Has anyone been able to get the StatTracker to work this week?

Last year I didn't have a problem, however, this week I keep showing the "Loading" animation after the flash screen loads.

I've even walked away for about 30 min and came back and it was still "Loading".

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble?

One of my leagues loads the Stat Tracker immediately, in the other I havent been able to get it to load.

It works for one league, but not the other.

You need to make sure that Microsoft Java is enabled, and Sun's is disabled (not a guru, but I followed the instructions on the Yahoo fantasy page).

I think that its a great investment. For those of you who used it last year, I really think they've improved the interface this year. You can get to everything seamlessly from the stattracker main screen. Whats it going for , like $9.99 a season?

I played in a "Plus League" last year. Only thing worthwhile is the StatTracker. $10 is a great price IF you are a serious fantasy player. The rest of the stuff, emails and all isnt worth a dime.

Sweet, I just disabled Sun's and it works great now.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't planning on getting any of the email stuff as I'm already a subscriber to footballguys... But I thought the live scoring was nice this afternoon, $10 isn't bad either...

I ordered for the full season yesterday and then noticed that it doesn't track individual defensive player tackles. Is that common with statracker or am I missing something?

The statracker is very much improved from last year and yahoo already has my $10. I think the preformance will be quicker next week, when everybody and their brother isn't trying to access it.

It would seem the yahoo stat feed does not receive tackles. Stattracker has never recorded tackles for individual players, they show up on Monday.

Tackles aren't an official NFL statistic, so thats why they aren't a recorded live stat.

I love stat tracker this year, but had serious problems with access this week. How do I disable Sun (what is sun)?

There are instructions right on the webpage (yahoo), but its pretty easy. Its under tools - options - advanced. Make sure that the Microsoft was is checked, and the Java one isn't.

OCCASIONALLY Yahoo has problems with both Sun & Microsoft's VM both being installed.

I am using only VM at this point(fixed my earlier problems with them).

There will be almost no delay after week 1. Yahoo had alot of problems in August as well, due to all the drafts taking place. But there should be no problems in any of their fantasy games from now on.
