Updated Tech Changes

[Greg Ambrosius]

Just checked...
Games played by position is not on the players card.....

Dan, there is a category on that player card that says Games By Position. Click on that and you see current 2019 games and 2018 results.

[acesfull23]

It's there now. A couple of the changes were not working right after Greg's post but appear to be working correctly now.

[DOUGHBOYS]

Yep. There now.

Greg,

On the set lineup page for the mobile "app", it requires you to click on the "show schedule" box to see the upcoming games. I think that should be the default option and let you click the box if you DON'T want to see the schedule.

Thanks!
Marc

I don't know what the use is for the "scoring" tab. Please advise.

Yes. We already sent this to IT

Noticed that if you click any pitcher for his pop-up page, that K's are listed as 0 for every game under "Game Logs." For every pitcher.

If we are down to correcting this Tech issue then we are in GREAT SHAPE!!!

It's meant to show that each 5x5 category is weighted equally. I suppose we should change that to 15 points for most NFBC leagues and 12 points for each category in Online Championships, but that's what it's there for.

I’m still having to bench a starter to then put him in another spot after. For example I want to move Joey Gallo to CI for Justin Smoak then insert an OF for Gallo. Right now I have to bench Gallo then swap out Smoak for Gallo. Is this a change that is coming or is this the way it is staying. I just want to know if I need to plan more time for setting lineups.

[DOUGHBOYS]

Last year, our 'Set Lineup' page on Friday's would have the upcoming FRI SAT SUN with MON TUES WED THURS of the next week following.
This year, the old Mon-Thurs has been kept with our current FRI SAT SUN on the tail end, making it a little more difficult to read.
Can this be changed to the way it was last year?

We have asked for this change to Friday-Sunday games.

I posted above that this is a change that is coming next week. We still need to do some work on this, so it won't be ready today or Monday. But yes, it will be changed to what you had last year for making the simple switch to CI.

Perfect thanks Greg

Just reposting to make sure this one wasn’t missed.

[DOUGHBOYS]

Also re-posting this one....

FAAB stats for pitchers are with CG and QS. Should be ERA and WHIP.

Up/Down arrows next to each name in our bids would make the process faster for us.

Also, the scroller should not be on the extreme right side of the page.
It should be with the players so that we can still see our bids instead of having them scroll by with the players.
This should be the same way for when using the next page to drop players as well.

[DOUGHBOYS]

One more...

We have red boxes with white crosses to indicate that a player is injured in some way.
Can this be changed to.....

Red boxes with white crosses would mean the player is on either the 10 day or 60 day IL

Yellow boxes with white crosses would indicate the player is day-to-day.

This would tell us, in a glance, the severity of the players injury.

[COZ]

Can't search by K's for pitchers in FAAB by "Last 7" or" Week 2" filters, only by 2019 Stats which includes prior scoring periods. Why are we not getting K's on the player cards game logs or on FAAB Filters!??!! This is BASIC stuff. Third Week of FAAB, get your shit together boys.

[rkulaski]

Apologies in advance if this has already been brought up...

On our "Set Lineup" page, would it be possible to click on a player and drag him to the position we want? Kind of like how we do with re-ordering conditionals on a faab bid?

I guess my larger issue is that when I click on the player's position next to his name, the entire screen does some weird scoll up/scroll down before I can then select who to switch the player with. It's a strain on the eyes for a moment and I just think this could be smoother.

Why? You don't like spending 20 minutes doing something that should only take you 20 seconds? Why not make a bunch of changes to the website that most people seemed to like last year and then have a plethora of problems with the new site. Oh yeah, while fixing all the problems during the season while frustrating customers? Great business model.

[DOUGHBOYS]

It's true.
They broke something that didn't need fixed.
Rosters have been reliable and easy over the years.
Many, many folks have many, many DC's reliant that fast lineups would be the norm.
Easy rosters and set lineup was a staple of the NFBC.
No worries...... Until now.
New Company, new IT, new idea, new platform, whatever it is, it's not good. Out with the new, in with the old.

FAAB has come a long way and is close to being the standard in the industry. No major fixes are needed. Just a clean up on some categories.
PLEASE, do not 'fix' FAAB.

Live Scoring, mediocre at best.
This is the area that the NFBC has never seemingly mastered.
Other sites, clearly better in this arena.

I love Greg, love the nfbc, but yeah the set lineup page is a headache. I don’t remember exactly how last year’s set lineup page worked, but that’s a good thing, right? Must not have had any issues last year.

[Chthroop]

Hi Greg,
A few things under the live stats pages:
1. Starting Pitching is showing YTD crazy WHIPs always. Not sure why.
2. Rankings is super confusing. You should be able to chose YTD or Period

Set Transactions:
3. When are the fixes going into move players? Took me 10 minutes today moving players around for totally legal moves. Fortunately we had multi-positional players to make it work
4. I am not sure who provides your "starters" but the list is terrible compared to ESPNs

Also, looking forward to games played...

[DOUGHBOYS]

FAAB ran in about 5 minutes.
AWESOME STUFF!

[Baseball Furies]

I've got more, but I'm just so agitated right now with all the issues I'm having like everyone else is in the middle of season play. Remember, if ain't broke, don't fix it! And how many times have I begged for you guys to beta test with some of us far in advance of launch and also to survey your clientele in addition to doing live round table discussions each year for feedback and brainstorming improvements from the top people who use your product. Again us! So much of this shit could have been avoided. Such a distraction which takes away so much of the enjoyment from your contests which I was on such a high about coming out of the live events.

[sfeschuk]

Hey, small thing but I noticed yesterday in FAAB that when you toggled to Schedule mode, you saw the schedule for the current week – not the upcoming week. Seems like an easy fix but an important one.
