Allow me type in Expense amounts

[filihok]

I'm running some sims to do some study on the long-term finances in BM. I was going through and changing all teams' expenses to a certain level. And I thought, "it sure would be nice if I could type this in instead of holding this mouse button down for two hours".

In the team expenses, when setting Medical, Scouting and Farm amounts we should be able to manually enter the amount as opposed to just using the arrows to adjust the amounts. If I want to spend 2,500,000 on farm I should be able to type that amount in instead of going up in increments of 10,000 by holding the button.

just my two cents...(how many mouse clicks would that be?)

I TOTALLY agree. This can be quite annoying sometimes.

Similar idea: Allow us to pick what RANKING (1st, 5th, 30th), etc. we want and have the 'puter pop back how much that would cost. Then we can decide if we're willing to pay that much or need to back down. That's what we're usually after anyway, a given rank rather than a set amount which might or might not have wastage.

IF we do that, the next thing I'd want to see is some sort of check box to lock it - in other words if I want to be 5th in Farm, then have an option where the computer will automatically raise or lower my amount to keep me at 5th. Then I could just check it now and then and see if I'm paying more than I bargained for, and otherwise leave it alone.

I agree with filihok and Cat' on this one.

Both are great ideas.

Yep, seems to make sense.

I've been asking for this since 2008's beta. Saying that I'd support the idea is an understatement.

Yup, I'd like to see both cat and fili's suggestions implemented. Its a pain to have to hold down the mouse button forever.

I use the mouse, but I guess the "mouth" button could work as well

I had to get up at the wee hour of 10 o'clock this morning, so please forgive me.

[actionjackson]

Affirmative on both counts.

When I was playing last night I had to put a cup holder on my mouse and walk away for a few minutes. This would be a great idea though, I've been annoyed by this for a long time now.
