Re: The Official Greg, Tom, Darik Live Chat Thread: Ask Here

Chris, this already exists (and did last year, too) in the draft room. There is an icon with 4 little lines to the right of the player search box that allows you to create, edit, and save custom lists. They will then be there in any draft room you open. And you’re saying the custom rank function ca...

Re: Prizes Are In Accounts - Here's How You Claim Them

Big thanks to Greg, Tom and Sportshub. Prizes were quick, and super efficient with all the options. Outstanding guys, and miles better than the old CDM days. Great job and even with the FAAB and layout kinks earlier this season, amazing job by Greg and Co for fixing stuff and making improvements to ...

Re: Ohtani 2019

Ideally we'd program him as one player with dual eligibility and each week you'd decide whether to start him as a pitcher or as a hitter. No two different players for one guy in the NFBC (one hitting, one pitching). At least that's my opinion. I'm come to agree that that is probably the best approa...

Re: Ohtani 2019

I know Greg has said his programmers couldn't manage to fix it for this year, and while that is understandable, it is of course too bad that one of the funnest stories in baseball this year was largely ineligible to be on any of our rosters. But Greg also said if Ohtani ended up doing both, he would...

Re: FAAB issues again?

Very frustrating. Deadline has to be pushed back, but I know I personally (in Japan) put off work until after deadline and have appointments right after. Mistakes happen, but frustrating to have them happen at the same time so often lately.

Re: Set Lineups After The All-Star Break

There is a problem with the setup. I just moved Carlos Martinez out of my starting lineup, even though he pitched on Thursday. While the system should allow us to move any hitter in or out on Friday, Cardinal and Cub pitchers should be locked. Thanks.

Re: Live Scoring

Please include at-bats and innings pitched in the mobile live stats. Without at-bats there is no distinction between a player who has gone 0-7 that day and a player who is sitting out, as both show 0-0-0-0-.0000

Re: FAAB Deaadline Easter Sunday Changed To Midnight ET

I actually enjoy the product at NFBC quite a bit- much better than any national contest I have played before. Perfect? Of course not. Do I love this new interface and having to wait to FAAB today? No again. But I do know that Greg will get things ironed out as he always does. So speaking for myself,...

Re: Claim Your 2017 NFBC Prizes NOW!!

Everything worked fine, so thank you Greg and Tom. Just a heads up in case it affects anyone else. The login that worked for me was actually the old E-mail address and password that I used for CDM, not my current NFBC one. So if anyone else has both CDM and NFBC logins and the NFBC one doesn't work,...

Re: Shohei Otani Will Be Eligible At One Position In 2018

Glad to know the policy is being set early so no one drafts Otani expecting more value than he ends up having. I can't think of anyone that wouldn't want the advantage of having one of their pitchers chip in toward their R/HR/R totals. But that brings up the question of the global effect of countin...

Re: Shohei Otani Will Be Eligible At One Position In 2018

One further point too. What if Otani starts out playing both positions, and NFBC decides to list him as, say, only a pitcher. And then for whatever reason the team decides he is a better hitter, and will play that position the rest of the year (not likely, I grant you, but what if there were some in...

Re: Shohei Otani Will Be Eligible At One Position In 2018

Hi Greg, Just my two yen, but why do you have to decide on him now? I mean there are other players who won't be decided on between now and the end of the next regular season, so why is it so urgent to make a final decision on Otani in October? I think by locking into a position now, you are putting ...

Re: Last Week Of The NFBC Season....Maybe

I agree with what others have stated here. Keep games 163 as part of the contest, but do away with letting owners make moves for one game. There is zero skill in selecting every player on the two teams that you own, vs sitting everyone else. Which makes it very different from every other week of the...

Re: How About A $100,000 Grand Prize In The NFBC Cutline?

In regards to OA prize vs league prize, OA prize is definitely the thing I dream about and the main attraction. At the same time, though, I hope to at least break even in my bad years and make money in my decent years when I can't get to the big board. So I don't think I'd want to play in a league w...

Absolutely fantastic decision Greg- makes me love the NFBC even more. And 100% justified. Just one comment- why not only letting one family member in a league, not two? With 12 team leagues, two isn't really good, even if they aren't trying to cheat. Just discussing moves they will make will put oth...
