...any chance of NFBC adding H2H Leagues? Probably won't be back otherwise, H2H could be a huge addition to NFBC IMO.

I think the key to winning in any fantasy baseball format is dominating the player pool. If you failed at picking the right players in Rotisserie Baseball, I'm not sure why you'd be so much more successful at h2h fantasy baseball. I mean, would your players in that same 12-team or 15-team format have performed better in h2h rather than in a season-long game?

We already have a LOT of different formats and honestly I've seen enough companies take their eyes off the ball and become unsuccessful by trying to be something for everyone. We're not a h2h style game company. Others do that already in the industry. We're also not a salary cap game operator. Others already do that in the industry. There are plenty of options in the industry with several companies I'd recommend.

What we do VERY WELL is run season-long games in a Rotisserie-style format for 12 teams and 15 teams. In the next two weeks, we'll be unveiling a totally re-written Live Scoring setup that will make watching your teams over the course of the entire season incredibly enjoyable and we'll be unveiling Live Overall Standings that will be so addictive you won't leave your computer screen for the TV. But we don't do h2h style games, at least not now.

Sorry, I wish I could help, but we have other areas right now that provide more growth for us and h2h style games aren't on the drawing board. Good luck and hopefully you'll find something in the NFBC that works for you next year and every year after that.
