Fantasy Team Management

First all of it has excellent graphics. It also has little plotline. Only hack-n-slash immersion. The gameplay is reminiscent of the old Ultimas yet with better graphics. There isn't any hand-to-hand combat determined by hitting a button or a key quickly. The attacks are guided by more or a less an Ultima attack. This is: pick your victim and then the character goes out and attacks on his own with your intervention. This also
reminds me of warcraft/starcraft attacks or even the final Fantasy series.
The Game has a couple of clipping issues. Doors which seem to let arrows pass thru and so on. Graphically, it is beautiful. Trees and shadows bring you into the fantasy world.
This is not a "rpg", anyone that states that it is a rpg hasn't got a clue what one is. This is a acquire, deploy, sit back enjoy kind of game. This is not Baldor's Gate. If you are looking for a quick game to play in which you manage a "fellowship" then it is the game for you. If you are waiting for a rpg , wait for Neverwinter Nights.
I like it. I don't consider it a rpg. I love the interface and also the camera movement. I love the speed of the game (e.g. load times). And so on.

Pre-ordered this when it was first announced. Have read two of authors other books and really enjoyed the pace and methodology used. Although I consider myself above the 'beginner' level, I found myself learning a lot and thinking of things in new ways as I read through this book.

Would highly recommend for all fantasy baseball players!

Excellent to discuss options with your team and external parties

Whatever offensive set you use you will find inbound plays here to fit your scheme.  Some plays work better than others but you can only find that out when you test them in game conditions.  A must for your coaching  library.

I've been purchasing the Shandler annuals for years, and his team continually fine-tunes the formulae as well as content presentation to make this a must-have for upcoming baseball seasons. While fantasy leaguers will find an abundance of good data here (I personally only played one year), I strongly believe baseball fans will benefit from, and enjoy reading, the analysis within. My must-have annual every year, along with Baseball Prospectus.

This book is an excellent tool for basic analysis of any team. It is an easy read but does not lack in its depth of coverage of the subject matter. Recommended for leaders and members of all types of teams.

Excellent suggestions for developing a strong team.  Our leadership team of four have this on our weekly agenda for discussion.

The writing in the recent editions is less interesting than it was 4-5 years ago when I started reading and studying these. This is a must-have for any baseball fan including any fantasy baseball fan. This will help identify players who are going to regress or breakout. It's a fun and interesting way to see why your team really did what it did, instead of just thinking that so and so really "inspired" the team. The stats are interesting and the narrative is good and insightful and humorous. The writing has lost a bit of an edge lately.

Johnathan Bales tackles 25 commonly asked questions by fantasy players, and offers his unique spin to each one.  He provides detailed explanations for his conclusions - supporting his arguments with numerous statistics and graphs.  I've played FF for many years, so I have a lot of biases and preconceived ideas about each of the topics that he covers here.  He is very logical & opened my eyes to new ways on how to approach common FF situations...viewing situations with a new, fresh outlook based on trends that many fantasy owners overlook (or choose to ignore altogether).  I recommend this book for owners looking to gain an edge over their predictable league-mates.

If there is one thing you should do this season before submitting your first DFS baseball lineup, it is to read this book. I finished it last night, and will be re-reading it again starting tonight to prepare for this upcoming baseball season. The author clearly states exactly what stats to look at when selecting hitters and pitchers. I will be constructing my rosters way differently this season now that I have read this book. I really hope the author will consider doing a deep dive book like this for DFS football and basketball.

If the Greatest of all time Muhammad Ali was not a man, but a book to help you win your fantasy football league, he would be this book.  This is by far the most useful tool when it comes to your fantasy league.  The RPV that was developed by Joe Pisapia has single handedly helped me to win my league, hands down.  I can honestly say that because it can tailored exactly to your league, you can't go wrong, you simply can't.  While your other league owners are looking at the same old generic lists, you can stay 10 steps ahead of them by breaking down each position based on their RPV for your league while taking advice from fantasy experts in the book.  The Fantasy Black Book is hands down the greatest of all time.

This was my first year buying the Prospect Handbook and I was not disapointed. Great analysis, reviews and projections for the top 30 prospects on each team. Plus, the top 100 prospects and organizational rankings. This is the perfect companion for the best information on all of your team's future stars.

Almost every fantasy football team owner and couch GM fantasizes about building their own team and navigating the challenges of the salary cap, player contracts and free agency. This book, written with great detail and experience by Jason Fitzgerald and Vijay Natarajan, gives the reader a glimpse about what that's all about. It's a must read for fans who want to know the in and outs of the business side of the NFL and how player contracts work. It's also a great resource for reporters who cover the league. What is offset language? How does performance-base pay work? What does the Rule of 51 mean? This book answers all of those questions.

I love this book. When I hear about a player I'm not familiar with, I can get a quick idea of what that player is about. It's a great resource.

I was dragged into fantasy baseball last year and had a total blast playing. I know there are tons of things about players out there, but this book was useful to look up players as the year went on. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the players which was handy for a baseball rookie like me. As for the stats I am not totally sure, but I think they were generally accurate.

So I now have the 2011 edition on my desk. I am sure it will become as dog eared as my 2010 version because this is now a baseball must have for me. Last year I came in 2nd in a 12 team 5x5 league. That of course had a lot to do with luck and catching lightning in a bottle. This year we are doing a 6x6 league....

BTW you can get as crazy with the math if you like with this book...

The book did a great job of explaining how to build a practice plan around your offense.  It will help you prioritize the concepts you want to run, and build your practice plans based on the importance of the concepts.  It gives you a lot of situational items to think about it.  I find it to be a great resource.

This guide is full of great content. You will undoubtedly be prepared for 2014 Fantasy Football. In fact, this is a must for anyone who wants to take others down in their fantasy football league. The information is very well-researched and presented in an easy to read format which I really like! The added bonus of getting a free SkyBox Subscription (worth $12) from none other than The Fantasy Greek makes this guide a complete win-win! Highly-recommended!
