whomper Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 I hate the way they run overnight to begin with. We run waivers and then open it up for first come first serve. We have a guy in our league that sets an alarm and gets up at 2 am to wait for waivers to run so he can grab the best fcfs guys out there before anyone else. Its causing me commissioner headaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its causing me commissioner headaches To solve your headache then have waivers run every night. That way FA can be picked up right away but dropped players go through the waivers process.

DanTheMan_5 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We use CBS and only run waivers the 1st night. first come first serve after that. In the league where we bid, our waivers ran just fine this week. It's always something with CBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheMan_5 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 ...and you get to pay for that privilege. Ya I hear this every year. In all honesty, in recent years it's been working pretty well. Plus it has all out history. In the end, a few dollars per team isn't really that big of a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dogs Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We switched from CBS to ESPN on one league this year to save the $160 bucks, but still using it in another league. The waivers in that league ran on time for us, but they have been delayed in the past. I'm honestly not sure how they continue to justify the cost, especially as they continue to add massive amount of advertising. I can't click anywhere on the website without some stupid popup add or video coming up. The advertising alone annoyed my league that switched over a lot more than the actual cost.

Unfortunately most people in my big money league are only used to CBS and like that it has the league's history so they refuse to even consider moving to a different site.

Rileyrott Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 After 15 years with CBS in my familyl/ocal redraft league, I finally convinced everyone last year (2015) to switch to ESPN, league history be dammed. Everyone is now glad we did (took awhile!). We also applied the CBS league fee to more prize $$. Everyone is happy (no small feat). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they shut down access to my league, I went in and copied the league history to preserve it!!! Geez, you guys on CBS, PAY for your league and still get ad and script bombed? Lame. The ads really suck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Honestly have no idea why anyone would pay for CBS. ESPN, for that matter, is pretty terrible too. Yahoo is free and seems to be trouble-free every year and has a fairly decent interface. You might get hit with a "join our daily fantasy contest" popup once in awhile but it's an easy x-out and on to what you want to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdjeff Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Playing in a CBS league for the first time this year and agree it is the worst. My free yahoo league and paid MFL are much better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Yahoo football is anything like Yahoo baseball , then it has glaring flaws as far as commissioner tools in comparison to CBS. Yahoo usually sets their own tie breakers for playoffs seeding etc , which I dont like. Yahoo also doesnt allow a commish to go back in to a game and make changes if needed like swapping out a player after a game started etc. The "cost" of CBS gets overblown a tad too. Yes, in comparison to a free league, its a lot but when spread over a 12 team + league its peanuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 you guys should really get yourselves ad blocker what do you dislike about espn? Alright, maybe it's not horrible, but I find Yahoo to be the easiest. I don't particularly like the "tabs" with the Team / Players / Scoreboard . Yahoo's "league" page is set up way better. I do like the wealth of information on your team's page though. I started my fantasy sports fascination doing ESPN Fantasy Basketball some 20 years ago... so I've been fine with ESPN for a long time... just think Yahoo is the cleanest.

I also like the way the live match up pages are set up (again compared to MFL, only two that i've used), how they show both the scores and the adjusted/updated projections as the games are played. maybe MFL has a page like that but i haven't seen it.
