Big Red Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Last year I was in 4 different leagues, and each one used a different site. I liked My Fantasy Leauge the best. ESPN was crap, EA was mediocre and CBC was just above EA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are trying to get the peeps from Yahoo to leave since Yahoo always has free games.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember all the peeves I had last year, but the site was atrociously slow. And if I'm not confusing it with another site, I think management of your team was very inefficient - adding to the slowness of the experience. Feedback/support from staff was non-existant. I put in a couple of issues and *never* received so much as an acknowledgement much less an actual response. And while this is not necessarily a commentary on EA, the league I was in had very low caliber owners. So it wasn't even fun being in the league after wading thru all the other hassles. I left swearing "Never again." Not for $10, not for free, not if they paid me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedroz13 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 From my experience, the 'free' sites are garbage. Yahoo is 'free', but you don't get live stats on Sunday (what kind of self-respecting fantasy football person doesn't want live stats on Sunday?). This costs about 9.95 or so, I assume other free leagues are the same way. I like CBS (the player info on CBS basically sucked last year, but the live scoring was good and articles were interesting), but am thinking of going with myfantasyleague.com this year because so many huddlers vouch for it.

gspot Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 espn is crap and cbs is a joke MFL 846634[/snapback] What makes CBS a joke? IMO, their interface is the best out-there from a technical perspective and their lay-out and live-scoring is the best I have seen period. I agree, MFL is great for the money, but their live scoring isn't as perfected as CBS and they don't offer gamecenters. CBS also allows you to instantly drop any stat or league info right into Excel for record keeping purposes. From simply a league-hosting service standpoint and cost aside, CBS is at the top IMO. For the money MFL may be the best value, but what makes CBS a joke from a league host perspective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 2 leagues with CBS and swithced over to MFL when CBS went pay The other problem was they weren't able to handle some simple scoring rules for another league I was setting up. There customer service was sub par. Maybe they've improved since I used them last. I believe's MFL's live scoring is just as good if not superior. There as up to date as any live scoring service out there. CBS costs twice as much. Site customazation capabilities are superior and more numerous with MFL. You can give your site a far more personalized look and its totally dedicated to ones league. No adds, none of the columns and articles that I don't really read anyway. I'm sure some people like that aspect of CBS but its not worth an extra $60-70 bucks for me. I prefer the threaded message boards on MFL sites. Keeps subjects seperate allowing for better and more organized league discussions. Yuh got me on the excel thing. But I would bet that MFL has a statistical download capability. Heven't tried to, don't know and don't really care about that. I'm only in one league that is using cbssportsline and its a $200 salary cap, auction draft, keeper league. There is no salary tracking capability. The only free agent prices I know for sure right know are the guys I picked. Either cbs is not capable of handling a salary league, or the guys running the league don't know how to set it up correctly. Does anyone use cbssportsline for their salary leagues? If you're using CBS, like their product and service, and its a fun league, then more power to you. But from my current and past experience I'll not setup a league at cbs. There are better options.
