And at least that has a core of 5 key stats to track before you get to the percentage stats -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 26, 12:15 20
- i also hate, *hate*, that fantasy basketball has stats that reward inactivity. - TFox Sep 26, 12:17 19
  - I agree with this but I love fantasy basketball. - Krusty Sep 26, 12:24 16
    - I disagree with the turnovers. Who cares if a manager wins that *one* stat by being inactive? He gets buried in the others. - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:31 1
      - I don't hate using them but I prefer to not use negative categories. -- nm - Krusty Sep 26, 12:38
    - i've yet to see a correctly set up league in that regard, but if you ever have one, let me know! -- nm - TFox Sep 26, 12:25 13
      - If we ever have basketball I'll be sure and do that. Stupid lockout. - Krusty Sep 26, 12:30 12
        
        college would be better, truthfully. the games are played on a far more predictable schedule. -- nm - TFox Sep 26, 12:33 11
        
        Why do you need predictable? Your roster page tells you what you need. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:36 8
        
        any of the games that mandate daily roster checks for success are totally obnoxious. - TFox Sep 26, 12:43 7
        
        I disagree. Baseball requires more checking than basketball due to pitching. - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:51 2
        
        it really doesn't. -- nm - TFox Sep 26, 12:51 1
        
        So, how do you know when someone is going to pitch? And even if you do, they make changes, anyway. - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:53
        
        This is why I hate instant FA pickups in football. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:47 3
        
        Strongly disagree. I have 1 football league with waivers that I am probably not playing next year. - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:52
        
        agreed*. - TFox Sep 26, 12:50 1
        
        The best way to go is a bidding system with transactions processed on Friday, but this is too complicated to implement for BF. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:54
        
        I don't think there's any college fantasy games other than pick 'em. - Krusty Sep 26, 12:36 1
        
        ESPN does some College Football salary cap-style contests. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:37
  - Doesn't baseball do this too? I've been in some H2H leagues with Errors, Losses, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:23 1
    - well yes, if you're in shitty mismanaged leagues that think they're smart. - TFox Sep 26, 12:24
And the only way roto baseball is functional is with Innings limits or Total Starts caps. - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:15 1
- inning limits in roto are pretty much standard now and very easy to manage to. -- nm - TFox Sep 26, 12:20
Wow. - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:15 4
- the amount of work needed to successfully manage fantasy basketball makes fantasy baseball seem like fantasy football. -- nm - TFox Sep 26, 12:16 3
  - Hmmm. It does require a couple daily minutes but I have won a few leagues. - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:18 2
    - I have won a baskeball league, and I do not even like the sport. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 12:25 1
      - About like me in baseball. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 26, 12:35
