CBS Sports Fantasy Hack 6.19.2 + Redeem Codes

I went from being last in my league (and I am the commissioner) to first consistently. I listen to several other ff podcasts and these guys are the best IMO. They are the only ones who do impromptu podcasts when there is breaking g news which is super helpful. I have shopped them al and these guys are my go to. I have lead my league for the last 3 years since subscribing. Highly recommend!!

Dear, Philip, Drew, Stan & Dan (from America’s finest city),
Question: I am 1st in my league and have locked up the #1 seed (thanks to you guys...was projected to come in last but I showed them). I am in a 10 teal PPR league and have saved my #1 waiver priority all season. I have D Adams and Diggs as my WR but my bench for WR is just OK (Aiyuk & Pittman). I am OK at RB but not great (Robinson, Hunt, Montgomery & Carson). Should I blow my #1 priority to pick up Deebo (or someone else? defense?) or should I just hang in in case of an injury and pounce? I also lost Dak so I am riding with Tannehill. What should I prioritize going into the playoffs? Please help!!

It’s better than nothing, but it’s still a steaming pile of dog feces. The interface is just not good. When a player gets put on the IL and you add a player, you don’t really know for sure if you’re dropping the injured player or putting him on IL until submit the transaction because the interface is so confusing. You have to flip to a separate tab to view your pitchers for some reason. I don’t know why they can’t just put them under the batters like espn does. There are also only the league stats categories available. If you want to know how many times your players have walked, you have to click on each individual player.

But the biggest issue is the waiver wire. You can’t search for players based on stats categories, which is really the only way to actually find players. They have limited time periods to search (last 7 days, last 14 days, last 21 days, last 28 days). And there is no way to qualify players based on how much they play. If you’re looking for a guy who has a good era, you have to sift through 50 relievers before you can find a starter, and you can only find a starter based on your own pre existing knowledge or guessing by how many inning and strikeouts he has. It’s practically impossible to use the app to pick up pitchers.

It seems like they desperately want you to just follow their projections, even though most of the “experts” projecting aren’t very good at it.

This app is so horrible I had to somehow figure out how to get the full site so I could get accurate scores/updates. The app would consistently give me illegal lineup messages when it was never illegal. Take points away when I set my lineup for the next day, the analysis of players always have statistic and grammar mistakes like they have a intern running it. Been using cbs for 14 years and it was so much better then, than it is now. The app will give you very little info, won’t even show you what that player has gotten on a weekly basis without you having to navigate and click 200 different links to search it when you immediately get it at the full site. I don’t see why it’s so complicated to have the same or roughly the same user interface than what you would get with the full site. It’s completely night and day if you were to compare the two. On top of that their mobile site is so difficult to find the full site (cause it’s trash too) it takes a blood sacrifice and my first borns social security number in order to find it. They have never heard the saying “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” because they constantly want to tinker with things and I can’t think of one thing they’ve done to better their service in 5-10 years. Whoever you have in charge of all this obviously has no idea what they’re doing. Just like I wouldn’t want a fry cook doing my open heart surgery.

CBS wants to charge $150 for you to use their fantasy football app. I have used all of the other FREE systems, which are all better by the way. They do offer a free fantasy league for 8-10 team, standard, snake draft systems, which is what I set up. Unknowingly, I was in the pay for league. I invited the teams, set up the draft etc. then after the draft I see “step 4, pay for your league” $150. Anybody who’s run a fantasy league knows what a pain it can be to organize a league and set it up. I knew at that point I just wasted a lot of everybody’s time. I did inquire the “help center” hoping it just default to s free league. After the first week of the season, it locked up the app for all the teams handcuffing us for the $150 which I refuse to pay. After 3 inquiries to the help center and no response, I am going to move us back to NFL fantasy. CBS is trying to be like typical modern business. Trick you into paying for something they claim is superior and not provide any support for it. Forcing you to ask for help through email systems they never intend to respond to. I expect more from a name like CBS. On top of it, the app sucked. I thought it was clumsy to navigate, there is absolutely nothing special about it. Run like hell and use ANY of the other good apps that are FREE! Don’t waste your time like I did. What a joke.

The app has some cool features, but ultimately it’s a chore to use. Navigating from one screen to another results in an hour glass as the page loads. You have to change your players position when moving them from the flex spot back to the bench. That is, manually change the players position from flex back to TE/WR/RB. If you don’t change it back, you won’t generate points, which seems pointless. Simple things like viewing current week stats are not possible. The player stats date filter needs to be expanded to include more options other than last week, projected this week and YTD. If I want to know who the highest scoring players were of the week, I have to wait until next week. It is helpful to view/edit your roster for future weeks in other apps, you can’t do that with this app, making byes more difficult to plan for. Lastly, you’d think the writers would be more prescriptive but the player notes (which are almost never updated until Tuesday) are really not very helpful. They mostly just cover the stats the player made and show the next week’s opponent. No recommendations or analysis. I’m in a dynasty league through marriage so I’m learning to deal. But don’t come to this app expecting to be similar to yahoo.

