I think that, with trivia gone, Dotts would be a great way to teach some of the newer users like myself the history of the league. Although the cards have this potential in their current state simply by generating discussion about who was received in packs and why certain cards are ruby or sapphire, I think another addition can enhance this: a backside to the cards. The backs of trading cards usually depict career stats and even an interesting piece of trivia about the player. I think it would be really cool to read these little snippets about a player’s best game, an important contribution they made to the league, or a record they broke while they played. I understand this is a whole lot of more work, but it would personally get me more motivated to collect cards. Even if the interesting facts aren’t feasible, simply finding a way to easily copy and paste stats would make a huge difference for me. Currently, I can ask others if they’ve heard of a player, but if they say no, then my interest sort of dies there. I could use the search function on the forum, but it’s too much effort at that point. My mindset is that if a higher up on my team doesn’t know the player, they probably aren’t worth the search.
