I have had a couple of leagues on Yahoo for 10 years. Loved them.

Now some tech idiot in Bangladesh or Switzerland or the Congo, where they don't even play football, has changed the screen to black and it is unreadable.The worst thing is, you can't even find how to complain about it. Yahoo has so many hoops to jump through, that finding where to tell them the new screen is a pile of #### is virtually impossible.

Are you talking about the draft screen?

 
The most damning part of it is he little blurb next to players names. They are now synced in with Rotoworld and update immediately. Helping out the guys that don't do their homework, hurting the ones that do.

Times change. It was time for a new look as the old interface was getting stale. I like it.

By chance, were any of those tech idiots playing on your lawn?

Click on the gear in the upper right corner. Don't know if they actually listen but people are already complaining.

 
dislike. then again i hate change for the sake of change, if i'm using any website it's because i like how they're currently doing things

 
2/3rds of the homepage is either ads or links to their projections.....haven't done a draft there so I'm not sure what their other pages look like or if the homepage changes after you draft.....so far thumbs down for me....

 
How the heck do you make keeper selections in the new format?
Same as last year. Commish tools -> Edit Keeper settings -> Yes, enable Keeper Management Tools. If you don't want to do that, the commish can assign from a link on that screen as well.

I don't mean for the commish to set the league as a keeper league. Mine is already set as one. I want to know how to make my team's keeper selections (keep 3). You could do this in the old format under My Team.

This is my biggest beef. I got into a work league and they use Yahoo. Normally a league like this would primarily be for fun and bragging rights, but there is decent money involved so of course I want to win. I watch preseason games from the time I get up until the time I go to bed, yet the guys who have never heard of E.J. Manuel or Tavon Austin have picks spoon-fed to them. When someone gets drafted, Yahoo's new "best available" list pops back up. Total BS.

Anyway, the guys who do no homework at all can hang for a handful of rounds, but eventually if they just keep taking what Yahoo is telling them is the best player available, they will make some bad picks. And then I will laugh and call them names! :devil:

You get what you pay for.

 
Seems to be loading a lot slower from page to page than before.

I know; I joined the FFA for free and get to read your comments.

Welcome to the new (not that new, actually) era of FF. You pretty much have to play with literal newbies, or in deep/dynasty leagues to have much of an advantage by doing your own homework.

 
I think the interface update is very "fresh/slick" but the background image makes the whole thing very hard to look at. In other words, it's great and it sucks.

I agree with you guys there. Why you would ever think having the 2/3 of the screen be a blurry image would be a good idea? Who gets any value out of a blurry stadium scene?
