My dad, uncle and I have been playing Fanball (formerly CDM sports) baseball challenge games together for the past 10 years. My dad's been playing for 20 years. I always do a football entry with him as well. This sucks. Anybody else around here play their challenge games? Anybody know of any other options for this style of game?
I asked the same question on the main board.Loved the challenge games. Played baseball, football, nascar, and golf.
I was always Go Knights in Budget Baseball. My dad's been Titletown in baseball and football since before the internet days when he made transactions over the phone.ETA: I'll be sure to email that addy and get added to the list when I get home. Thanks for the heads up.
Although the overall prizes are taking quite a hit, I do really like the proposed league payouts and the price points for entry. Hopefully they get this off the ground.
I have played the CDM games since MSNBC was the sponsor.Looks good.RnR said:rodg12 said:Although the overall prizes are taking quite a hit, I do really like the proposed league payouts and the price points for entry. Hopefully they get this off the ground.
Is this game ever going to go live?Fanball had sign-ups ready right about the the time of the NFL Conference championships.<!--quoteo(post=12853139:date=Jan 25 2011, 01:12 PM:name=rodg12)--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (rodg12 @ Jan 25 2011, 01:12 PM) <a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=12853139"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Looks like Fantrax is indeed lining up games to replace the Fanball equivalents for baseball...

Starting to wonder myself. They didn't start creating this game until the news that Fanball was going under, so really they're only 6 weeks into the process. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt getting their system set up, but they are starting to reach a critical level in terms of sign-ups. We're 5 weeks from opening day.Is this game ever going to go live?Fanball had sign-ups ready right about the the time of the NFL Conference championships.<!--quoteo(post=12853139:date=Jan 25 2011, 01:12 PM:name=rodg12)--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (rodg12 @ Jan 25 2011, 01:12 PM) <a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=12853139"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Looks like Fantrax is indeed lining up games to replace the Fanball equivalents for baseball...

Signed up and ready to go. Have you tinkered with the salaries yet? They're much more difficult than the ones Fanball put out. In fact, they may be tougher than any set CDM ever put out. I also think their points salaries are harder than their roto salaries. Given the bench flexibility and the increase toughness of salaries, this could be a completely different game.
I just play the points league, but yeah the salaries are TOUGH. Far fewer of the stand-out cheap guys that you just have to have to compete. When you combine that with the bench flexibility, we're going to see A LOT more variation in team make-up from team to team than we have in the past. It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out, that's for sure.
Agreed, I think there will only be a handful of players that break the 60% owned threshold.
So far, Mitch Moreland and Jake Peavy are the two cheapies that are standouts.Peavy has to demonstrate consistent health but so far so good.
