Yahoo Fantasy Football, Sports 17+

As Great As They Come.

I wish they had one app for Yahoo Sports & Yahoo Fantasy. I understand why they created two separate apps like the other Big Names in the Game, ESPN, CBS, etc. But those apps don’t overlap information like the Yahoo Sports Apps do. I wish they either didn’t cross over info from app to app or simply had all sports related info on one individual app. because all the overlapping information between the two apps. is just too much sometimes, especially when they roll out something new. Almost everyone I speak to about Yahoo Sports & Yahoo Fantasy say the same thing which is exactly what I’m saying. There are so many other options available so they just gave up on Yahoo Sports period. I tell them they’re missing out and they joke back and tell me I’m wasting my time figuring everything out because once again the info is A+ but the web design is lacking. Lucky for myself I had patience so now I can take advantage of the A+ info that’s not available on ESPN, CBS Sports, etc. IF THEY MODIFIED THE APP TO MAKE IT SIMPLE TO NAVIGATE THRU THEY'D HAVE MUCH MORE TRAFFIC AND THE “CLIENTS” WOULD STICK AROUND FOR LONGER THAN THE USUAL 10 MINS AFTER THE SIMPLE SIGN IN PROCESS. After all that they’re still the best and I’m a pro gambler & pro fantasy football player just to give you an idea of where I’m coming from. Thanks guys.

Yahoo Fantasy on the decline

I have been a user of Yahoo Fantasy since 2003. It has been my preferred way to fantasy sports because of how easy it is to use and honestly, nostalgia. But recently, I have been disappointed with my experience on Yahoo Fantasy. There have been instances where players in fantasy baseball have not been listed in a starting lineup when they were and vice versa. As commissioner of my fantasy baseball league this has caused me many headaches due to the complaints of other in my league. My second point of concern would be the fact that it is so hard to get in touch with support. I understand that this time of year is difficult with the volume due to fantasy football but it took me 5 days to get the ruling on a tiebreaker scenario for the playoffs. I love Yahoo Fantasy and will continue to use it because it is superior to ESPN, CBS, etc. but I would like to see some internal housekeeping from time to time. Two more suggestion: can we have more than 20 characters for team names and the option to switch players out of doubleheader’s/rain outs. Thanks again!

Rotowire is terrible. Find another stat-provider.

How many people have to give you mediocre and 4 out of 5 star reviews simply because you won’t update your stats properly? It’s unreal and misguiding for any first-time leaguers. Simply just get a new provider for your stats, and add players batting averages and more face-value stats to the “player stat” page, rather than just their H/AB. Also, it’s almost impossible to comment in player chats anymore, everytime I attempt to comment, my comment gets wiped off immediately and i get no input. The chat feature is the way i get second and third opinions on how my team looks and now i have to solely bank off pure statistics that you guys don’t even provide properly. The star feature is also completely useless because it’s never accurate whatsoever. There’s a lot of work to be done, and i won’t be playing another year of Yahoo Fantasy if these problems aren’t solved. And no, I’m not going to “refer to your customer service” or any of that nonsense. take the information you gain from this review, and use it as fuel to make your application better, as this is getting to be completely unfunctional… Stop telling your customers to “refer to ___ if you have an issue with ___” and simply just get on it and fix it… we aren’t the ones working for Yahoo now, are we? Fix. This. App.
