And I completely get wanting to do it all in-house to cut down costs. But, make sure what you're putting out there works right and at least have it roll out and let people have time to get accustomed to all the changes.
Agree, and also make sure a degree from MIT isn't needed to utilize the tools. I'm curious what percentage of all subscribers can/will utilize all the bells and whistles that they dream up. That being said, I've been trusting them for 16 years now and have many championships to show for it so we all need to be supportive and calm and make the best of it till we all get this figured out. Thanks to all you guys who are helping and those that are doing the fixing, great teamwork!

Oh I definitely appreciate the tools they provide, but they just need to make sure they're all working correctly before they release them for use.

 
No I'm afraid not; please work with us to make this new version even better than the old one ever was!
Simon.  Why would this be rolled with the inability to sync with other websites that you could prior? Re: Fantrax.  And when is it expected to be able to do so?

 
Can't sync the league without some weird blank pop up showing up and nothing happens afterward. FBG is failing me miserably. This is a total let down. My competitive edge has turned into a waste of time and money. I'm spending more time trying to figure out how to make a broken website work instead of researching players in an easy to digest format that is familiar. I am drafting like a ####### guppy.

I rely on FBG for the well-researched content they have always provided so I do not have to draft blindly. I am only in one fantasy league. We're in the middle of our draft and with FBG's colossal screwup here I am drafting blindly. I've been a subscriber since 2006 and all the trust established through the years has been obliterated. I am paying for content that is not being delivered, and at a higher cost than ever before. There are too many other fantasy football sites out there NOT screwing up their websites at the height of the fantasy drafting season. I find myself asking why I am sticking with FBG. So I can beta test the ####### website?

Joe Bryant, this is incredibly disappointing. How are you going to resolve this? You can't restart my draft, we're in the 10th round and the longer these website problems linger the worse my fantasy team will get.

ichris,  can you provide some details on the league that is failing to sync?

 
@Simon Shepherd - for the enhancement list:

  1. the choice to lose the graphics with the player pix (which is too small to see anyway) and the team name/position in favor of having more rows of data viewable - scrolling sucks.
  2. Ability to resize the player information pop-up
  3. on the availability filter include a selection for "Free Agents & Your Team" to better compare whether making a swap makes sense. 
  4. having links to the articles included on the pop-up (the ones listed on each player page today).  reading the articles, both at FBG and from around the web, helps put the player projections into context and lets us make our own decisions.

Sure I'll help you guys find bugs in your website instead of focusing on my draft. What information do you need? Did you see the screen shot I posted earlier?

Can you verify you are logged in? Looks like you don't have any leagues. If you are logged in, could you tell me which browser you are using? We are having some issues with non-chrome browsers that we are working on fixing as I speak, but for using the app right at this moment chrome will give you the best experience.

 
I was able to sync the league I just drafted on Sunday and everything seems to work but the new format is really going to take some time getting use to.

 
Logged in on my Safari browser... Guess I will need to install Chrome on this Mac and try again. Been wasting my entire morning trying to get it to work on Safari.

When not logged in you don't get the rankings page

I use to love highlighting my players and selecting other teams players to see them better (including free agents) ... can we do this in the new format? 

I wish we had classic back

Yes, you can do that. On the personalized rankings page, click the team name's in the grid and it will highlight other players on that team. Free agents will be highlighted later today.

Don't forget to mention you also can't use Ctrl+F to search for "free" and highlight all the free agents. It doesn't work. No workaround.

That's assuming your league loads the correct rosters and doesn't list everyone as Free Agent.  Like mine.

And when it does it only highlights the team field, not the entire row.  Is that an easy change? It's much more attention-grabbing that way.

 
had same issue on Safari.  Logged in with Chrome and it worked perfectly.
It looked okay for a minute. Then someone else in the league made a draft pick so I synced the league and next thing I know all the players are free agents and it looks like the projections are all jacked up again. Travis Benjamin ranked 6th overall and WR5?! I can't trust any of this information.