I joined an 8 team superflex league that has been going for 25+ years. I know the CBS FFT podcast bashes 8 team leagues, which is fine, but there are leagues out there that are 8 team. What blows my mind is in my ESPN leagues, we don’t pay any money yet we can do 8 team mock drafts whenever we want. Here in CBS, even with us paying a year fee to allow for 1RB, extra flex spots, etc., we cannot do 8 team mock drafts. I can try and do it on Fantasy Pros draft simulator but it’s not the same. I won the league the first year, couldn’t figure out the mock draft thought it was because I was new to the platform. Last year I used FP Draft Simulafor and when it came time to draft for CBS it felt unfamiliar and I did not enjoy it at all. These gentlemen are somewhat set it theirs ways, but I’ve thought about bringing it to vote to leave CBS and go to ESPN just because I’m not going to mock draft ten team leagues when we’re an 8 team league. CBS FFT bashes 8 team and talks smack about it, again that’s fine but CBS allows us to pay money to be an 8 team league, why are we not able to complete 8 team mock drafts. Very frustrating and disappointing. Please CBS, fix this issue and stop making your 8 team leagues your step children.

I like CBS fantasy football a lot, but I am looking to make a change toA league where there are one or two injured reserve slots. It was very frustrating to draft and trade to get an excellent team, only to have to drop good players in an attempt to get otherPlayers to make the playoffs. For example I had to drop Damien Harris because he was hurt for several weeks, only to have him get 38 points against me in the first playoff game when he was picked up by someone else. Would much rather have been able to put him on injured reserve without losing a spot. Had to drop Fournette as well, and also hold on to Elijah Mitchell while hurt for several weeks because I had no injured reserve spot. Especially with impact of Covid, anInjured reserve spot or two would really help!

If your league uses traditional roto scoring, this app is frustrating and irritating to use. The “Scores” screen shows the standings for the current period. In a roto league, this information is meaningless because weekly results are not relevant in the final results. It is the same with what is posted in the notification center. What is shown is not an accurate account of the actual league standings. Most of the owners in my league manage our teams on our phones and unless there is an update to make it more friendly for leagues that play by traditional rules, we will move to another service next season. This service and this app has been the gold standard of fantasy baseball for leagues for a long time. It is frustrating but also sad that it no longer is. Update 5/4/21. I’ve reached out to CBS Sports customer support and received the typical “we’re aware of the issue” response. Issue not fixed and my well deserve one star rating remains.

The only thing reliable about this app is how absolutely terrible it is. Compared to yahoo and ESPN it is a dinosaur. For example, the last version (even when updated) will constantly show lineup status on the wrong day, meaning you don’t exactly which day you’re setting your lineup for unless you navigate the day to the past and then reload it to the present day to clear the incorrect data.

The lineup page shows no stats unlike yahoo or ESPN. Same goes with roster trends or probable pitchers under “research.” With yahoo I can see how my players performed for the last period, 14 days, etc.; see add/drop trends. No dice with this app.

The probable pitchers data is almost always wrong. It will continually list injured, demoted, or simply pitchers who have been relegated to the bullpen in starting slots and you have to constantly check the MLB app to make sure the lineups are correct.

We’ve had a dynasty league for 16 years on CBS. The web browser API is far far superior but none of those features translate into an app. But we’re at the point where we’re ready to take our business elsewhere because in 2021 you need a functioning mobile app.

Believe every 1 star review you’ve read. The fact that CBS doesn’t care about this product is a joke when they were once a leader in the market. This is undoubtedly the worst, and until they care to update the API, they don’t deserve your money (or loyalty).

Where do I start? The CBS sports fantasy app is very frustrating for leagues that aren’t cookie-cutter. The worst thing is that you can not pick up a free agent and move a player to the IL or Minors. Instead, it can only be done with a computer or, most often, your phone’s browser. Another thing is that the trade screen is not helpful in that you can only view own/ start % and salary- cool story bro, might be better if you could view stats and rankings to compare players. Also, my league utilizes OPS instead of AVG or OBP. OPS is not listed on a player page, free agent list or anything except the live scoring tracker. The only way to view it is on the player page- view stats and you add up OBP + SLG to get an idea. Less than ideal huh? Displaying your league’s stats shouldn’t be a lot to ask. It would also be helpful to know how many Innings Pitched you’re on pace for as many owners become mindful of the league’s IP minimum. I generally like the layout and format of the app, but the negatives are enough that we’re considering alternatives for 2020.
