While it gives good stats, the overall layout of the site is incredibly confused. Also, the default settings for league play are a bit underwhelming.

I stopped checking my CBS team about 1/3 of the way through the season. Still wound up 5th out of 12, another minus for CBS. There’s just no way that should happen when facing decent fantasy competitors.

That said, once I did get in, yes it was slow. Not as painfully slow as Anonymous made it seem, but it definitely had some lag issues.

And one other note: If you select someone in your Queue, you have to use the Queue Draft button to draft that player. The draft button next to their picture won’t work.

I have not had the opportunity to try NBA.com’s draft application – we did an offline draft in the league I’m in – so I can’t comment directly on your experiences. I have noticed the NBA.com runs fairly slowly when moving from page to page, although its not a 30 second wait kind of slow.

Has anyone else live drafted on NBA.com? How was the experience?

its EXTREMELY SLOW. so slow that when its your time to pick, your mouse click doesnt register until 30 seconds later, and so your pick has already passed and it picks RANDOMLY. Like Spencer Hawes random. So i have to queue players in the queue just to draft who i want. But then when you click a player to queue, it takes like 30 seconds for it to register that you clicked the player. by then youve already clicked on the queue button but all youve done is highlight a player. then when re-ranking the queue, it will say “player undefined” when moving player up or down.

anyway, i could write even more about how it crashed my browser, and after 30 minutes, i would have to restart the browser….by the 4th round people were asking to move it to yahoo even though theres no keeper option. we were willing to do it manually, or though an online chat or something. anything but this.

when people go to hell, they have to draft 30 team leagues on nba.com forever. it’s that bad.

As far as the site ratings in the poll, I was surprised to see how high ESPN ranked. I’ve been nothing but frustrated with it, but it looks like ESPN has its fan base.

More pleasing looking link.

I kept meaning to post that and kept forgetting about it. Thanks for doing the survey!
