New CBS League Homepage

Also, the CBS game pages are all showing 3 balls in every game, always. Regardless of whether the game is over. Hah. I don't think it is just me, have tried around on different PCs.

Be nice if someone could have a decent fantasy site, though. They're all crap and I've tried them all. I still have some hopes for ESPN....

I've been sending in requests for 2+ years for them to add a 'contract' field. It seems so easy to implement and it's critical for keeper leagues, but for some odd reason they haven't done it yet.

You can add custom fields. I added "contract" and "salary" for my league and it works pretty well. Default values are "A" and " " but you can set those yourself to anything.

Yeah, what's wrong with the custom contract field? I don't see how a universal contract field would be any easier, since they would probably force your league to adopt their contract statuses.

Is there a place where you can see a player's contract status?
It's bad enough that you can't see the price until you click inside the player, but I don't see contract status anywhere.
I noticed this after inputting 3-4 freeze lists, then seeing the site freeze.
got this jibberish:

"Your draft is currently running. If you would like to make any changes to this draft configuration, start it over or mark it as completed then you must first suspend it. After that those options will be made available to you on this page."

apparently they need a semicolon after "configuration" and "start it over" and then a comma after "completed' and following "after that."
I think.

I take it they are "outsourcing" this stuff?

I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship that I'm not even paying for (at least)

It's right on the team's homepage. Like smack dab in the middle.

How e-mails work on CBS are so frakking ugly now. And I get spammed by all of the league e-mails. My e-mail client use to recognize it as coming from the same address and would organize it by threads. Now it's just all separate e-mails.

I found it ironic that there was a letter the popped-up at the beginning of the season from some dude. I'd like to write back and tell him to suck it.

You can turn off the league e-mails in the Alerts tab.

Right, but I'm mobile most of the day and would have to constantly check the league site to see what everyone's talking about.

as if it'll do any good... (i did send in my thoughts though)

Another aggravating point:

If I am on my league page, I cannot now get directly to other CBS pages (other than MLB scores) without going back to the CBS home page first. There used to be a general CBS banner above the league options at the top of the page, but now that's gone. I guess this is a way to direct people back to the CBS home page and rack up page hits?

Oh, and for the last 2 years, CBS had a deal where paying fantasy league members got access to MLB radio for free. It seems like that isn't the case this year. I hate CBS so much.

I have been struggling with this too. It should work. It was advertised that it would be included. For me it works off and on but not consistently, so I'm hoping it is just bugs they are working out.

If you search in HELP for "gameday" you can find this:

What is the MLB Gameday Premium Package?

The MLB Gameday Premium Package is MLB’s premium audio and video highlight subscription, which has been integrated into your 2011 Baseball commissioner product. This package is normally $19.95 per person; however we are providing it free for every owner in your league (approx. Value $249) as part of your paid Commissioner package.

You will be able to access this feature from your live scoring page starting on Opening Day (March 31st).

The package includes:

Live audio broadcasts for all MLB games
Pitch-by-pitch GameTracker
Video highlights of the players on your fantasy team and the MLB Gameday Experience. Full game live videos will be available at MLB.com for an additional fee.

You will not need to create a separate account to access this.


Edit - I just read that it does in fact say "2011" so who knows what that means. But I think it is included this year. It was last year, and I saw nothing about it being removed.

I thought there used to be a way to, in the Rosters page area, click a link that said "Warnings" or something to show you if any teams in your league have illegal rosters for that period. Now I can't find that link. Generally this is not a problem but as a commish I liked to nip erroneous rosters in the bud if possible. Anyone know how to do this in the new site format?

It is under commish tools- League- View League Warnings. I spent a bunch of time yesterday looking for it.
