* Being able to queue up transactions as part of a trade...

This is a pretty significant flaw with MFL. It gives you no warning that a trade could push someone over the roster limit. It basically forces you to drop a player BEFORE the other team actually accepts a trade offer.

That's not always true. A trade can be accepted, but it won't be processed unless rosters can permit it. It's only a big deal if trades process immediately after being accepted.Anywho... I've used Sportsline, ESPN, and MFL (our first season there is this year)A quick overview...Sportsline... most expensive, but reliable and flexibleESPN... prettiest, cheapest, less reliable and flexibleMFL... most customizable, stellar customer service (appearance of site can be somewhat wanting and counter-intuitive, especially when compared to ESPN)Something very important with MFL. Commissioner quality is a big factor. A commissioner that is not dedicated and smart can make the MFL experience second-to-none. Because there is so much flexibility, a bad commissioner can entirely screw a season. With Sportsline/ESPN, there isn't as much flexibility, which makes it more difficult to screw up.A negative about switching to MFL... the first season there will be growing pains, especially if you're migrating from ESPN/Sportsline. Getting a good handle on the waivers process can be frustrating, as they are handled in a very counter-intuitive way. We didn't get it nailed down correctly until about four or five weeks into the season.The reason we made the switch... our league got big. MFL allows a league to operate with two sets of NFL rosters, which allowed for a much larger league. But by just about any account, the league has been a huge success... and I don't envision a scenario in which we would return to Sportsline or ESPN.

I won't join a league that doesn't use it. As far as Yahoo! goes, they consider Colston as TE. A Tight End.

That's only slightly worse than MFL prohibiting you from EVER starting ANY players at multiple positions, even if the team specifically designates that player at multiple positions.

I believe the Commish can designate player positions.

Yes, except that you have to choose one or the other. If you happen to have a player who really does play multiple positions (i.e., Cooley or Troy Brown), then you have to ask your commish to manually change his position every single week.

Used it and didn't like it. I like rtsports .

Why?

It didn't seem to be in even the same league as rtsports. Huge type, huge standings page, clumsy site IMHO. Rt has things condensed, easy to access, understandable format, great scrolling message board...I just like the way it looks and works. If I had used MFL first maybe I'd have a different opinion but I don't think so. I've tried others and for me rt is the best.

rtsports if fine.but allyou are talking about is the skin - how about navigation? I find MFL very fast, no waiting around for pages to load (ala fanball) and user friendly navigation.Their cust. servce and live scoring is, IMO, tops in the biz.

 

[turnit643]

Haven't used MFL, but have used RTSports and enjoy it. Skin looks clean, navigation is quick and easy, live scoring is slower than some others from what I hear, but that's not a big deal to me I guess.

I do like what I'm hearing about MFL's complete customizability(?) and user-friendliness(?).

 

[SOmojo]

I like everything about MFL except for their waiver setup.

Overall, the best software on the market.

I have been a staunch supporter of CBS for a while but even I feel as if now they have turned to the dark side. Does anyone have any negative things to say about MFL. It seems like a good site, even though I dont think I can customize it like most of you

I have a nagative and it's the only reason I will NOT use it, which is because of "League History".Yes, I know I can pay extra $$ to a 3rd party and get the league history data saved in one spot.

Paying extra just for that doesn't work for me.

So unless MFL finally incorporates this into their service I will never bother myself with it.

see their what's new page - three new historical league records reports were released two weeks ago.

 

[ffweasel]

There live game day is cool also. I love hearing the computer call out "Touchdown, LaDainian Tomlinson".

I don't know if enough people have discovered this great tool.I've used RTS, CBS, Yahoo in the past. I prefer MFL to all of them. It has everything I need and functions without issue. For those that like to customize, you can create even better looking leagues. The only online fantasy football league management source I recommend.

Did happen to notice that after I replied to this thread.Got curious and went over to see if anything new had popped up.

That is definitely a step in the right direction.

For me, all I would ask for is:

-League Champion

-Some game records (High Points, Weekly Marks.. etc)

-Ending Standings

-Draft for that year.

Maybe some day I'll be converted.

Why?

I'd like to know why too. I'm in a league that uses rtsports and I really dislike it. I'd change in a heartbeat.Does anyone know of a thread that gives pros and cons of different sites?

One huge issue that I have with RTS is that you can't get a dated list of transactions. They only show the transactions for the current week, by team and don't even list the transactions for a team in order. It is very difficult to get an idea on the flow of transactions. I've been requesting a better report from them for years but they don't see it as an issue.

Another RTS issue is that their "Live Scoring" is delayed at least 5 minutes. Eventually it gets there but it is painful waiting for that 70 yds TD pass to get credited to your player.

That is not true.

 

[salmonstud]

I use MFL in 5 out of 6 leagues. As previous noted, the ability to customize the site to make it look very professional along with excellent customer service makes MFL the best in the business IMO. I have not had a single crash/delay/problem this year. I had nothing but problems when using other services like CBS in the past. Get the computer nerd of your fantasy league to go to work on the homepage & you can have a really impressive league site.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

One tip for MFL users. If you don't like the navigation, set up a display box with your customized links on your MFL home page. Then set up links to where you navigate within your MFL site or even to your other MFL leagues. MUCH quicker navigating this way.

I have links for Top Performers, Waivers, Rosters, etc. right on my MFL home page.

 

[ratdog]

I think MFL is simply the best site out there. (rtsports was good as well). The thing that stnads out the most for me, and others have pointed this out, is the customer service. If you are having a problem with something, just ask. I have never had a time when the did promptly respond and do everything they could to help/fix the problem. There live game day is cool also. I love heraing the computer call out "Touchdown, LaDainian Tomlinson".

If you have LT that would be great... If you are playing against him then it is not so great.... trust me

 

[Got Urlacher?]

Been using MFL for 7 years now, wouldnt even consider leaving for another service.

We did the same thing.http://football34.myfantasyleague.com/2006/home/62031

 

[mofunk]

There are tons of ways to customize MFL. I tried to make most of the info the teams would want easily accessible on the first page via tabs.

http://football23.myfantasyleague.com/2006/home/21586

By the way, this page is set to use a 1280x1024 screen res. If you are lower then that you will need to scroll to the right to see the rest of the page. I had a couple of owners not see the right side of the page for a couple of weeks until I told them about it... LMAO

 

[Sticks2u]

Yes .....its one of the best systems out there for FF and also css tweaking
