How can we make Fantasy Baseball better?

Playoffs - Odd number of teams and more Bye week options

This playoff format would allow for an odd number of teams in the playoffs and other options for Bye weeks in the first week of playoffs. Currently, this is not an option for playoff formats.

    What's the point of this topic or feedback at all... If Yahoo. continues to ignore the overwhelming response to the Message. Board Removal across all fantasy sports?

    I love how Yahoo ranks this topic.as the. #2 most popular or hot topic or whatever despite it only being an active thread less than 6 posts in 2023 (including mine) since last year!!!!

    Yahoo, you owe your users better.

    Just an FYI for any other Yahoo Fantasy Sports users.. Below is the primary link (I pasted I am posting a of somewhat similar version, but by no means identical nor off-topic.

    So, if hasn't been seen but other users, it is imperative for everyone, if it hasn't been realized and/or known about already).

    So as a courtesy to all fellow fantasy players, below are more thoughts
    regarding all user feedback.

    The link(s) were provided directly by Yahoo (more than a month ago) which, as of today, March 5th, Yahoo has listed as only the 3rd most popular feedback topic with well over a thousand comments... All, virtually without exception: unfavorable responses that dwarf every other topic by far and possibly combined! Message Board Removal link (just in case any fellow uses finds themselves stumbling upon the newest current thread started by a less aware user that likely also are just. recently realizing this before creating a separate post... So it's probably best to pass along the primary thread to your league mates and re-post or voice one's feedback and sentiments on the below thread going forward.

    So this topic or any other is of no consequence and not even remotely as important as Yahoo's message board removal decision (which there's still time to fix imo)

    Who cares about search filters when many leagues across all Yahoo Fantasy platforms actually might not even begin at all with the recent outcry and outrage over what is obviously a far more important topic to all fantasy users of Yahoo (who are already making a mass exit from. Yahoo for other sites and platforms)

    I'll post a message I wrote on another redundant and/or outdated topic thread here for people unaware of this, and might not realize that their fantasy leagues may be in serious jeopardy of even happening in 2023.

    Just an FYI for any other Yahoo Fantasy Sports users.. Below I'm including the primary link (I pasted elsewhere also as it's more and more appearing that Yahoo
    and its topic admins are avoiding the elephant in the topics of discussion and user replies

    So just in case, to make my informed observation known and understood....

    I'm re-posting my explanation for the benefit of all if it's stumbled upon here.

    Hopefully it helps other fantasy users to prioritize their concerns and raises awareness for all, if this knowledge hasn't been already considered).

    The following I have info to others regarding public feedback threads.

    The link I post below was provided directly by Yahoo (more than just a little over a month ago in 2023)) which, as of today, March 5th, Yahoo has listed as only the 3rd most popular feedback topic with well over a thousand comments...

    There should be an option to lock eliminated teams from playoffs. The current lock eliminated teams option does not lock teams that are not in the playoffs. Commissioners should have the option to lock teams from making transactions that is not in the playoffs.

  • .... .... commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo needs to create an option to turn off Consolation bracket. Yahoo has an option to lock eliminated teams. But that option is pointless. Teams that are not in the playoffs should not be allowed to make transactions.

  • Mike Pennington commented  ·   ·  Report

    Currently, the playoffs only run for a maximum of 3 weeks and is essentially "single elimation". Could there be an option for the playoffs to be extended a little bit and have a "double elimination"?

  • David commented  ·   ·  Report

    I find it kind of unfair for 2 teams on the championhip bracket not being able to play the last 1 to 2 weeks of the seaon where teams on the consolation bracket can or 4 out of the 6. I would propose expanding the Championship bracket to 8 teams. Have the bottom 4 teams play 2 consolation rounds but season for them ends after the next to last full week. So there for those 4 are the ones that don't play and get locked out.

  • Rami Mahfouz commented  ·   ·  Report

    We would like to have the option to have more than 8 teams make playoffs in our league. Bye weeks can be included to facilitate this, or start playoffs little earlier. Leagues could customize as necessary based on conference or league format they follow.

  • Bradley Reams commented  ·   ·  Report

    wake up!!!

    does anyone monitor these feedback ideas?

    5 dam years ago, still gathering feedback?!!

  • Matt Roberts commented  ·   ·  Report

    ESPN has had 2 week playoffs since the beginning. Yahoo can you please add this basic feature that has been inexplicably left out for over a decade?

  • Brian Zipper commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would like to have more options for playoffs, this year and in the future. I want to only have 2 division winners make playoffs, but do not have that option.

  • Dave Poleck commented  ·   ·  Report

    Shorter season option is a must. Why does our fantasy season have to come down to the time where players are shutdown or given more rest?

    Plus then we could wrap up baseball before NFL fantasy :)

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow playoff options to be customized based on division. It's infuriating that Yahoo defaults to 1-6 overall winning percentages instead of intra-divisional playoffs.

  • Trevor Czepiel commented  ·   ·  Report

    We need to be given the option of starting and ending the playoffs earler. With expanded rosters and teams clinching too many top players and esp pitchers are not playing at the most important time of the fantasy season

  • Scott Roland commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please allow the shorter regular season. Things get stupid the last few weeks, this would be a HUGE benefit to leagues.

    Please!!!

  • Tim Marks commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think simplest thing to do is allow Commissioners to set regular season weeks and playoff weeks themselves. No need to have any default limitations. Maybe some suggestions or a "do it yourself" optoin. We instituted a wild card round to include more teams in the playoffs, but that required us to have 10 playoff teams - which is not allowed either. More flexible playoff systems with more customization would be fantastic. Thanks for this suggestions.

    Please allow for a shorter regular Season! I would love for Fantasy Baseball Playoffs to be going on right now.

  • Robert Leslie commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is mostly for Fantasy basketball but please implement in all 4 of the major fantasy sports. Allow the commisioner to set the playoffs to be any week they choose. For example I would start my playoffs in Fantasy basketball to start in week 16 and the reason why is with all the player resting and teams tanking during the end of the season it makes the Fantasy playoffs a mess. So many players rest and teams tanking sit players that it is possible that a majority of your players are unavailable during the playoff weeks. This is a major issue. Please give the commisioners more control of when and what happens in their leagues.

  • Cody Jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    On ESPN fantasy baseball you can choose how many weeks you want to have the regular season last and how long the playoffs will last. This would give you the ability to end the Fantasy Baseball season before the first week in NFL Fantasy Football. Once football gets here no one in the personal leagues I've been in wants to check baseball team once the NFL kicks off week 1. Which is around Sept 14-16 but as of now you can only end the baseball season like 1 week early which is like sept 23.

  • Mike Ruggeri commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add the two-week championship option. This feedback item was added a year and half ago. Is Yahoo even reviewing their users suggestions or just choosing to ignore them?!? These are simple asks that should not be hard to implement and would improve the user experience significantly.
