tyco bronye Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I picked up a new kicker and new defense off the waiver last week. I use nfl.com and when you get a kicker and defense off the wire they show up on the bench and you have to manually move them to the starting position. Although I did do this and even checked my line up the next three days to make sure everything was ok on Sunday night after my kicker and defense earned 26 points I saw they were on the bench so I was awarded zero points on a game I would have otherwise won. This same thing happened to me last year (my first year playing) and I lost a game I should have won because my one and only kicker was on the bench. My feeling is since I only have one kicker and one defense and if nobody doubts my intention to have them play I should be awarded those points. I feel it's a bad website design to have to manually move a player into the starting lineup if you only have that one player at that position, and then you have to make sure you press submit.

bowltr Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 How 'bout looking in the mirror? Your fault, never had that problem with NFL.com and I've been using it for 5yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byroz Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Lol is this for real? Yahoo is the same way. If u checked 3 times its your own fault. Seems like your mad at yourself for not playing them and trying to cheat to get the win. If you dont play someone u dont get the points.

Chief Dick Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I feel it's a bad website design to have to manually move a player into the starting lineup if you only have that one player at that position, and then you have to make sure you press submit. What do you think? I think you have a case here. I would first send an email to NFL.com detailing what happened. Their customer service more than likely will escalate this to the IT company that wrote the software for that. It is just bad User Experience Design. If they won't address it, I would continue to push the issue through social media channels. Go to Twitter, and hit the NFL's Facebook page. Social media has a lot of power right now to fix unfair issues like this. If this has happened to you, you know others have been affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonedaddies Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Does the commish have the ability to alter your lineup? It might not be the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I admit it. I hacked into your account and changed you lineup. It was the culmination of many years of planning that allowed me to pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I'm confused, did you ever actually confirm these players were in your starting lineup? Are you saying you had them in the starting line-up and then NFL.com (or your commish, or somebody hacking your account) benched them? Any time you add a player and intend to start them you need to make sure and change your line-up. I prefer the league web site not automatically assume I am starting a player. (I think CBS only does that if the player I dropped was in my starting lineup, and the player acquired is the same position. If your line-up was right and somehow it changed back, you have a beef. If you repeatedly checked your line-up but failed to make the changes and/or click submit (or verify the submit changed your lineup) that is on you.

stevegrab Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm willing to bet he didn't. That's why he complains that the site doesn't do it automatically when you pick up players on waivers (and I agree, it should). He probably changed his lineup, but never hit submit. That has happened to me a couple of times. Now I double check my lineup a few times during the week. Once bitten, twice shy. Or is it measure twice, cut once? Both apply here. I suspect you are right, he simply forgot to click submit. But why check it multiple times (and tell us you did) and never get it right, or notice it is wrong. If he really thinks NFL.com or his commish messed with his line-up after he set it correctly he should state that clearly. I don't know about other sites but CBS tracks your line-up changes, every one you SUBMIT, so that would be noticeable in the transaction report (unless the commish removed those entries).

Fool me twice...won't get fooled again. Or something like that Or maybe it's a fool and his money are soon parted Edited November 3, 2014 by Zooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sounds like he forgot to Submit the changes once made. I agree I've been using NFL's site for a number of years and never had that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
