Are they going to be in the next update? Would that be in about a month?

1) Listing OS age is a great thing; I think I said that before. But maybe you should add one of those help question mark things, explaining what OS age is. There's already help text on the Stats --> Improvement Report page; maybe that's good enough.
2) When I mouse over the question mark for Option Years, the help text flickers. Tried it with four cards; same result on all. None of the other help texts does that.

I was just looking at some cards on beta, and I had a couple more thoughts.1) Listing OS age is a great thing; I think I said that before.

For #2, I've fixed this issue (I think) by adjusting the size of the popup help box.Tyson

Okay, one more. I've been wondering whether to mention it; I reckon if it kind of bothers me, it'll really bother someone else. Here it is: we've added this big, pretty player card at the top, and seem to have made the stats part at the bottom smaller (I looked at beta and regular cards side-by-side, and it seems to be the case, though it could have to do with my browser's text-size settings). The overall effect is to make the stats lines feel tiny.
I'm not sure whether it's just my display, or just my perception, butI kinda feel that the new "card" part at the top overwhelms the stats part. (And if I biggify my text to make the stats bigger, the card part grows commensurately. Like, if I make the stats comfortable to read, the card borders on grotesque.)
I hope I'm making some sense here.

PS It turns out that if I make the stats part big enough, it also makes the depth chart et al. grotesquely large. (Firefox remembers text-size settings across a site, so what I do on the player card carries over to other pages as well. Not sure if other browsers do this.)
I guess what I'm saying is, can you make the stats lines bigger -- wider and larger font.

I completely agree with Scooter on this one. It is the only minor complaint I have about the new layout.
