A lot of money spent for this!

Post by Walla Walla » Sun Aug 08, 2010 2:48 pm

Greg and Tom, I know you hate my posts but come on already. Is there no fixing this? Statements of we'll fix it next year don't mean a thing!

I payed for this year. Win or lose I should be able to set my lineup an hour after FAAB. As far as FAAB is concerned I gave up on that. True it won't make me a winner but it keeps me from improving my team. You made the statement that this year reminds you of the first year of NFBC.

I say it doesn't compare. The first year was much better. :(

You've been with us for the whole run and seen it all. You hated STATS, you hated MDC, you hated our draft software and now you REALLY hate Fanball. I've been with you for the whole ride.



I agree man, no sh*t we need to get this right. Lineups shouldn't be locked an extra hour after we say they are going to be open. Minor-league pitchers shouldn't be showing up in free agent pools and causing everyone grief. The system shouldn't be slow 30 minutes before FAAB deadline. Conditional bids should run smoothly. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I agree with all of it.



Heck, my job shouldn't be this hard DURING the season. I should be enjoying the title races with you, not constantly correcting mistakes. I'm pissed too John. I'm with ya. But I'm not a programmer and right now I need a little more quality control there to make this right. Thanks for jacking me up.

Greg, you need to head down to STL and "talk" to some folks.

While I don't usually agree with Walla's posts, this one I happen to. Claims of fixing things before next season won't go nearly as far with your customers as demonstrating that they are fixed before this season ends.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

If they are not fixed this year. Why would anyone play next season? They will need to go to 4 weekends to fill up the contest. You will be able to have 4 main event team's next year.

I'll be playing next year. Even with all the problems, it's a great game.



However, I do agree with everyone who posted that the remaining technical issues should be fixed this year. With nearly two months left in the season, the most important two months of the season, there is plenty of time to prove that the concerns of Fanball's clientele is not falling on deaf ears. By fixing the problems now, Fanball will be proving to us that we matter beyond the registration & payment period.