Totally agree with these!

 
OK - filters work.  I tried the  (Ctrl F) trick and typed in "Free" ... half of them got highlighted and half didn't.  I'll wait until the fix is in.

The projections on both of my leagues are exactly the same and one is a PPR and one is not.  I may have missed this or not, but not sure if scoring is linking to league.

My finger is hurting from a) resetting the filters all the time and b) the SCROLLING!

Using your credentials you PM'd me yesterday. I took a look at this. I'm not seeing the same thing at all. Travis Benjamin shows up 6th in the list when you filter by available, but nothing I have tried has made him show up as WR5 or the number in the overall box 6. He is at 175 overall and WR39 in your league for me. I'll keep trying to recreate this, but so far this rankings issue has been isolated to just you.

 
Just imported my MFL league on Chrome. Appears to have worked correctly with one issue others have reported already. Only 11 of 12 teams were imported. The #12 team in the league is omitted and in it's place myFBG shows a 'Team 1' in the team list with no players on it. All of the players for the #12 team in our league are listed as free agents as a result.

Judging by our league the bug appears to be a failure to look for/recognize the #12 team on MFL.

Finding the option to import your league was like searching for an easter egg, just kept clicking on things until I found it. Was not very intuitive.

Others have reported that clicking sync from the leagues screen fixes this issue. We are working on a fix, so that isn't necessary.

 
Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a way to pull up dynasty rankings in the new system with team names and free agents?

Same thing that happened last night. I had to refresh my browser and it seemed to fix the jacked up projections. At least for now. Whether any of the information I see is trustworthy I have no ####### clue. 

 
Desktop user.  On Chrome, which seems to be the preferred browser, I can't log in because there is no password field.  I can log in on IE but it won't synch.

The sync option corrected the #12 team issue. Now editing our scoring rules is not working correctly.

The 'DONE' button works sometimes (doesn't work others) and it is not saving my changes now. For some reason myFBG is defaulting our RECEIVING scoring to have different scoring by positions (we do not do this). When I click on the link to turn it OFF it accepts the change but when I hit 'DONE' it either does not work or if it does, does not save the change.

For what it is worth, this error only occurred after the sync you recommended. I had set up the scoring prior to the sync and the different position issue in the receiving was not present and everything was saving correctly.

Can't login to the cloud login? Or can't login to a league host (yahoo/espn)? What version of IE are you using?

 
Desktop Review (Firefox 48)

  1. Load speed on landing page is slow, particularly for loading the news and articles.  Frequently causing browser to go into Not Responding state.
  2. Clicking 'All News' displays "No recent news articles found" even though there are some on the landing page.  Also extremely taxing on the browser.  Clicking the source link opens a new window instead of a new tab.  I'm a big fan of new tabs for clicking a link instead of new window or exiting tab.
  3. The gigantic Article images take my focus away from reading the title of the article, which is itself difficult to read because it's embedded in the image.  Not particularly a fan of the color filters on the images, would prefer a normal image and just the color bar at the bottom.  I think a similar display to the News items with a small image, and clear easy black on white text to the right of it would be so much easier on the eyes.  IDP/Analysis colors are nearly identical.
  4. Articles pull up nicely, a lot of edge whitespace on the sides which is not seen on landing page.  Would prefer the twitter links open a new tab instead of existing.
  5. NFL Teams page pulls up quickly. Some differentiation between the NFC and AFC would be nice, Red/Blue bars for the title?
  6. Return of major whitespace for the individual team overview page, but looks good.  Camp Updates (no whitespace) could use a date on them to know when it was last updated, but also looks good.  Depth chart (no whitespace) is extremely difficult to read having to go from right to left for starters, then center for reserves.  It doesn't flow very well when trying to read the page. Why are there are no IDPs or option to display them on the depth chart?  No news pulls up on the news tab, and the news polling takes a long time.  Also no articles on the articles tab.  A change team dropdown or other form of selection would be nice at the top of the individual team pages to quickly go to a different team.
  7. ADP page functions well except the position filter does not display anything.
  8. Staff rankings.  Position filter does not display anything. Staff filter can only select all or none, not individuals. Switching from Standard to Dynasty loads only Terfertiller and Simpkins, then switching back to Standard leaves only Terfertiller.  Bizzare filter carryover stuff.
  9. Daily news cuts off at Aug 14th.  Links open new window instead of tab.  Side whitespace makes an appearance again.
  10. The hamburger menu and the account menu have some jarring effects on the screen when opened, forcing open the sidebar and you lose visibility of some of whatever you were currently looking at.

