Yahoo vs CBS Sportsline (1 Viewer)

[Finless]

...provided you have played in both leagues, which do you prefer and why?

I have a preference but I'll save that for later.

I dont like yahoo, you have to pay for up to date results. ESPN does it for free, I haven't played fantasy on cbs sportsline, so I'm not sure. Yahoo needs to update faster.

Last year Yahoo, this year CBS. I can honestly say that CBS is better and the season hasn't even started.

Draft room was better, customization is better, and updating stats. For the cost of our 12 team league the money evens out.

 

[Finless]

Just need a few more

 

[Wrigley]

We play our 5X5 $$$ roto league on Yahoo.

It fits the bill for what we want.

Plus it's free..........the extra $$$ that would go to CBS goes to the winner

Yahoo doesn't do dynasty, plus CBS allows entry of unlisted players as placeholders until the "real" player is added.

yea, this would have come in handy, as we had 4 players drafted that were not in the Yahoo database. No Colon, Cueto, Kershaw, or Carlos Gonzalez?We ended up adding players that we knew no one would want in their places(our keeper system is based on where players are draftd)

if its for big money go cbs. hands down, and up, and down, and up....

yahoo baseball commish here

league i am running is in its second year on yahoo and they have a dynasty option

i can look at the final rosters from last year, along with final standings

If you haven't played on both, don't vote. It's like comparing a Lexus IS350 to a Honda Accord when you've never driven the Lex. Sure, Accords are good cars but not in comparison.

I like CBS, but I've been playing on there for years now.

Yahoo > CBS IMHO

We use CBS for football and its' just not as elegant of an interface. There's a bit more information but I don't use that site as my primary source for info anyways. The ease of changing lineups (drag and drop) and the bonus of stat-tracker are what put Yahoo over the top for me.

The new Accords do look nice.

I believe you are mistaken. I don't believe Yahoo carries teams and their rosters over from one year to the next. Just because you can see the final rosters and standings from the previous year, doesn't mean yahoo carries them over to your team the next year automatically. Plus there's the ability to add unlisted players. That's very important to a dynasty league.

You have to be kidding me. It's like comparing bacon to cooked carrots.

To each their own.Yahoo is very easy to use, CBS not so much.Yahoo is great for our 5X5 league. But CBS is great for my Points based league.Do I think Yahoo is better than CBS? NO. But the price is right.

For basic redraft leagues the gap is much smaller than you are implying....ESPECIALLY when you consider price. IMHO user interface is more important than some info/stat fature that I'll never use. Again.. personal preference.

Still no Cueto. Is yahoo on drugs? - Mr. Hand

Yahoo doesn't add players until the season starts after the initial database is released.

Doesn't that seem a little dumb?

No. It has always been this way. This way there won't be some leagues that have players available and others that do not, just because they drafted early.

So Yahoo's answer is for those players to not be available to anyone, when they should be adding them to the database just like lots of other site do. That's weak. Just like not having a keeper league option, Yahoo is always one step behind the competition.

 

[Finless]

Yes, it is dumb and so is Yahoo. I can't believe anyone uses this site willingly...truly horrible.

Yahoo also doesn't add people until they are on the 25-man roster and sign with the players association. Cueto wasn't added to the Reds 25-man roster until today.

There are lots of ML players listed in the database. What about Longoria? Chase Headley? Both were sent down before the season started. Whatever their policy is on this, obviously it sucks. By the way, still no Cueto.

Both players were on the 40-man roster before the season started when the main database was created and Cueto was not.

 

[Wu-banger]

CBS all the way....

Currently play in both for years..... CBS has been better this year by far , and consistently better through the years.

Just today I finally got a glitch fixed where I could not add a player even after I DL'ed Lidge..... cost me a save yesterday with not having Lyon in his spot.

No matter how you slice it, it's ignorant that Cueto isn't in the player database.
