NFBC Site Update Thread

Unless I'm missing some thing this upgrade is a huge step back for me. Before we had a tab for "All Hitters". Now we have to switch back and forth between tabs to get a feel for the player pool. And doing off line analysis has now become an lengthly chore. I'm just not understanding why it has been ...

Week 2 Live Event Drops

Team names and runner up bids as well. I am harvesting all that data currently, but it takes a long, long, long, long time.



Thanks.

Order of Stats

The live stats changed recently, showing they are working on things, which is great.



That said, it does read unevenly.



I agree that having the big five (with AVG either first or last, HR and RBI together of course) and then the rest would be preferable.



Thanks.

Fanball

For 55 years of age, I consider myself real. I don't text, hell, I don't even own a cell phone...but if I did, I would expect it to work. This made me lol. I'm not interested in piling on, and I'm as frustrated as anyone else, but bringing up MS and Apple is lol worthy as well. Take Apple. They lau...

Under live scoring the Daily Points link is misspelled.

Live Scoring

Please pass along that WHIP and ERA need only 2 decimal points of precision, and BA needs only 3. I know this has been mentioned before.

How about a a few kudos for Greg and Geoff

I agree. Greg admitting to and dealing with the screw-up yesterday was impressive, and on a personal level I feel for him and Geoff.

How about a Greg Sticky Thread?

There is a lot of information in the various threads. Too much to follow, but all of it important to the competition. One of the glorious features of online message boards is the sticky feature, which allows a moderator to "stick" an informational thread at the top of the forum. I think it would be ...

WHIPCalculated Wrong

In another thread (which you can't possibly be expected to have read, I know) Greg said that this will be fixed soon.



I'd insert some snarky comment about needed subject matter experts on the programming staff, but not my style :-p

Auction Values

Mad Cow, I view them as having the same utility as past year's ADP. With 9 leagues the spread becomes information, not noise. Greg, Actually I haven't discussed the issue privately with anyone. Larry over in the Ask NFBC forum said the values weren't kept. That's why I put the disclaimer up. For me ...

Auction Values

There is a rumour that auction values have not been kept/tracked and will not be added to any league pages. If I have been misinformed, please disregard the rest of this post. I am *genuinely* surprised. Everyone in my draft in Vegas assumed the values were being kept. But in the spirit of Easter, i...

3 Unanswered (or unasked) FAAB and Lineup Questions

1. Owned% and Start% - are these specific to contest type, or for all leagues in all formats? In other words, if I'm in the Main, is Owned% displayed just for Main event teams, or for all teams in satellites, Auctions, Slow drafts etc? I'm assuming it's for all teams in all formats, but would apprec...
