    Sorry, bro. That is just how NBA schedule works. On some ocassions it will benefit you and in some other it will not. In order to deal with this, I avoid having two or more players from the same team in my roster. It really hurts when that team plays only two games during the week.

    Yea this has been my biggest concern with Yahoo H2H fantasy leagues. We had a league meeting on this 2 weeks ago and decided to stick with ESPN because of the lack of weekly games played limits on Yahoo.

    Everything else on Yahoo is superior to ESPN Fantasy sports but we just cant make the switch without weekly game limts

    Agreed

    i dont understand how yahoo hasnt put this option in after 7 plus years!

    How have you guys not fixed this yet?? One of the most important features to prevent uneven weeks.

    HOW yahoo....how?????

    Fix this

  • Peter Toub commented  ·   ·  Report

    espn allows you to do 30,32,34,36,40 etc

    yahoo only allows 32? this is silly.

    When a team plays 40 games and another team plays 35 , its pretty **** hard for the team playing 35 games to win.

    This feature will make things most fair.

    How has this not been implemented in the last 6 or so years?

    Common yahooo

    Ok there are comments here from 2015 asking for this feature, that I was quite oblivious to.

    If you guys need a guinea pig league to feature flag and test you need to hit me up. Lets bring this to your current and NEW user base. :)

    Wow, Adam Kroon is a genius. If yahoo follows through with this I’d be willing to move multiple fantasy leagues to the platform.

  • Jordan Taylor commented  ·   ·  Report

    My league would totally switch over if this was implemented on Yahoo, more customization means more fun!

    Hey,

    My legacy h2h fantasy basketball league is currently using ESPN as its platform.

    ESPN currently implements a weekly games played cap for each team, which we set to 35. For example:

    - my team has 34 games played on Saturday night, and 9 players playing the following day
    - my team accumulates all stats generated by players for a total of 43 games by the end of Sunday night

    We feel that this feature adds a layer of strategy to our league, making GMs have to decide which games they want to choose instead of just having ALL games available to them.

    We're currently trying to move away from ESPN, because their product is quite inferior compared to other products including yahoo, however GMs in our league feel that this one issue is a sticking point for the transition.

    I'd love to get a chance to talk to someone about this feature if possible. We've already found your customer service to be exceptional compared to ESPN!

    Thanks!

    I would not expect this to be changed.

    The main reason is because there are days during the week when there are near full schedules, meaning all 13 of your players have games but you can only start 10. Your opponent, on the other hand, has only 9 players with games.

    This does not give you a 4 game advantage for this specific date. It give you a 1 player advantage.

    Another reason is players being sat in either the 1st or 2nd game of back-to-back sets, especially the older players and players dealing with nagging injuries. Just using the team's schedule to count possible games does not factor in situations like this where it is known the player won't play in every game.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The NBA schedule is variable with some teams playing way more games. If each team gets 25 or so starting players a week than the matchup is fair. Otherwise one team can have 40 players going while another has 30. Reason football is fair is because everyone has same number of players that week.

    Definitely! it's my 5th season with yahoo fantasy, but its time to consider moving to ESPN

  • Michał Babiarz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Great idea. Could make fantasy bball more competitive and skill based. Commisioner should've oportunity to set weekly games limit

  • Orn Gorn commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stupidity. What will you want to do about the team owners who complain about having a bad draft and want owners with good players to have a maximum for the studs like James Harden? Just like Yahoo and it's idiotic limited weekly player adds, you want to eliminate another strategy. There IS a lot of luck in fantasy, so why to you want to eliminate what little elements based on skill there is?

  • Omar Ali commented  ·   ·  Report

    Excellent idea! Please add this feature! This makes the match-ups much more FAIR.

  • nate oester commented  ·   ·  Report

  • Tai Tran commented  ·   ·  Report
