Comments for Fantasy Hockey Site Review: Yahoo! at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 13 out of 13 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 15:58:03 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21710 My biggest issue with yahoo's drag and drop is that it doesn't ever seem smart enough to scroll- so if I want to take my 5th bench player and activate him as a C, it won't make it over the 6 D and 8 wing spots. I always have to turn it off and use the drop-down. May just be a firefox thing; anyone else have this problem and solve it? - guinnesstester Sun, 08 Jul 2012 13:46:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21224 This is an area we would love. We have an A and B group within 1 league. We can keep the schedule separate during the season, but in the playoffs, there's no way to have 2 separate brackets within a single league structure. Would be a nice feature to have. - Who Dat Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:50:06 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21218 I think mobile compatibility is something you should look at in these articles. And not just if it has an app or not. ESPN doesn't have an app and I think it works better on mobile phones than Yahoo which does. - letangerang58 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:04:53 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21217 I hate Yahoo. It's player search features are basic and unintuitive. There is no way to compare players other than going back and forth. The player cards hardly show any information. And lines changes are difficult to make with the sliding bars, especially on touch screens. ESPN is far superior IMO. A detailed search ability allows you to search for practically any combination of things that you could possibly want to search for. It includes player ratings tailored to your league over the past week, 2 weeks and season which you can sort by to find players who are preforming well now. The player cards are detailed and game logs go back to 13 days on them as opposed to Yahoo which only goes back 6, this is good for determining consistency. Also line changes are much easier to make in ESPN then in Yahoo. One problem with ESPN over Yahoo is that the rankings for the online draft are terrible. I got Jamie Benn in round 16 last season. One feature I really like with Yahoo is that you can click on a players name and it will take you to that players name and essentially show you every stat you could possibly need about a player. I wouldn't be surprised if they even included stats on how often they pooped. - letangerang58 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:02:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21216 It's a bit dated, but here is a forum thread on this same topic: [url]http://forums.dobbersports.com/showthread.php?t=41018[/url] - mabus Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:57:19 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21214 Yahoo! this past season added the ability to include draft picks in trades. This was a very handy feature to be included as previous seasons that information had to be recorded and updated on a separate spreadsheet manually. - rizzoports Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:55:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21213 Responsiveness: I've had a hard time getting responses from Yahoo for footy leagues (missed goals etc.) over the last five years. That said, our keeper league commish has had his Yahoo account suspended, and they won't tell him what for. Any contact info for someone at Yahoo who actually responds to questions regarding these types of issues instead of sending out form letters? - xtrain Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:31:31 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21208 Yahoo! is my favourite fantasy sports platform. FREE + User Friendly are the two key components, IMO. I also find it really quick to switch between leagues. I've also noted (in my fantasy baseball leagues), that a quick click on a waiver player will also tell you his "league availability" across all your leagues. I've found this to be a nice tough. I've drawn a line to play in only Yahoo! leagues. With all my teams in one-spot, I find I can manage about 4-5 teams well using just 15-30minutes/day. Thumbs up for Yahoo!, from P7. - Pengwin7 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 05:00:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21205 JTitan - you misread. 20 is the maximum on teams, not roster size. Rosters can be up to 30 players. - angelofharlem (Glen) Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:56:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21204 I agree with all of the above and I am in a similar keeper league. We have an incredible manager, James, who has insane dedication in keeping a professional, innovative spreadsheet going that tracks everything from trades to draft picks to fines to salary cap... Without that, I would recommend one of the lesser known sites for an in depth keeper. - austeane Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:58:24 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21203 waiver system flexibility and the player list are two other reasons we moved to ESPN. Just remember the Radulov yahoo fiasco this year. In ESPN, drafted players are on the list and there is no waiting for someone to show up on waivers when called up. - mabus Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:01:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21202 Our current league uses 23 players and it is on yahoo. Not sure where you ot 20 from. - JTitan Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:42:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4678-fantasy-hockey-site-review-yahoo#comment-21201 great idea for a series of articles! - OceanMon Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:30:49 +0100
