ESPN has pulled their fantasy support down this morning to update

[UATahoe]

One step closer to getting their 2018 support up and running. Wish they would launch it before the NFL draft. Lol.

[Phaded]

It will be up before the draft.

This usually only takes a few days, maybe a week.

And it actually happened yesterday afternoon.

[UATahoe]

In the past has it opened to start new leagues prior to the NFL draft? Ths would be great. Kicking off a new startup and would love to hold the startup draft prior to the NFL draft. Make he rookie picks a little more challenging.

I have been commishing on espn for 7 years, and typically speaking yes it does.

Oh nice. somehow I managed to not even pull it up yesterday. Lol

Thanks for the intel!

This will be the first league I have commissioned. I started the league about a month ago. I am guessing after the update it saves all the prior info?

Would be great for ESPN to finally start doing positional scoring changes... TE premium would be an awesome addition.

Yeah it will save all of that info. Changes after maintenance are basically rookies added to the pool and ability to trade draft picks for the upcoming year.


Positional scoring would be nice, I am personally indifferent but I would be shocked if that happened. It has been years since ESPN changed or added features despite demand.

Can you create your own scoring formats? I know you can with Yahoo - ie make receptions worth .5, 1. 1.5 points per reception etc ...

[UATahoe]

Can definitely create your own scoring formats to an extent. The settings that could be customized was pretty expansive. Plus, to me, the ease of use and app are awesome.

[Phaded]

Yeah - you can also add big plays, big games and all that stuff. A lot of people get overboard with it, I prefer simple. But you can fully customize what those stats are worth.

But yeah, their app and gameday tracker are second to none.

How do you include draft picks in a trade? We always have to post to the league site.

[UATahoe]

There is an adoption within the settings that allows you to trade draft picks. It's within the draft settings page. I do remember it only being available when certain other options were selected. Can't remember exactly what though.

[ArrylT]

Kewl so it is feasibly possible to make a TE premium type league - either by bumping up TE ppr or making 2 TE starters. I figured as much since the league I am in with Phaded has 2 TE starters.

[UATahoe]

Yep. And I even think you could probably allow more points per yard as well for a boost. It was a whole lot of flexibility.
