ESPN Continues Incompetence By Eliminating Fantasy Football Offline Draft App


[2019 UPDATE: A Fantasy Consigliere subscription now gives admission to Excel spreadsheets (and many more features including top-five draft rankings from last flavour) to help you run your draft seamlessly offline.]

The declining interest in ESPN is real. Some might deny information technology, but if you talk to everyday people, many accept stopped watching the network entirely. Despite this, ESPN remains the near popular site when it comes to hosting fantasy football game leagues.

However, at that place have been some major bug during the years with ESPN'south fantasy football hosting. The entire box scores have crashed for large stretches. There was not a schedule randomization pick for years (though schedules can at present exist randomized with a trick: bank check and uncheck the "Randomize Schedule" selection, and it unremarkably works). And the add-on of ads on the FantasyCast has enraged users.

This year, some other large consequence has all of a sudden popped up for many of those hosting their fantasy football leagues on ESPN.

The popular Offline Typhoon App has been discontinued.

For those unaware, ESPN's Offline Typhoon App was a tool that allowed league commissioners to work a virtual draft board on their figurer or laptop, with options similar a typhoon-choice timer, pausing the draft, and undoing picks.

There was a player lath (with all the available players), a roster board (showing each team's squad), and a draft summary just similar the normal draft boards many people buy each year. Basically, information technology was like the traditional cardboard draft lath with stickers, just it had supped-upward options, making things like shooting fish in a barrel on everyone. Internet connection wasn't even necessary, and league commissioners could upload the draft results instantly when the draft was completed (or when they got internet connexion).

But like a mid-night robbery, ESPN took away what is arguably their best feature without telling anyone. Those that have held early on drafts and were planning on using the Offline Draft App—which they might take done for the last few years—were in for an unpleasant surprise on draft day.

A quick search on Twitter shows a few cases of what people are dealing with.

Despite these complaints earlier in the month, ESPN did not make any announcement to league commissioners or anyone else that plays ESPN Fantasy Football, instead opting to tell people subsequentlythey find out about the effect themselves.

There are more than complaints, with users using stronger language to display their displeasure.

I feel so bad for those that had no idea ESPN was planning on discontinuing the characteristic, particularly the league commissioners that were so put in a tough position trying to run their typhoon. The emptying of the Offline Typhoon App once more displays the incompetence of leadership at ESPN. It's 1 thing to get rid of the Offline Draft App, but it's another affair to do it without telling your millions of users.

And it shows how out of touch ESPN is, which has been the case for a while now.
