Discussion Yahoo app has gone off the deep end

604 Upvotes

I absolutely cannot fathom these design decisions. I'm playing fantasy basketball here. LET ME SEE STATS. On mobile why can I only see 4 fucking columns at a time. Player names take half the damn screen width and don't even include their picture. The spacing is so excessive and ugly it makes me want to puke. Yahoo this is self destructive behavior. You had 1 job, to let me see stats, and you're failing harder every year. I wish I could pay negative dollars for this freemium butt grease. You should be ashamed of yourselves

Update: I've left my first Play Store review

Update 2: They updated the app and my team stats are easier to view. So far it looks like I can play fantasy again

Discussion What player do you beat yourself up for not drafting?

117 Upvotes

For me its Dylan Harper. I had him as a target in all my pre-draft strategies and he was ranked around 100 on ESPN so I planned to grab him in the 9th or 10th round.

In the 8th round, I had a chance to grab him, but I decided to wait 1 more round and grabbed Franz Wagner then someone grabs Harper 4 picks later.

I know he's going to ball out this season but hopefully it doesnt bite me in the butt

Discussion Commissioner thinks listening to fantasy basketball podcasts is cheating

687 Upvotes

The commissioner in our league has been really salty that he’s been missing good pickups on the wire and I told him that a few of us listen to the Josh Lloyd podcast to get info on pickups. I thought that would help the situation but it has spiralled out of control.

Our commissioner is claiming that listening to any fantasy basketball podcast is cheating since we aren’t ’thinking for ourselves’ (his words). And as commissioner he’s banning them from our league. Someone picked up Josh Minott last night and this morning the commissioner put him back on the waivers saying that he only got picked up because of the podcasts. He also messaged me that he’s going to the same to Ryan Rollins, who I picked up after the first Bucks game, unless I can prove I wasn’t listening to a podcast.

We’ve been in this league for 7 years, but it’s this guy’s first year as commissioner and all the other teams agree with me that he’s being ridiculous.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation where the commissioner has gone off the rails?

Discussion Forget small sample size: Who are we panicking on based on early evidence like role or minutes?

96 Upvotes

Right now I'd look at quite a few mid round big men: Sarr, Okongwu, Clingan, all who have had very little usage and even limited minutes.

who else is just not getting the usage and/or role expected so far in a small sample, evidence of perhaps a poor season incoming beyond just a few games?

306 Upvotes

It's only been 2 days since the season and only 28 teams have played, it's time to panic if your team is underperforming. This is a litmus test for the rest of the season. You need to start offering trades now and make drastic moves.

If you are too slow to move, you could jeopardize your season

Almost half of my league already informed me this is their last year. Our league has been going on for 20+ years. It's just not fun anymore with all the resting and tanking. Looking at the players the championship teams are starting this week, it's a joke. I mean for gods sake Quentin Grimes is resting lol. Adam Silver has ruined the NBA and fantasy I once loved.

Shout out to all the fantasy champions this year! Through all the draft hits and misses, waiver wire pickups, silly season streamers and load management, you've outlasted your league and stand on top.

Thanks to all the regulars in this sub, we've all come here for a second opinion on a potential pickup, drop or streamer, and the sub was a big help all season long.

That said, talk some trash and post up your best players, favorite wire pickups and playoff stars below. Congrats on a successful year!!

FAQ

  • How are players ranked?

Each player's line is compared to 2025-26 per-game averages for their primary position (G, F or C, using players who averaged 20+ minutes). Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ±5 and summed into the Night Score.

  • Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a great game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't perform well, it just means that some players had a more balanced performance than them across the 9 categories.

Discussion Yahoo App almost unusable

208 Upvotes

Today in their update to the player cards they removed the rankings column for each player over the last week, two weeks, month, year and last year...

The players page has been completely ruined, half the screen is the player names, they mashed trending and available players together to make room for the y+ toolkit nobody uses, and you can only view like three coloums at time and they've added several new useless coloums.

I just genuinely can't evaluate players anymore, it's so tedious and time consuming scrolling back and forth, and half the time you scroll over to matchup or league.

No player icons on the team page and again all the stats to the side not underneath like usual. Straight up garbage. The whole game is just looking at and evaluating stats and they have made that the worst possible experience while cluttering every inch of every page with some stupid crap about advance analysis... Just let us functionally view the stats for the categories we r playing. Analyzing the stats and making decisions is the only thing you even do in this game, I don't want you to analyze it for me and spit out 1 number that tells me pick this guy.

Am looking to just manually transfer all the teams to a different platform, everyone in the league is fine with it if I just do the leg work.

Every app is asking me to make an account to see the UI, wanted to narrow it down, can anyone tell me which app is best for just being able to properly see the stats? These updates have ruined the entire experience

You did it. You picked up league winners like Ryan Rollins or VJ Edgecombe or Daniss Jenkins or Jalen Smith.

Somehow I survived the most cutthroat season yet.

Somehow the runaway highest-scoring team lost SGA during the playoffs.

Somehow Maxime Reynaud and Stephon Castle saved my season.

And luckily for me, somehow our playoffs were during Luka Doncic's best stretch of his career.

How did you win?

Discussion The Utah Jazz should be stripped of draft picks

495 Upvotes

Look we all get it with the resting b2bs, the phantom injuries etc. it’s rampant in the league, it sucks but at least you can use IL and IL+ and league settings to help with it.

The jazz are now picking guys and once they get ahead actively benching them for the entire second half such as Lauri to make sure they lose. This is basically match fixing and undermines the integrity of the league, and the only way to hurt them is to remove the incentive.

At least if a player is held out you can put them on IL and play someone else, this way you have to play them to get half games because the team is rigging it to lose in a professional sports league.

Especially given the Jazz have already been fined for their behavior, the league has to come down on this.

Collin Murray Boyles plays very low minutes for some reason despite the fact that Kawhi is no show. I believe he has no problem filling up the statsheet in coming few games. There's no way he all of a sudden forgets how to play basketball.

Discussion Adam Silver needs to step in

400 Upvotes

The tanking is out of control. BS injury reports, fans paying for tickets to see backups.. it's no wonder viewership is suffering in today's NBA.

BUT, this is a fantasy sub, so let's focus on how it ruins our little hobby. You own some wizards players? Tough shit. Same thing with a handful of other teams.. I currently own Lauri from the jazz who's already too good he might produce wins, and I worry about the Bucks eventually tossing in the towel for my kpj and Rollins.

So who do you currently own who's getting tanked on a daily basis? Who are some players that might be worthless come playoff time? Would you be in favor of the league punishing obvious tankers? How would you enforce that?
