Hi Dev Team Firstly, I'm a big fan of Catan: Console Edition on Xbox and really appreciate the work you've put into bringing this game to our screens! I'm writing to propose a small but, I believe, impactful quality-of-life feature that could significantly enhance the gameplay experience for some players: an optional "Confirm Placement" prompt, primarily for placing roads. Occasionally, in the heat of the moment or due to a slight mis-input, I've accidentally placed a road along an incorrect route. Because there isn't a confirmation step, these little mistakes can sometimes lead to a moment of frustration, especially when resources are tight. My suggestion is to introduce an "Are you sure?" or "Confirm Road Placement?" prompt that would appear after selecting a road's position but before it's finalized. Crucially, I envision this as a toggleable option within the individual player's game settings. This is a key aspect of my suggestion. By making it an optional setting that defaults to 'Off', it wouldn't introduce an extra step for the thousands of players who are happy with the current, faster placement system. However, for players like myself who would appreciate that extra moment to confirm their choice and avoid a misclick, it would be an invaluable addition. It allows each player to tailor the experience to their preference. From a development standpoint, I would imagine that implementing a simple confirmation dialog box tied to a settings toggle might be a relatively straightforward task. The positive impact on user experience for those who choose to enable it could be quite significant for a comparatively small addition. While my primary focus for this feature would be on road building (as this is where I've personally found it would be most beneficial due to the frequency and precision required), the same optional confirmation system could certainly be extended to settlement and city placement if the development team felt it was a worthwhile addition across the board. For me, though, the biggest win would be for road placement. In summary, an optional confirmation step for placing roads (and perhaps other pieces) would: Help prevent frustrating accidental placements for those who opt-in. Not impede players who prefer the current, quicker system. Offer greater control and precision for players who enable the feature. Likely be a relatively simple feature to implement with a notable positive impact on user satisfaction for a segment of your player base. Thank you for your time and for considering this suggestion. I genuinely believe it would make a great game even better for players who appreciate that extra layer of confirmation.
