"At a Glance" scouting reports on DX 

Post#1 » by JonathanG » Mon Jan 28, 2008 6:26 am

A lot of people asked for this, so we went out and did it. You can now find summaries of player's scouting reports for almost everyone in the first round. We'll be doing 2nd rounders eventually too, and maybe some others.

For example: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jer ... less-1067/

The ones that are not yet completed are guys that I want to sit down and study in greater depth. That'll probably happen over the month of February I'm sure.

Just wanted to give people a head's up since there was a long thread with this as one of the main requests a few weeks back. Let us know what else you guys are looking to see.

Good work Jon, this nicely deals with what I felt was one of DX's main weaknesses.

Borat says "I Like!"

Also as an idea in the future if something changes like so and so improves ball handling it would be cool if it could be acknowledged in a way that the reder could know that it has changed.

Excellent. This is a great addition it's much better than just a 1-10 evaluation of a players abilities .
