The Worst – NFL Fantasy Football Review

2016 Week 1: Wow, it got worse. Smh. 2015 Week 7: Could do without the pop up ads. Wow. This thing is looking like a spam site now. Week 1: I can’t believe my league still uses the NFL’s fantasy football, which is still by far the worst I’ve ever used in my life. This year there are more ads, but the app still looks like a high school project. The My Team interface is awful for viewing the performance of your team. It might be useful if it could rotate 90° with the screen. Instead you need to view the matchup, with the distraction of your competitor’s performance, and individually tap each player to see what they did. There are plenty of features from the website that have yet to be added to the app. It’s a mystery how the NFL cannot afford to hire a proper iOS app development team. Why do they wish to soil their brand with this amateur, passionless, stale app? 2014: Week 3: Stop logging me out!!! And let me sort players by their performance for the week, not the entire season. I want to see who has the most passing and rushing yards for the current week. Week 2: Good to see a couple bug fixes, but I've been logged out again and don't know my password. I hope this was a bug and you're not intentionally logging me out every week because the only acceptable reason to log me out is if I change my password. I'm not logged out of the text or mail app on my phone every week. Week 1: A lot of terrible UX in this app, but at least it’s been somewhat simple & straightforward. The website is much worse. Current failures with the app: - Updating to check current score is the worst UX I've experienced. You have to swipe to a different matchup in Game Center and swipe back in order to get the current score for you matchup. - Can't sort players by stats. - Can't view teams & individual player projections of other teams from Game Center, but you apparently can get to the page from the league feed if they've made a trade. - Can't view previous week's scores in game center. - Can't propose a trade. Or get information about players to really make such an ability useful. - The scroll is really annoying on the My Team view. - Sometimes I'm logged out minutes after having just used the app. - Individual player projections are missing from Game Center. - The team projection in Game Center appears to have a bug where it adds the total projection for a player in play in addition to the points he's already earned instead of dividing by remaining playing time or something intelligent. - The projections on NFL.com are always absurdly inaccurate. For instance, currently they're projecting 24.3 points in my league for a 3rd string RB from Tennessee who had 46 yards and no TDs in Week 1. - It’s annoying you tell me what team my opponents team's players are playing, but don't tell me what team they're on. - It’s annoying you tell me what time zone I'm in every time you display a game time. - If I go to view Week 1 in My Team, and tap Matchup, it does nothing. So there are a lot of obvious bugs that need to be fixed. I guess this app was rushed to be released before the season started. Hopefully we will see an update before kickoff of Week 2.
