Franchise - Add Player Search
Currently, when looking for a specific type of player to sign or trade for, you have basically open the card of every player that matches that archetype (free agents) or the all players at the desired position (trade screen).
What would be fantastic is to have a player search screen, similar to what is in the NHL series. This way, I can search for a player at a desired position that closely marches what I am looking for. When performing a search, it shows all matching players in the game and includes whether they are on an active roster, practice squad, or a FA.
Here is what I am thinking.
SEARCH OPTIONS
Position: I would have the position filter mirror how the positions are listed when scouting as opposed to how they are listed out in the roster. For example, don;t have the position filter have LT and RT, just OT. A tackle is a tackle. Same for IOL, S, OLB, etc. (At some point, differentiating linebackers between "off-ball" and "pass rush" would be great, but that is a different suggestion.)
Archetype: This list would have to be dynamic based on the Position selected.

RESULTS GRID
- Name
- Position
- Status (On Roster, Practice Squad, Free Agent)
- OVR
- Age
- Dev Trait
- Archetype 1 Rating (these are dynamic based on the position type)
- Archetype 2 Rating
- Archetype 3 Rating
- Archetype 4 Rating (where applicable)
The list above would be a great first iteration of the feature and would help tremendously when looking to fill specific needs, which is currently VERY time-consuming.
