Yahoo is awful. ESPN is the way to go.

Much easier to move players, better statistics display interface,

far better appearance.

I actually don’t think ESPN is awful I just like Yahoo better. Just wanted to give the other side.

Both are quite good

I can understand someone preferring one over the other, but to describe either as “awful” seems unsupportable. Is there a function or option that one has that the other doesn’t? They are both very good.

In my opinion...

Yahoo is adequate, but ESPN is better. ESPN has better stats interface, much better options for sorting. Also, ESPN doesn’t require a page reload every time you change something, which is nice. And if you like reading fantasy columns, ESPN far exceeds Yahoo!’s staff.

I personally find Yahoo's handling of transcations

and bench management to be almost unbearable. Just personal preference though.

I do almost all Yahoo leagues, but I'm in.

Not like basketball either. I’m really in.

I'm waiting for my wave of talent to arrive.

But of course.

Yes.

Is this the same deal Jeff mentioned? Do another RR league and have relegation/promotion?

by hawkinscm87 on Feb 6, 2012 12:59 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't know.

That would be cool if it could be somehow set up.

after being previously against free leagues...

I know enough of y’all for this to be about pride…I am in…the barely-knows-advanced-stats guy is gonna tramp your envious souls

I am the one who knocks.

CBS fantasy trumps all.

I’ve grown so tired of the statistical aggregate ways of ESPN/Yahoo. A point based system like CBS is so much more simpler and smoother. Plus they have a live chat talk and great daily updates on every player. Seriously won’t play any other league.

I am in a paid CBS Sportsline league

and we get access to MLB.com

CBS is the worst IMO

CBS is great...

if your comfortable paying $150/yearly for fantasy football…of which I am not

I am the one who knocks.

How much of this did you actually write? :)

MAJOR LEAGUE (The Royals)
Rachel Phelps (Royals Management): I think he'll fit right in with our team concept.
Charlie Donovan (Royals Fans): That reminds me, I was going to ask you. What exactly *is* our team concept?

by Royals Medic on Feb 6, 2012 3:24 PM EST reply actions  

I have played numerous years on:

1. Yahoo
2. ESPN
3. CBS
4. RTSports.com

all have their little quirks…for baseball, I think yahoo is better for being able to data sort easier…for football I think ESPN is better

CBS and RTSports are both great, but cost lots o money

but…what about Ottoneu on FanGraphs? anyone played that?

I am the one who knocks.