I found the dynasty rankings, but there needs to be a way to apply your league teams/free agents to those rankings just like you can the Personalized Rankings.

Really good feedback here, Thanks!

1. This is mostly due to the way news works, it's on our list of things to fix. Probably slowest the first time you load the page.
2. Looks like you've found a bug I need to fix as there should be some news articles showing there. I found when trying it myself, it worked today in firefox, but yesterday was broken. Regardless, using Chrome is the temporary solution here until I fix this.

3, 4, 5. We'll look at making improvements to these pages once we get the bugs fixed up, good feedback here though.

6. IDPs are on our todo list for the depth chart. News tab could be the same firefox issue, or it could be that there is no news for that team from today. We are going to add more options than just day by day selection in the future. Articles issue is likely same issues as news. Really good feedback. 

7, 8. Filter not displaying anything is a firefox issue, it is being fixed today. Chrome will give you a better experience in the short-term.

9. I'll get the latest daily updates in there right now.

10. Good feedback here, we'll try to make this a better experience once we get everything in a better state.

I'm using an iPad. I can't get anything to work. I even tried adding a new league and trying from scratch and I get "enter team name" WHICH IT WONT LET ME DO!! I am seriously losing patience with this. There isn't even a tab to click to explain how to do any of this. What a disaster.

 
Ok so when you got to link a league you get this vague box. As soon as you start typing "username" appears next to the box. So I type my name in and then it says "we need a password!" Where for the ove of God domyountyoe the password in!?!

:wall:  I understand your pain. When I suffered through that part of the new website I think I pressed tab and the password field sort of showed up. It doesn't get much better after you are logged in. 

 
Can we please have the old format back? I don't even like the way the rankings lists come up. The old ones were perfect to print out. So yeah, I'm old school and still actually draft off a piece of paper.

For those using apple mobile devices, there is an app on the app store we'd recommend you use. However, it doesn't yet have the latest updates released less than a day ago on the website. There are issues with non-chrome browsers, they are being fixed, should be a lot better viewing the webpage from an iPad at that point, but the app will likely always give you a better experience, it just might be a little (a few days)  behind the website in terms of updates.

 
So my question to FBG - Where do we see our subscriber contest entries? 

AM I the only one that is frustrated with the 4-5 extra pages to actually get what we could get off of one page with classic? I only have 1 league so I have no idea how you guys that do 11-12 leagues. terrible setup and application use - very unfriendly for people to use....

Please keep your feedback constructive or we can't do anything about it. Thanks. Please try to think, "am I giving Footballguys something they can action here?"

Contest entries are visible as they've always been on the main site.

can you get us a screenshot on this? I can't see it. You can email it to shepherd@footballguys.com thanks.

 
The guys are doing another release tonight and they are compling up a change log. If you've had issues that the changelog addresses, please double check them once the new version has deployed.

This isn't a fix-everything release, but it should be a fix-a-lot release.

 
@Simon Shepherd IDP projectors just disappeared on me.    Were there earlier today, now gone.  Only can choose from OFF, PK & TD.  

Desktop & chrome. 
Scratch that.  Clicked on Pre-season and they magically reappeared.   Default I guess was to week 1 when  I went to MyFBG .

We don't have IDP projections for week 1 yet, that is why they weren't there. We did however get initial PK and TD projections for week 1 in today.
