Dynasty/Keepers - Leave league open to allow trading, adds, and drops during the offseason.
This would allow managers to make all league transactions within the platform, including adds, drops, and trades, throughout the year.

Kelly, all settings, including the settings that can be changed during the season, are locked after the last game. Yahoo! does not currently support year round access for their fantasy sports.

The Stat and Score Settings are disabled after the league starts, not after the last game. The Stat and Score Settings should be the only item disabled until the leagues are renewed. The commissioner should at least prep the league for next season and allow off-season trading.

Yahoo! does not support fantasy sports year round. For football, the league settings lock after the last game is played and can be changed when the league is renewed next year. One reason this is done is to prevent league scoring settings from being changed affecting the outcome of the previous season. It also doesn't pay for Yahoo! to support a fantasy sport during that sport's dead months.

Here is the issue:
Once football season ends, the activity on the boards and chatrooms ramps down and the number of clicks on the fantasy football links goes way down. Since advertisers are looking to get as many views as possible, an area getting no visits is not going to get the ad dollars to support it.
So for free, it doesn't make business sense to keep the game open year round because it will cost them to support it without any offsetting ad dollars.
For a fee, then it may make more sense. If a league is willing to pay an annual fee for year round support, then maybe that business model would make sense to Yahoo!

yup. Yahoo doesn't support this while every other decent fantasy site on the planet does. Goes to show you how much Yahoo sucks and how much they don't care what their loyal users want. Theres another thread on this topic you should read and participate in. It is the second highest ranked request on Yahoo fantasy sports right now and has been going on for almost a year. Unfortunately the dolts at Yahoo have totally ignored it. They are just too lazy to change anything no matter how many people plead for the change. Yahoo fantasy sports are run by absolute idiots. here is the link: https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/206158-fantasy-football/suggestions/6063048-dynasty-keeper-trades-and-editing-rosters-always-n

Yahoo! does not support year round activity for fantasy sports. What the commish can do is keep track of the trade during the off season, then after renewing the league next season, process the trade using commish tools.

Hey Yahoo.... wake the F--- UP!!! Season is over and we still can't make off season trades (for keeper leagues). Why? Don't you READ these forums and listen to what we are begging you to do?
Or, as I expect, do you simply not care? Watch with amazement as more loyal Yahoo users run to other more user-friendly and Keeper league-friendly hosts.
You guys stink. You had 9 months since this request started and you did nothing. You fail. I hope everyone sells their Yahoo stock because if the rest of the company is as customer-unfriendly as the Yahoo fantasy sites are, then Yahoo will be going down like the Titanic.
Again, Yahoo fantasy football managers suck. No response to any legitimate requests = we are starting to hate you.

Actually, you can still do the trades, the commish just has to keep track of it during the off season and update the info when renewing the league the next season.

I see Yahoo added the ability to auto-renew, I'd suggest upon selecting this feature, that the ability to make offseason moves thru Yahoo be enabled. This would also help, in that I wouldn't have to manually create our draft order and send it out, it would display thru Yahoo.

so? Are we going to have access 365 days/year? Will trade proposals and completed trades be allowed finally? This request has been posted here for the last 12 months and no response from the idiots at Yahoo? Why?

I run three keeper laegues and constantly have to update spreadsheets and send countless emails for all our off season trades. What a royal pain in the butt... all because Yahoo is too stupid to keep the leagues accessible all year long. Not onlyu should the leagues be accessible, but trade proposals need to be allowed during this time. Last off season it said "you can't make any trades because the season was over". How freaking stupid can Yahoo be?

WTF? This request was made almost a year ago and now there are 90 comments supporting it. Yet Yahoo has done NOTHING to make any changes. How DISRESPECTFUL can Yahoo be to its users by failing to even provide the courtesy of a response?
This confirms that Yahoo fantasy football is being managed by a small group of arrogant azzholes who have no regard for the users. What an awful company Yahoo has become.

I agree. This is the way leagues are suppose to be. Make the keeper leagues year round.

Yes, Yahoo, please make leagues available year around for dynasty leagues. off-season trading would keep your advertising engine running constantly.
This is a great idea!

I would recommend that off-season trading can only be conducted between the teams of record and that no players can be retrieved from the waivers.
