The UFC isn't working. And it isn't just a minor bug or what. It's a complete failure. Did you hire a Bio Graduate to design your interface? Or is your programmer drunk? You can't add players, can't see the schedule, can't trade players, can't get players off the waivers, draft sucks.. list goes on. Basically you can't do anything! What the hell. YOU CUT 20% of your CREW and you lose NBA.COM/FANTASY (no one is ever gonna play there anymore). That's a MAJOR loss. Worth it? I don't think so. Your system sucks. After a promising year last year. What happened? This has got to be sad. Reputation damaged can never be fixed again. What the HELL ROTOHOG.

They still don't have the standings working, the roster is screwy (you lose points by switching players), the live scoreboard doesn't auto-update, drafts were majorly messed up, the list goes on. The list goes on and on, check out the nba.com fantasy forums to really see the problems. Rotohog destroyed NBA.com's UFC. Yeah, the NBA UFC is the biggest piece of garbage ever.

Nuff said... http://my.nba.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5700021539&start=0 Mr Loomer ,, I hate to inform you but it's still not working correctly. The draft applet came up for my 30 team league today Oct 25th , however there were several problems. 1. for the first round, the first 15 teams in the draft order came up twice to draft in that round taking all 30 spots. which in turn put the remaining 15 teams in round 2 doubled up. This was setup in the applet like this for every round. 2. it wouldn't draft any players whatsoever, even on autodraft. I reset the draft 4 times, problem 1 still existed and still no players drafted. Now I had to back out of that and get a new date which now pushes my scoring into week 2 of the season, if it works on Tuesday night @ 6pm est. Other problems still exist : 1. Pre Ranking players will only let you rank 20 players and no more 2. Setting the initial draft order will not let me set an order past 15 without major major issues. I AM TIRED OF THIS , THIS IS THE WORST SITE I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR FANTASY BASKETBALL. AND I THOUGHT YAHOO WAS BAD....... THIS IS THE WORST !!! And you want to be associated with this site ??

The NBA, for example, will run two RotoHog-powered games through the league website this season. Less attention, in turn, will be paid to the company’s site, which hosts its own games." Does this shift in focus imply that the operating cost to run stand-alone games out-weigh the pursuit of independence and building a brand?? Interesting. Last year a very reliable source gave me the impression that RotoHog was looking to break free from the NBA once their contract agreement was up, but now it seems like they are going the other way. What does this mean for the smaller brands with products? Should we focus on selling our technology as well? Just when I thought fantasy offerings would spread beyond the major media companies like ESPN, Yahoo, and NBA.com, it looks like we are headed the opposite way. “The change means the company will focus more on building games and selling its technology to fantasy providers.
