All i can tell is that the game admin doesn't give a damn about the game, you can see some status of the players are yet updated (e.g Mo Williams still in Bucks, Ron Artest still in Kings), not to mention the crappy pre-rank system and the completely misleading default ranking (Agent Zero on 7th!?, Monta Ellis on 32th!?).

Yahoo has been clearly doing a much much better job in terms of their Fantasy NBA administration (http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba).
They once had serious flaws (such as players' points disappeared for few match days in the point-based league i took part in) 2 or 3 seasons ago (cant remember when), but they reacted quickly and patched the game within days. The pre-rank system works exactly what it does at players' ease. The default ranking is better aligned with the objective observations thus represents the effectiveness of players more appropriately in the upcoming season (Agent Zero on 110th and Monta Ellis on 131th as a result of future uncertainty due to serious injury).

My proposal is that we transfer from NBA.com to Yahoo. Huge task? Yes. More pleasant gaming experience? Can't guarantee but very optimistic according to the history.

Nonetheless, I am for the move of using the current default ranking for the possible manual draft if we had to stick to this game. I understand some aren't happy with the default ranking (myself included) but i think it will be too difficult for the game's founder to manually draft each team based on multiple rankings.

P.S. I didn't play much fantasy sport games in websites other than Yahoo. Though I did play Pick-one Challenge last season on NBA.com and it was an overall pleasant experience.

fren, why not you create the nba yahoo so that we can play also. If you ready, then just set the draft date to this coming Sunday (26 Nov). No reward also no problem, we can play for fun. Cheers!

Totally Agreed, maybe we give up this ufc.nba to Yahoo, I don't mind either, I just wanna play.

I only played once with ufc.nba last year, which only 5 owners, we did offline draft.

by the way, the positive side on a live draft even if any of us cannot show up on the live draft, the system will use your personal pre-draft ranking instead of the default.

thanks, I don't like the default draft ranking too.

Let's go for PLAN C, we do the OFFLINE DRAFT, which I am going to do the draft for everyone, if the ufc.nba system still can not populated the rosters by tomorrow. 10/21 US TIME.

FOR ALL OWNERS, PLEASE PM ME OR POST HERE YOUR PRE-DRAFT RANKING by 10/23 US TIME. (I can not access to your pre-draft ranking in ufc.nba, I having same function as you beside about the setting of the league),

Then I am going to do the OFFLINE DRAFT for every owner, which I am going to draft by YOUR PRE-DRAFT RANKING FIRST, then by the system DEFAULT ranking.  So I will go by DEFAULT Ranking for the owner if you don't provide me your draft ranking within 10/23 US Time.


Hopefully this will work & satisfied for all owners.

pm & email all owners at the same time, 10/20 9:40AM US Eastern Time
