Not for me, it ain't.
The kicker is that I want to send them a message complaining about what is happening but I CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE I NEED TO ACCESS MY HOMEPAGE IN ORDER TO GET TO THE MESSAGING AREA. Good grief!
I'm guessing that's sarcasm... imo the analsyis on sportsline has been declining over the past 3 years. Sometimes I swear their player comments are autogenerated by an algorithm... "expects to bounce back".. "keep it going".. "find it easier"... etc... give me a break.Not to mention their projections and weekly forecast player stats aren't even being looked at by a human anymore. Joey Harrington projected at 3 points? gimme a break...Now the live scoring isn't reliable either... I guarantee our league will be voting about using something different next year....
Weird -one if my leagues is up and the other is down.(Both CBS Sportsline)Not for me, it ain't.
Happens on my older laptop all the time, never on the desktop.
3rd week in a row. I wnanted to waive J.Stevens and pick up another TE and couldn't.Money league, I asked both commishes to ask for refund.!This is BS paid money for league.How many years can they have the same probs.
Been using MFL for years with few if any problems. CBS is a lousy product, IMHO...
did the same, didn't threaten, just basically told them to get my league's website up.i'm sure they're trying, just not solving the issue.FWIW, I just sent a complaining message to CBS via the "help center" on our league's homepage. I basically demanded to know exactly what was causing the problem and what they are doing to insure that it won't happen again in the future. I also threatend to take my league elsewhere if I don't get a satisfactory response (whatever that might be). They have been pretty good about responding to my questions in the past so I'm hoping for a response to this one as well. I'd encourage anyone else who has beeen having these sort of problems to do the same. If they get enough complaints, who knows, they might actually do something about it.

Horrible interface, incompatible scoring systems, but excellenct service and a price that can't be beat.
why doesnt mfl make an easier interface...why cant they have all the bell & whistles that cbs does....is it the bells and whistles that cause the problems?' date='Oct 15 2006, 11:36 PM' post='5728763']

I wouldn't mind the early-90s HTML interface if their scoring system was compatible with my league's rules. It sucks having to manually calculate everyone's waiver budget every week because the MFL mainframe is incapable of performing simple addition and subtraction.why doesnt mfl make an easier interface...why cant they have all the bell & whistles that cbs does....is it the bells and whistles that cause the problems?' date='Oct 15 2006, 11:36 PM' post='5728763']

if it isnt than i have to ask again... mfl raise they style a bit.
a) You'll have to provide more detail because the budget calculation works for us.b) What scoring rule do you have that it won't take?' date='Oct 16 2006, 01:05 AM' post='5728809']

Would someone please explain what's so difficult about clicking on a drop down menu?

a) when you cut a player in our league, you can keep 50% of his salary for your waiver budget. (i.e., cut a $12 player and keep $6 for your cap). MFL won't support this. Also, we use both Blind Bidding and First Come First Serve waivers, yet MFL only charges the BBs against the cap. (We have to manually deduct the FCFS waivers from everyone's budget.)Also, MFL has no support for eBay-style bidding. (i.e., if you bid $20 and the next highest bid is $12, you're only charged $13).b) we deduct an additional 2 points for INTs that are returned for TDs. MFL can't seem to calculate this.c) we have emailed them and their response is just, "Thanks for the suggestions."
that's not a correct statement - from this post (dated Feb 4, 2006):
that's not a correct statement - from mfl's All Supported Positions and Scoring Rules page, item numbers 10 and 11 in the "Currently Supported Scoring Rules" section:
that rule has been supported for at least 4 years.i'm curious - when did you check out myfantasyleague.com to come to these incorrect conclusions?
BS. Throwing servers at the problem probably will not fix the problem. It could be not enough bandwidth, database writing issues or any other list of problems. But they are running a business and a good business plan is to resolve the issues, not wait until next years budget. I am sure this department has their own budget and can operate as needed.Week 1 problems are expected, not prepared for all the new users, etc. Week 2 is not great, but acceptable. But these problems should be resolved by week 6.
Yes it is, depending on the way your league is set up....
True, MFL will show a credit of $6, but what it won't do is apply that $6 towards your cap. The money is separated from your salary cap.So, for example, if you have a $100 waiver budget, and you cut a $12 player, the MFL system will NOT show a $94 net.
This is correct. The host of problems that could be the culprit is too lengthy to get into here. However, being a person in this field I'll say this. If my "paying customers" experienced downtime like this...I'd be in serious jeopardy of losing my job.If it was a free service...I wouldn't complain at all. It is what it is. You get what you pay for. But since we are paying...more than any other site...I expect to get service better than every other site.I'm using MFL for the first time in a new dynasty league some of my buddies and I came up with. I don't mind it I guess...but getting all the rules hammered down and such took quite a while. Seems to be fine now. Just wish the live scoring for Gameday worked like the Live Scoring for Sportsline. But I could nitpick every site all day. Bottom line is that for the past few years, I've had no real issues with Sportsline. This year though....wow....very poor.
Maybe its just the servers that each individual league is on. I usually start mine up around 11am eastern and I haven't had a problem all year. Until yesterday, but that only lasted about 15 minutes and I was able to get in again. I read about all these problems people are have and am suprised, because I'm not having them, knock on wood. For the record I'm using DSL to access the internet.SeniorVBDStudent said:
And keep going back.
lol yes, this is the worst part.it is some sort of abusive relationship where the wife who gets beat never presses charges.i am hoping some sort of CBS Sportsline counseling hotline can be established so people can get help.
The problem is that most people NOT USING FOOTBALLGUYS.com think CBS Sportsline is the rock star of fantasy football. At least for the pay leagues. (Excluding free yahoo leagues)Convincing the rest of your league to switch is the hard part. When I am the only one that wants to switch to mfl.com or rtsports.com it is hard to force a change. Yesterday was a good example to see if I can get others to consider moving.I posted my concerns on my football league message board while it is hot issue.
