Your point is that if it isn't your way then the game is bastardized and unplayable. I just don't see it as being unplayable but I understand your preference. I seriously doubt anything changes so the discussion probably isn't relevant. Nobody wants to lose your business. Regardless of any of this I'm hoping to do a few more leagues this year than last. Maybe they can move the deadlines back a couple of hours which would help everyone - especially those on the west coast. (I'm not even west coast) It's definitely a huge can of worms for the game operators.

That is not completely fair Wayne. I am also going to explain a lot of this misconception that my voice has some kind of power because I play a lot of leagues. There are many things that aren't my preferred way. There are actually very few things at the NFFC that are my preferred way(aside from the awesome live events). I don't prefer 6 points a TD Pass, I don't prefer KDS, I don't prefer 3RR, I don't prefer no drops of Thursday players on Friday, and I really don't like how early KDS has to be set in most leagues. I really don't like having to dig through message boards to find out when KDS is even due. However, none of those things bastardize the game and make it unplayable for me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can do what they choose with their time and money. I feel very strongly about never wanting to set a lineup without even knowing what my team is. I have never, and will never play that type of game. That doesn't make me right, and that doesn't make me wrong. I just simply would not play it.
You will never see me feed the operators a bunch of garbage. What I say I will do, I will do. They will never make a decision based on me, I can guarantee you that. If they did, I would be playing baseball with them again this year. They dropped the primetime baseball contest this year. It was the only game that compelled me to play baseball last year. They tried to replace it with 1500 online championship plus. I said on the boards that I didn't like it and wouldn't play it. I didn't. You had guys like Alan Greenberg(who disagrees with me just to disagree) claiming the online championship plus is the greatest idea ever and gave massive support for it on the message boards and laughably making me out to be the bad guy for not liking it. But when it came time to play it, how many of those same guys actually played? You can count on zero fingers how many teams Alan played. I would never do something like that to give Greg false impressions of what is going to work and what is not. Ultimately, these were not something very many people were interested in, even those that claimed it was so great. People like that can bitch at me for this and that if they want. I don't care, as my intentions are pure and that is all that I care about. I will never lie to them or give them false guidance. Another example is the baseball cutline. I told Greg I would probably do a bunch of those this year, since it was very minimal management. I pry would have done at least 20. When they were figuring it out, KJ came up with this odd scoring system designed to somehow mimic roto. The problem is you cannot mimic roto. I told Greg it was a bad scoring system, which I have heard turned out to be the case. I said if you go with any normal kind of points scoring I am in. You go with this odd KJ system, forget it. He went with that scoring system. Not surprisingly, KJ is dominating the game as he is gaming the system he designed. The point to all of this is that my voice doesn't matter very much, and so many people seem to think it does. If my voice mattered, there would be a ton of things done differently. It doesn't matter though. If they don't think it is important to know your team before setting your lineup, or not being able to bid that week on two teams players at all, and move to Friday, they will do it no matter what I think.
