As you probably all have noticed Fleaflicker looks a little different today. Fleaflicker will now offer fantasy baseball in addition to football.
You can start playing immediately but this is still a beta product and we need your feedback to improve it and iron out all the bugs.
About the game: The baseball game has a very similar feel Fleaflicker's football game. Our goal is to provide a game that can be easy and fun for casual players but also customizable enough to meet the demands of even the most devout Bill James followers.
The game currently supports: - Head to head points based leagues, similar to football (no rotisserie or total points yet) - Daily or weekly locking lineups - Highly customizable hitting, pitching and fielding scoring rules
All of your past footbal teams and leagues will remain totally intact.
In addition, here are upgrades for baseball that will also apply to football: - Ability to set future lineups - Roster max increased to 40 players (+ IR spots) - News provided by Rotowire - Positive values only scoring option (you can prevent players from scoring negative points in any given game) - Option to lock all lineup slots when the first game of the week starts - Trading delay removed (you no longer have to wait until Tuesday to trade players that had games earlier in the week) - Increased ability to sort on free agent player pages and filter on stats pages - Forum dedicated to recruiting new owners - Forum dedicated to user submitted news and analysis
Please send us your questions, suggestions and issues via email or on this forum thread.
Hope its sooner rather then later, no point in drafting baseball leagues and being an active owner in hoops and hockey if there isnt going to be a fleaflicker.
After reading the article again the transition to sporting news isnt suppose to happen until sometime in March, so Ori knowing something within 1-2 weeks was probably more like 1-2 months.
Still not sure how this affects the fantasy side of things though and why a few minor upgrades cant be implemented, unless writers like Kevin Blackistone are programmers on this site..
I read through other articles about the TSN move. Rumour is that more cuts are planned at AOL. This could mean services as well as staff. Either way, I'm preparing for the worst by making sure I backup rosters and draft info for my keeper leagues in case I have to move them to another site. I hope all of this is unnecessary as I love Flea.
Yeah, thats the worst part about this is just not knowing whats going on.
I really dont want to be wasting my time setting basketball lineups, drafting baseball teams and then being a commish I really dont want to be wasting my time sending e-mails to find out if somebody is coming back and then having to find replacements if flea is going to eventually shut down..
I could be using this time transfering leagues to espn..But at the same time I dont want to prepare for a move if everything is going to be ok and flea stays alive.
So it is over a week, but less than two. Any news at all?
