Does yahoo still offer "free" leagues, what about ESPN? How are they?"You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

Originally posted by eldiablo505Yeah, the interface at TQ/OnRoto is embarrassingly terrible and counter-intuitive. That shit doesn't even cost that much to upgrade, either, in terms of programming time/difficulty.
CBS doesn't "tell you what rules to use". That's a non-starter (or, more appropriately, a red herring.) They don't archive FAAB, which I'd be pretty shocked if that was in anyone's league constitution. There are some other oddities that they have been apparently unable to handle since they went to an auction site with an auction room.
There are pros and cons for both, clearly. CBS' interface is miles away superior to that of OnRoto. Their auction room is extremely slick and they haven't had the massive hiccups like what happened with DMT. OnRoto is much more friendly to leagues with gimmick rules or special needs (yep) and has great customer service but has a terrible interface and dubious track record.
I thought the price difference was a lot greater than it is. $10 is just not that much to justify a move to an inferior site. $70 certainly would be.
Also, as for FAAB archiving, they preserve them for the current season. I suppose if someone was looking to compile historical data than this would be a problem but the percentage of customers who'd actually do that can't be high (I'd guess less than 1%).If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Also, cbs dictates who wins ties in bidding with a random system (which NO ONE can explain from cbs customer service) - NOT your league standings (which is pretty much standard...lowest team gets the player).

I checked a couple years ago and Yahoo still did not have a contract field on their roster pages, which is a deal-breaker if you have salaries. I emailed them several years in a row asking that they add it but I gave up after 3 years.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.

Originally posted by DMT View PostFAAB data is preserved throughout the season. Do such issues arise across seasons?
The first tiebreaker is indeed the reverse order of the standings, but then after that it resets like a waiver wire. It is odd, but in the past five years there has only been one instance of a team not winning a player for this reason.

Originally posted by cavebird View PostESPN has FAAB and is free and shows losing bids. It isn't horrible. Its biggest problem is that the live chat is not on the same page as the live standings, which pretty much kills the live chat.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.
