Free Agents -- Sorts, Pool, Lists etc.

Post by Chameleon » Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:07 am

Hi -- I noticed a few things on the free agent lists that I hope get ironed-out:



(1) there are no 2009 stats to look at how players did last year. Are we getting these?



(2) you cannot sort the free agents by either Percentage Owned, or by Percentage Active ... I made this suggestion last year, which you implememented (thank-you for that). Is this coming again?



(3) the pages load REALLY slow. Is this going to cause issues on Sundays. I don't think it's my machine.



(4) there is a new sort feature with Rookies ... I thought that unless a minor leaguer was drafted and rostered on draft day, he automatically became ineligible for FAAB until such time as he was called-up by his major league team. To me, looks like I can bid on all sorts of "rookies" who were not drafted on draft day in my league (e.g., Mike Moustakas), which seems contrary to the rules. Please clarify.



THANKS!

PS # 5 -- I also forgot to ask about the "flagging" of potential Free Agents ... I don't see the ability to "flag" guys now, which he had last year...

Does anyone know if they'll also be an option to search for a player by name, if there is already i just haven't found it.

THANKS! Good morning everyone. Yes to all of these.



I think I stated last night that new features will be rolled out today for free agency. Now that everyone has predicted that 1) we would not load in rosters in time; 2) we were imploding because the Super Leagues weren't loaded in time; and 3) FAAB would never be set up in time, it's time to enhance what we have.



Today we are correcting data entry mistakes on rosters. It's something we have to do every year after rosters are loaded. Humans input the numbers and unfortunately humans make mistakes. So we are correcting all of them today. If you see any mistakes on your roster, send them to [email protected] rather than just post them here.



We have the free agency tool in place and now we are adding features to it. Some are already in place, but we just need to go over everything as a team to make sure we are on the same page together. We'll get most of the features you want in place soon, so please don't jump off any bridges in the meantime. I can't catch you if you fall.

Commenting in this thread as it was the most current regarding free agents. Yes, please allow us to search by player name. Also, I chose not to add a conditional pick then went back to change this and was unable. Now I must delete the pick and start over. Very frustrating and time consuming. Gregg and/or Geoff, please comment.

Hi -- (1) ability to sort by % owned and % active is now gone (was there the other day). What gives?



(2) Also, where is the "track player" feature?



(3) Still no access to 2009 stats (not that critical, but would be nice.)
