I've never spoken to anyone who has tried CBS and Yahoo PLUS. It would be interesting to hear comparisons between pay products from people who have tried them both.
I have played both and imo there is no comparrison. I think CBS is awful. It is complicated to find players, stats, and other information. I would much rather have even the free yahoo but the plus leagues are alot better than CBS imo.
There will come a day when Barry Bonds leaves baseball, and everything about the game will be the better for it.
Hmm, so far I'm leaning toward the Yahoo PLUS. Could just be that I'm familiar with Yahoo already and want to stay in my comfort zone, but if the main advantages of CBS are posting polls and stories, then I think I may stick with Yahoo.

CBS also has a deeper player pool, stays up year round (great for keeper leagues), and can handle all sorts of categories or stat searches (ex. can have it look at HR/ab).
Ive tried CBS every yr and I just cant stand it. I have to admit that I hardly ever use their stattracker service, nor do I buy it on Yahoo. I agree with Kentx that they seem to go out of their way to make it complicated to find players/ stats/ etc. I know that people who are used to CBS say its more in depth, but honestly its just not worth it for me - I can get that info MUCH easier other places it seems.
Also - I forgot - does CBS allow for roto-based H2H, or do they only have a points based H2H format?
The better backgrounds and pictures just dont do it for me - give me the stripped down Yahoo leagues and lets play ball.
I prefer Yahoo 10 fold over CBS. I have a hard time finding the players that I want for my team on CBS, but can easily get the info from my yahoo leagues. I surely will do my best to never play in another Sportsline league.

At what point do you attribute this to your familiarity with one layout over another and difficulty learning to understand a new system?
I don't get what's so hard about typing a player's name into the player search then clicking "add this player" if they are unowned or seeing their owner if they are owned.
It's quite obvious that most of the people who swear to never give CBS another shot know VERY little about CBS's software.
I strongly dislike debating CBS and yahoo with CAFE users .

Let's get back to questions about CBS .
bingo
I don't think this was supposed to be a thread about which one is better. It's like debating what type of music is best. Just go with what you like and win.
