FANTASY PLAYER UPDATES
WHY WHY WHY ARE PLAYER UPDATES NOT POSTED???
Hi Edward,
Player updates are provided by our data provider. Yahoo does not control when an update may become available for a player.
Thanks,

desktop StatTracker should show the season HR total for a player, after hitting a HR...NOT HR DISTANCE
desktop StatTracker should show the season HR total for a player, after hitting a HR ...instead it shows the distance of the HR, which is always different from the actual MLB Statcast distance. the HR total is much more useful. thanks

Players
Teams that haven’t moved their players that are on the DL list and ain’t playing any games should have their players taken away from them and put back in the draft

Please give the commish ability to change lineups after games have started. I am in a league where many people work full time jobs so they can't update lineups knowing some players are hurt or not starting that day... This gives them the ability to contact the commish before games start to be able to inform him/her to edit their lineup. Sometimes the commish is busy so won't see it right away but can go back and edit. Our league has agreed to this but you guys don't have the option like you do in fantasy football. I don't get…

Be able to draft player any time if they are not playing or for the next day. It is after midnight and I still can't change players. Need to adapt ESP RULES.
Hey Lee,
If you are in a league that uses a daily - today deadline, you won't be able to swap a player or drop them if they are in your starting lineup until they have unlocked for the next day. That will take place at 12 AM PT/3 AM ET.

stat tracker
What's with the Stat Tracker tonight? It's very difficult to read. It looks horrible. All white with thin black text. I hope this is a temporary glitch and not an intentional change.
Hello John,
There was a temporary issue that impacted the StatTracker, but this should be resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience!

Bring back "start active player" button
This is the number one reason my league had grown/exists. Over 50% of my players started or play because they were told the commitment was low just a draft and a once weekly log in to the yahoo app to press that button and they would play. That is no longer the case and my league will stop growing and leave to find a better more beginner friendly app.
Hey Zachary,
The issue with managers not being able to use the Start Active Players button will be corrected in a future update to the app. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may be causing!

Don't pick my 'favorites'
In the list of upcoming games, all of a sudden you have chosen my 'favorite' real-life teams to show first. Why do you think they are my favorite teams? And why is that better than showing the upcoming games... in order. This is FANTASY. I don't care about favorites!

Put the # of adds remaining for opposing teams on your website
Why does you app show you how many of the weekly transactions an opposing team has left but not your website? Websites should always have more information than apps do. It doesn't make any sense
Thank you for your feedback regarding putting the number of adds remaining for opposing teams on the website. We will pass it along to our team!

Please add a column for "Opposing Pitcher" when on the team roster page.
Please add a column for "Opposing Pitchers" on the team roster page so we can see who our batters are facing for that day's game. You already have an "Opponents" column. Please add the "Opposing Pitcher" column right next to it and allow us to click on the pitcher's name so we can view his stats to help determine if we should start/sit. Many fantasy platforms have this available to the team owners. It is a necessary part of deciding who should start and helps without having to venture off the page to see who a player will face at…

Bring back the NOTES in My Team
Another very practical thing we used to have that is now gone. Used to be where the Legends and Glossaries box is now in My Team... Was very useful for jotting down stats and L/R matchups for players. Please bring it back.

Scummy UI to trick people into joining public leagues
I don't know why yahoo would want to trick people into accidentally joining leagues by placing links to join public leagues that users will easily click on by mistake.
Lots of people with the same experience https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/1s4qgxr/randomly_got_added_to_a_league/
As a fan of fantasy baseball that wants to see the game grow, this creates a bad experience for everyone. For people who want to play public leagues they will play in a dead league. For people who accidentally click into it, we have to see a team we don't care about and can't delete.
Just terribly short sighted product design to artificially…

Let someone delete a team
Why can’t you delete a team. I got entered into a league I never signed up for. How is that possible and how come I can’t delete it? This this is ******!

Stop creating teams for me! How do I delete?
How can I remove myself from a league that I did not want to join?
I keep getting added to new leagues accidentally - it happened with a basketball team, and now Yahoo added me to a THIRD baseball league -- that gets in the way of the two leagues I want to actively play. And it ruins the legitimacy of your rankings and tier ratings of fantasy managers. My primary reason to STAY with Yahoo fantasy is becaus of that rich data and history of 20 years and multiple leagues.
Stop automatically signing people up for a league --…
The league that you signed up for is referred to as an "Instant Draft." This means that you're automatically placed in a Public league once you enter the draft lobby. Once the draft is over, it's not possible for you or Yahoo to remove or transfer your team from the league.
I apologize that we can't be of more assistance, but do know that you're not obligated to visit the team pages for the entirety of the season. In the Yahoo Fantasy app, you can either hide your league from the home screen or customize league notifications using the steps below:
Hide your teams:
- Tap the Profile icon at the top left.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Customize menu.
- Tap Hide next to any league you want to remove from the home screen.
Customize notifications:
- Tap the Profile icon at the top left.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Push Notification Settings…

Fix your ads
Your ads are extraordinarily annoying. I know you need to make money but they are enough to start using another site for all my leagues. Please just make them less annoying.

Stop making it so easy to accidentally sign up for public leagues
The way you all prey on your users to get them to sign up for public leagues is incredibly shady, and while your managers may like the sign ups going up, the team should really be embarrassed about operating this way. I know this won't change given it's been going on for multiple years now but it's pretty gross.

If I would have known your limiting pitching to 20 innings I would have drafted only RP
I would not limit the number of innings pitched, let players use their mind to get maximum score.

The "Blue" Notepad suggesting a New Player Update
Whenever a player has new update, it turns Blue to signal to the User there is a new update. Once the User reads the new update, it should change colors back to the original, to signify that you've read it already. Almost like your email. It's been read already, no need to still be Blue.
