Major Updates for Fantasy Baseball

The new season of fantasy baseball is here and there has been a huge influx of new users and plenty of bugs to squash these past two weeks.  I have been feverishly working to improve multiple aspects of the site to handle the additional users and additional features.

Many of you have emailed me to provide feedback about bugs and features that you would like improved.  I am reading ALL of it and have been implementing many of your suggestions.

What you see below is just a small list of improvements that have been completed since the start of April:

  • Start/Sit tool, various accuracy fixes for scheduled matchups.
  • Start/Sit tool, user can now specify the start of his fantasy week: Sun-Mon or Sun-Sat.
  • Accuracy fix for player stats to compare this years stats to last years stats. Previously the average and on base percentages were slightly off.
  • Fantasy Assistant & Trade Analyzer, refreshed design for the player popup windows. It is now cleaner, brighter, and easier to read with red buttons for navigation.
  • Fantasy Assistant, there have been numerous improvements to ratings and analysis for players.  Waiver wire suggestions have undergone many updates to further increase their accuracy.  Most notable have been category based waiver wire suggestions.  If you were unimpressed before, then I highly suggest taking another look at the revised suggestions.
  • CBS App Updates & League Updates, There have been a LOT of new users who bought CBS apps and synced new fantasy leagues to the FantasySP website.  I spent the past week refining the update process in order to handle the additional workload.  The update process is finally up to speed and everyone’s leagues should be updating on time and consistently from this point on. Sorry!
  • Various behind the scenes optimizations have been done so things load faster.  Things like the fantasy assistant and Start/Sit tools load a lot faster.
  • Progress has been made with trade suggestions, but it is still not ready for prime time.  Stay tuned for the official release later this month.
