NFBC Message Boards

A big f-u to funball. Gotta believe that a DC-style game will rise from the ashes - it's just too good a format. And the same goes for the nfbc if funball bails. Way too many dedicated people out there on all levels. Almost beyond belief that a company can be too stupid to take great ideas and run w...

Gekko: Sorry forgot about you. I missed your original contribution because you never, ever post anything worth reading and I have made it a point of passing over everything you say.

Greg - thanks for the reply.



Spyhunter - Thanks for your contribution. "In order to maintain the private nature of this league" certainly made it sound like it was closed.

Rationalize it any way you want, I find the inclusion of a closed league in an open competition to be odious.



As for the condescension in your first sentence ... well, I'm unimpressed :-þ

Are you serious?



So ... a competition that was supposed to be 'open' actually includes teams from a league that is, in effect, closed? Really?



Color me unimpressed.

"This is our debut season for the NFBC Auction Championship, a national contest that will tie in the results from Mixed Auction Leagues in all five cities. Cost is $800 per team with league prizes paying the top three spots and an overall grand prize of $15,000. These are 15-team, Mixed Auction Leag...

Is this a bug or a feature? :-þ

lmao at yet another case where player names and IDs have caused a problem. Nice work



And to think that if a couple of people had just read (and answered) e-mails and/or posts on the subject over the past couple of years ...

Billywaz: Thanks for your contribution, but you appear to be referring to dedication to the product - which I have _never_ questioned. I am talking about aspects of customer service, which I have raised here and elsewhere, and which appear to escape you and others. Now Greg sez to e-mail. You mean l...

I rest my case. There is no Customer Service here.

I continue to find it noteworthy that some people are making the same complaints that I have been making for months and they receive a response and I get nothing - and I'm including some interesting exchanges elsewhere that I will keep to myself. I am a customer, but more important right now is that...

"I disagree with this post. If there's one thing that should never be criticized when it comes to this contest, it's the customer service.



Glenn"



lmao - clearly we define it differently - not at all surprising though - given the ease with which you dispense compliments here :-þ

And we see yet again that some customers opinions are valued and others are dismissed. One of the secrets to good customer service is to make everyone think their opinions matter. That is clearly not the case here. As for the programmers, I could post an ad on the web today, do the interviewing and ...

Nine programmers working on this? NINE??? As in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9? And three weeks into the season they can't even provide bench stats? Notwithstanding the myriad other difficulties, not the least of which is somehow not being ready for the START of the season - without a doubt, they've got to be th...

Pardon me for being "unconstructive" ... just blow up the web site and start over. Worst ever ... in no particular order ... slow ... too much graphics ... lack of needed information ... poorly organized ... absolutely the pits.

There is no excuse for making a move after the start of a game. None. It's cheating.

I don't care about fair or unfair, or about when you draft, or whether you have more than one team, or whether you blow off a category or two. Big deal. However, the attraction of the main event was that the pool of teams was created at the same time. That attraction is gone, and the main event is n...

I think I have solved most of my issues. I have reinstalled Firefox and downloaded and installed the latest version of Flash Player. Still get the message about a slow script, but I clicked on 'no', and in a bit I was good to go. Also, this time I got my ranking list, and had no issues with odd sort...

Nope, that doesn't seem to be it. I've just spent another 45 minutes trying to enter another draft without getting any farther.



That's it for me. I don't want to spend any more of my time on this, and I don't want to be entering mocks and not showing for them.

Does the draft software check for duplicate team names? I just spent an hour trying to enter a mock and could get no further than seeing the banner of picks. I tried many different things but never got any farther. Now that it's over, I see that there were two teams with the same name and I'm wonder...

I've done three mocks. The grid of draft results has been incorrect each time. Here's the link to a spreadsheet that will do the job for you. No color-coding yet, but I'll see what I can do.

Made my own rankings list. Saved it. Still there. Log out and in. Still there. Start a draft, choose my list, wtf? It ain't MY list. Go on auto and check my list, it's correct. I give up.

So ... you can't search for a pitcher by name.

Add Billingsley, Wandy, and Ubaldo to that list. And after they don't appear and I clear the search text, the list reverts to "ALL" but there are no pitchers on it. Hitting "ALL" again does nothing. I have to choose a hitting position, list it, and then choose ALL.

If I type names in the search box, neither Nathan nor Billingsley come up in the list. Probably others as well. And no, they aren't already drafted. They are sitting there on the main list, but when you type in 'nat' for example, Nathan is not on the new list.
