In response to "i also hate, *hate*, that fantasy basketball has stats that reward inactivity." by TFox

I agree with this but I love fantasy basketball.

It's all about setting up the league properly to get rid of turnovers, limit moves per week and max games played.

Responses:

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
