Thema: SWITCH FROM ESPN TO FANTRAX 31.08.18 14:17
As commissioner of a few fantasy leagues, we used ESPN for many years. however, this new upgrade is for shit, so I am in the process of switching my leagues to Fantrax. Easy to do really. This new upgrade on ESPN took away some very usable features as Brandon mentioned in his trade thread with Chris.
Can we consider moving over to Fantrax as well?

I having so much difficulty getting rosters corrected with players they added finally. The the activity page only shows the first page of moves Doesn’t allow commissioners to make adjustments whatsoever
I already have one of my leagues set up on Fantrax.

Funnily enough, we've been using Fantrax in my other league for two years and for the most part I really like it. However, it no longer functions on my decade-old desktop so I've been forced to do all my fantasy dealings on my laptop. Kind of a pain, but willing to switch if everyone else wants to.

It's really up to Greg. He has to do all the legwork. We would still keep Forum. It's part of our lives now for sure.

Hi kids. Just getting caught up here. I don't like the new ESPN either. Is the Fantrax free? I'm more than happy to set it all up. Might be nice to make a fresh start. I will look into it, and unless something alarming jumps out, I will get the ball rolling in the next couple few days. Stay tuned.

There is the standard site which is free. There is a premium option but I chose Standard and set up my Dynasty league, which is very similar to ours, on it in short time. If you need help, let me know. That's if you decide to move it over.

Seems like everytime i check anything from Fantrax on my phone Spam just keeps popping up and i cant close it.
Id hate to have to deal with that all year or be forced to use a computer to check anything.

I created a league to see the setup and everytime i add players or move around the league page on my phone I get redirected to spam pages that i cant get out of it.
Not sure if thats cause its one of them free leagues.
Maybe premium avoids the ads where free league you have to deal with them?

I think the premium cost is $100, but not sure.
As far as the phone spam, I haven't had a problem with Fantrax. However, I do have that problem with Hockeybuzz anf the Forum app It!

I think that if there is someone that isn't comfortable with it, we shouldn't switch.

Id pay extra $10 for premium if it meant better stuff
As far as phone stuff, could just be my phone. I have looked at a few sites I probably shouldnt have before

Anyone else have any feedback? I honestly don't think we can get any worse than ESPN.

I was on the site last year with a new league and didn't have an issue except for just getting used to where things are...but setting up one of the leagues I'm commissioner in wasn't that bad really.
Once the draft for the SDHL league is finished, I'm going to add the STHL league to Fantrax as well if all goes well.

I think with Premium they track traded draft picks but don't quote me on that
