Johan Santana not showing up in Player Search

[TRAIN]

He was there last week. What happened?

[Hawk]

Maybe he's in hiding after the shellacking he got last night?

He's trying to change his name to "Ben Sheets"

Brett Cecil not showing up either. Greg, Geoff, or Tom - is IT aware of this?

NFBC will pull players deemed outstanding dumped to prevent unfair advantage for the whole of the contest in question. But if you need questions answered by Fanball I'd go to the NFFC site.

I posted this a week ago and never got a response. Cecil, Santana, and who knows how many others are still not showing up. Is IT looking into this?

I noticed that there were a few other players missing too. Lovely!

Is IT looking into this? well, some (hopefully not all) of their IT staff is busy building the NFFC (football site) for this year.

[/QUOTE]To address the Santana question, players that are already on a team (and I certainly hope Santana is on a team in every NFBC league), the player will NOT show up in the player search from the Free agent page. If he was dropped it was almost certainly an accident and was placed back on that team. When players are accidentally dropped, they are often replaced without an update or acknowledgment from the commish which I have always disagreed with. The league should always be aware of changes made to ensure integrity and save players time trying to trace what happened on their own.



As for the second part, I'll be madder than Walla if this is true, Mark. We've been strung along for weeks for some pretty basic things (MLB YTD stats on our stats page and the ability to sort weekly stats leaders in overall standings)and deadline after deadline has passed. Time for the benefit of the doubt has also passed. Fanball needs either more employees working on these things OR more qualified employees working on these things. Too few individuals have too much on their plates and too much is slipping through the cracks and falling by the wayside. We're still a long way from reaching NFBC standards IMO and my opinion is worth $$$.

On this topic, in previous years with STATS, when we searched for a player who was on a team, when we clicked on that player the player page would open up and include both what team that player was on AND what date/how he got there. I have found that this saved a LOT of time when tracking players and would be a worthy addition to the player pages as soon as IT finishes with football.

The player search was working fine until they had to re-run the FAAB last week because all players were put back in the FAAB pool after the initial FAAB run last Sunday. After the re-run, no Santana, no Cecil, and who knows how many others.



If it is true that the reason for no respnonses to problems and requested enhancements to the software is because the programmers are now working on the NFFC, it is a slap in the face to all of the NFBC players who put up their money thinking they were getting a first class product and experience.

I try to be optimistic and patient but it sure is getting tougher......

This still has not been fixed.
