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.
I think what you are seeing are mostly old AOL users who were transferred to Fleaflicker when AOL acquired the site. AOL was also free and it had even more features than Fleaflicker like double-headers, more commish control during the live drafts, logos, etc. So, you're probably seeing some frustration in that regard.
Granted there are not a lot of missing features from the old AOL League Manager but the ones that are missing are significant enough to game-play that it can leave managers frustrated.
Since when do only WRs score points? I didn't have a problem with point scoring last season and so far none of my players have scored points in the summer, including the WRs? Do you have some CFL players on your roster or something?

Curious, what bugs exist in the football that everyone is so upset about?
FleaFlicker is already better than Yahoo and most of the commerical sites and is still free!
I just see a lot of posts about "fix the football problems", I'm just curious about what those are?

I think having only WR's being able to score points is more than that!!!
ndog78Wed 6/3/09 2:07 PM
Considering the football season doesn't start for another 3 months, I don't think it's time to panic yet. :)
scotto1959Wed 6/3/09 2:18 PM
would you join a league with only WR'S scoring points???? Maybe you would!!!!
ndog78Wed 6/3/09 4:28 PM
I'm pretty sure that the scoring will be fixed fairly quickly.
scotto1959Wed 6/3/09 4:41 PM

ndog78Wed 6/3/09 5:49 PM

Since your a tard, just forget it!!
FFCSR_DougWed 6/3/09 3:22 PM
Scotto is right, there is an issue with scoring rules and we are working on it at the moment. Doesn't pertain to all leagues.
DARKSEIDWed 6/3/09 3:46 PM
Look's like you are right Scotto, he is a tard.LOL
