The events section is an improvement
but, what if you have 50 + active games ...
you have to scroll for 2 weeks to see all your games

It is funny ... I saw the change and thought, how long before there is a "I HATE THESE CHANGES THREAD" ....
anything that is new will seem worse since you are not used to it ...
if you have a lot of games, it is kind of unwieldy for sure.

Yeah you should definitely put a "view" option in there so you can see all your games in a list form like the old "my games" page. The new way is only good for those who aren't premium or don't have many games.

Yes, an option would be best, so that those who prefer to use the mygames as it was. There are reasons that the old way is preferable, and some ways that the new way could be ok, so the user should be able to choose according to his/her needs.
Thanks,

Doesn't seem to provide much of anything except taking up more space. Can the players be auto linked to their stats for that games settings? Make some use of that space.

This. I started a suggestion already:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=209885&view=unread#unreadI think this is the worst change I've seen to this site yet. It's an ugly layout, and it's horribly inefficient. Before you could easily scan through the list of games. Now you have to look all over the screen to find the information you need. There are plenty of good suggestions from people that actually play the game regularly that are getting ignored. Instead we get garbage like this.

Well said Robespierre, my thoughts exactly.
By the way, we can see 6 games per page, this is on average more than we usually get to see, unless you only play 1 vs 1, when you could see 7 or 8. But people will get quite irrational when what they have used to gets changed. "Scroll down for 2 weeks"...lol...

I could get used to the new layout, but I'm not very active these days. If I had 50-80 active games like the good 'ole days, I'd hate this change!

Lol, not even that. Even if you only play 1 vs 1, it was exactly 6 games. Just think a little before you start complaining. In fact this change makes the scroll easier.

Sure, you don't have to scroll your window as much now. But it's a lot tougher for your eyes to track across the lists to find what you're looking for. It's easy to hold the down arrow or roll your mouse wheel and watch the list of names scroll past. It's a lot tougher jumping your eyes back and forth across the games. What next? Arrange the boxes in serpentine list rather than raster scan list? That fixes my complaint about tracking games with your eyes, right? It's the most confusing and convoluted way I can think of for them to fix what shouldn't have been a problem in the first place, so I fully expect that to be the end result.

Yes, it is indeed more difficult to "scroll" (what is the correct english word here?) your eyes, because you now have to also scroll right-left. But we cannot be certain if this is because it is inferior or because we are used to the previous one

Absolutely awful. Why was the most important information, THE MAP the game is on, made even smaller. I can barely make out what map each game is on a laptop, let alone my phone. It's like no one making these changes has a clue about simple UI. Sorry to say this new "Central Command" stinks.

Not a fan. A display option would be the best if they are intent on keeping it.

Count me in on someone who doesn't like this new change. I usually have around 100 games going, and this new layout is cumbersome to navigate.
I'm fully on board with those suggesting an option to view the games in the previous fashion.

I love it. But maybe it's an acquired taste.
If you don't like it, get on Beta. It's been there for over a month. Suggest changes to make it more favorable to you.
Last update to the My Games interface was 2006 or so. It's high time we got an update. This also makes it more optimal for mobile devices and is custom built for multiple screen resolutions. If it's too few games in a row for those with a lot of games, zoom out and more will fit in the row.
