Stop being so greedy
Charging money to load a roster for the week... That is honestly pathetic. Our league will change to a different provider next year if this isn't dropped. What a terrible idea. Greed.

Don't Paywall Fantasy Features that Were Previously Free
My friends and I have used your fantasy service for years now and we are extremely disappointed with your decision to paywall a previously free feature of fantasy hockey with setting a weekly line up. Every year, it becomes more difficult to recruit a full group of competitive fantasy hockey players due to the time and dedication it takes to manage a roster. Your decision to paywall this further creates unnecessary friction that will 1) require more time to set a weekly roster and 2) hinder any chance of advertising our league to other friends that might want to try…

Bring back multi-day roster sets
Removing it after decades of having it was kind of a **** move, yahoo.

Please bring back "Start Active Players for the rest of the week"
This is a hugely irritating feature that was added to Fantasy Hockey, and I really don't see a reason for it beyond wanting more money.
I even went to sign up for Fantasy Plus, but you don't offer it to Canadians! Seriously, what the *? Who are the majority of your hockey fans and players other than Canadians? We can't join prize leagues, and now we can't even pay you while you actively make the system worse? Go * yourselves!
If this doesn't change by the end of the season, I'm permantly changing platforms. I've been a player on…

Remove paywall to set weekly lineups
Whose idea was this? Both of my fantasy leagues are all in 100% agreement that we will be leaving Yahoo fantasy. Putting simply setting weekly lineups behind a paywall is so ridiculously insulting that I don't even think reversing this change will be enough to keep us. Purely idiotic.

You've probably been told this 25,000 times in the last week BUT
CHANGE THE SET YOUR LINEUP FEATURE BACK. Unbelievably SCUMMY to do it after the season starts too. I can promise you, everyone I know is going is talking about leaving Yahoo starting next season this has ****** them off so much. This paywall to set your lineup for the week is already RUINING some of my leagues because some people are too busy to set their lineups every single ******* day. I am so sick of corporate greed. ******* change it back or we're gone.

Bring back weekly lineup setting, please.
I get that you have to make money, but this decision is soul-crushing for casual players. It is literally the feature I use to sell them on joining the league. They are not going to pay for it, but they will complain to me, and I imagine I'll have a number of abandoned teams come mid-season. It is a bad business decision - fewer players logging in means fewer people seeing your ads or being tempted to try all of your gambling options. I mean, I imagine you guys crunched the numbers, but I think this is a poor decision…

Paywall
Putting a paywall on the "start your players for the week" button AFTER the draft happened is unacceptable. And even if we were willing to pay, we can't, because we're in Canada. If this paywall isn't removed, I am using another platform next year.

Bring back (free) weekly roster setting
I understand that Yahoo is looking for new ways to entice users to subscribe to Fantasy Plus, but the operative word here is "entice." There should be incentives on top of basic functionality that make the subscription appealing, and taking away a core function of the platform -- setting weekly lineups -- is going to drive people away far more than it's going to drive new subscribers.
Setting weekly lineups is not, and should not, be a bonus feature. This is how most users set their lineups, especially when juggling multiple leagues and especially when they know they won't have…

Stop not allowing us to auto pick our lineup for the week.
Removing the availability to set our lineup for the week is ****. Then making us pay a fee to allow us to do it kills the fun that we were having in winning something if we finish top three. I will not be a part of this come next year if this continues.

Whoever idea is was to add paywall to making setting weekly lineups a paid feature should be fired.

Remove subscription to set lineup in advance
Recently yahoo made it so that if i want to set my lineup more than a day ahead it would require a subscription. We had this feature to set the lineup for a whole week prior to this recent change and it was an awesome feature.
This change will not get money out of me and just makes me upset that yahoo is taking this stance to earn a few bucks. If it is not changed back by end of season, as commissioner I will be taking the league to a different site.
I hope you consider changing it back.

Why is my weekly start a paid feature?
Your now charging for starting the right players for the rest of the week... previously this was a free feature which made this fantasy site actually usable.
Now many users will have poor line ups on days with early games, wrecking the sportsmanship of the site and making the fantasy leagues way more effort then many guys want to put in for effort in a week.
I would change this back immediately... this is a basic feature not an advanced one, I mean the free algorithm would bench connor mcdavid on weekends, that's functionally clearly a free feature

Start Active Players
I'm the commissioner of a fantasy hockey league and we use Yahoo. A heads up that it's been taken poorly by the entire league that two weeks into the season Yahoo requires a subscription to easily start active players. It's a full bait and switch. If this was known ahead of time I would've moved our league to another website. I fully plan on moving the league after the season, which is too bad to lose league history because you guys betrayed our trust.
Change it back.

Allow to add roster positions after draft
This happens so often that commissioners forget to add a flex position or something they discussed but forget. How can we not add at minimum a flex position in first 1-2 weeks following the draft. Makes no sense.

Bring back setting lineup for the week..
We thought it was a glitch that you could only set for the day now, and not for remainder of current week. Turns out it was actually changed.. Most people I've talked to are ready to leave yahoo for fantasy sports now and this is a big reason..

Start Active Players paywalled now?!
Your decision to paywall starting active players for the week is absurd. We've been using Yahoo for Fantasy Hockey for over 7 years. The fact you would start the first couple weeks and have it FREE and then instituted the paywall is absurd. My family of SIX will NOT be paying for Y+ and if you don't reverse this decision this will be the last year we use your platform if not quit before the season is even over. I certainly understand the desire to promote and provide a paid service as an add on for people but to change…

Restore my ability to set my lineup for the entire week with one click
You have taken away my ability to set my lineup for the entire week with one click. I have four teams. That's 28 roster days. I'm NOT doing that manually, one day at a time, four teams one at a time. Deal breaker. I quit. You now have four inactive teams, which will make the game less fun for everyone else in my leagues that cares enough to slog through this horrible decision, which will mean a nice, large migration to ESPN next year. Put it back the way it was! I'm not playing fantasy football, baseball or basketball on…
