cliaz Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 past few days, the fantasy section has been down.... this is a serious inconvenience as I want to pick up Stallworth... I know I'm very upset that every year we go through these problems. I think this will be the last year I host our local through them.

I think this will be the last year I host our local through them. I only really had problems on gameday when there is alot of traffic... you'd figure with all the money they are making on money leagues, they would up the bandwidth...

Swampnuts Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 We had our local draft online at Sportsline last night. It was awful to say the least. 10-12 owners had problems with the site, people were getting kicked out of the draft room and the site wouldn't update for chit as the draft went along. It took us 4.5 hours to do a 17 round 12 team draft. I've been using Sportsline for 6 years and never had these kinds of problems. Anyone have a customer service number? I can't find one on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definately be moving our league off of CBS next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 When are people going to stop rewarding CBS for charging excessive prices for an inferior service year after year after year? I've seen numerous accounts of drafts on CBS that crashed completely this weekend - and CBS blaming it on microsoft updates earlier this month. :shakinghead: PT Barnum was right. And people who are still with CBSSportsline - hey, you've been warned. Don't look for a shoulder to cry on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 they have a user friendly system....half the people in my league aren't very internet savvy.... And their system should make allowances for them - especially at their price. How come you don't hear about this kind of nonsense with mfl.com? But there's CBS crashed drafts all over the internet today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground Chuck Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Instead of trusting CBS's draft room may I suggest going to a yahoo chat room to serve those in your league that must draft on the net. Our league has done it for years. The only reason that we stick with CBS is that everybody loves to post funny pics and write funny league stories.

blips Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 We had our draft last night on CBSportsline and it was an abortion. Are league is spead across 4 cities and we actually ended up doing it manually calling everyone from city to city updating everything by cell phone. They are the most expensive site and they cannot provide enough bandwidth or server power to handle the drafts. I have been lobbying to get my league to MFL.com for years and hopefully I'm starting to make in roads with the commish. Word of warning to everyone out there. AVOID CBSportsline like the plague! And if you are stuck with it have a plan B for your draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draft would freeze, not load and I got a ton of "We are expierencing technically difficulties. Please try again later." When our draft started no one was able to get in. It would freeze and lock up. Finally, by round two I was able to get in and start getting the web site caught up with the draft. That worked until mid way through the fifth round. Then I counldn't get in anymore. I would re-load, re-load, re-load until I can enter another pick. At this point it took me 1 hour to enter 3 picks. Then it took 20 minutes to enter the next 4 picks. re-fresh, re-load, re-fresh, re-load. Then finally when we were in the 12th round it freed up and I was able to enter the rest of the draft.

Thews40 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 We went away from CBS last year, but since it wasn't blocked at work and MFL was, we went back. The thing that pisses me off the most is 45% of the screen is taken up with bottles of bud. Why charge that much for a service and then force feed everyone advertising?
