Create a new "Team Needs" page (or as a tab on Trades/Offers) for owners/GMs which includes:
  - A check box for whether to advertise or not
  - Display current quantity for each position and have fields for desired quantity and level range
  - A description box for teams to talk about themselves: "hey, we're The Wonder Team, we have an active forum and always pay for equipment, come join us! PM me for info!" or "we need a possession receiver at WR2, and an agility LDE."
  - The option so that, when quantity = need, automatically to retract all offers remaining for players of that position. This prevents overloading when one forgets to manually retract all the currently tabled offers for one position.
  - Up to 5 Custom Slots, e.g. return specialist or nickel back, to which prospects may be tied since they may be filled by several positions (thanks Den)

[...]

- Team Marketplace appearance
  - Searchable by region, league level (Pro -> BBB), league, team overall rating, team average level, team needs by position
  - Otherwise similar to already existing Player Marketplace

- Team's Marketplace page appearance
  - Name, league, record, current league position, trophy case, description (as above)
  - Displayed needs by position (quantity desired minus quantity on roster) and desired level range
  - "Apply" button opening a dialogue box for which player would apply (similar to the boost function) which would generate a PM with a link to the player's marketplace ad (similar to a reverse contract offer, but no offer would be generated)

Is what BCF was saying, in essence

It was 13 months ago this was originally suggested, and now that we've come to another Day 20 (i.e. the day the PLFT forum gets flooded with 'suchandsuch's S15 FAs' threads) can we please see some immediate action with this. Recruiting on this game is the single worst aspect.

At worst, get rid of the PLFT forums and make people use the Marketplace. This step alone would make the whole recruiting process a lot easier.

EDIT: emphasis added, just to show how long this has been a problem.

Pretty sad. Let's get this going guys, come on!

bump

+1

belated (but still necessary) +1

Seriously, is this where good suggestions just get taken to die?

The quote given in this thread from Bort is:

Yet there is no sign of this or most other epic suggestions on the Changelog. Now I realise this is probably just because the updates on the Changelog are archaic, but surely it would help those playing the game to know exactly when things like this will be more firmly considered (even if they are timelines that have to be adjusted due to delays in other updates etc.)

Let's get this rolling again. This is an update that really needs to happen. +1243854297114

With new archetypes, the marketplace needs to be able to be sorted by them.

Thanks to whomever mentioned this somewhere.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but don't see it in the OP:

Add a min/max age box to the search in marketplace

I tried this earlier...didn't work.
