This board is not very user friendly, then having to use another one for spreadsheet and another for rosters?

I know CBS costs more and maybe this system is free or cheaper but I am just about to the point of saying "I will pay the 100 bucks if we switch to a less time finding any info, about players, where to post stuff, where to look at others posts to find out what going on with players. In 2013, there has to be a better way where we can pull up anybodys lineup with one click, find out if a guy is a FA or not with one click and post messages all in one area with one click, or a second area.

I know positively we would all personally spend less time on the sight and more time looking at players.

There's my two cents and I will doubt that will change after a full year in the league, but I will reserve the right to change it.

I also thought the boards very confusing at first. It's gotten better, but I think it's very difficult at first especially when you are thrown in during the offseason and need to archive, update rosters, post free agents, post restricted free agents, etc. It takes some time to get familiar with where they are. Since I have little cap room and am not bidding on many free agents, I find I need to spend less time on the boards now!

I do agree with you on the rosters. After you make a transaction you need to update your team's clubhouse post, the google spreadsheet, the fantrax roster, the transaction log post and perhaps others (trades). It would be good to only need to update the fantrax (or similar service) roster. There must be some service with a deep enough player database for dynasty leagues and the ability to have contracts attached to the players.

agree, but the dynasty league I am also in has 12 guys, 58 players per team...more statistical cagories...could easily expand pretty smoothly...all done with one sight and a few clicks to get to any info you want to know about everything in the league...we do not have franchise tag, RSA tag and FA bidding but that could easily be done in the message board.

Don't get me wrong, this concept may be better than the other league I am in, I won't know till after 1 or 2 seasons in the league but the site my other league uses blows this away so far.

Like I said, now that I have most of the set up work done. Just the FA process I have to go to two different sights and 2 (at min) to throw a FA out

Guess I will have a better review after I watch the Series in November again, lol....its very possible that I won't notice it as much after using it awhile...You can't learn less about something.
