbering system.
In general, throughout the site, the number of clicks required to do the same thing has increased, which is the opposite of the way you want to go. It is awful that you have to click twice to pull up a player card on the depth chart.
