I shot an email to TSN and got this reply...
Yes, it should launch some time after the hockey games.

I have the color-coded schedule grid in a spreadsheet, oriented in both directions (one sheet vertical, one sheet horizontal). You can probably manipulate one of those sheets to fit a page as desired.

Quick question, does anyone know if it's possible to get an ultimate team with tokens? I've looked around the site and can't seem to find evidence to the contrary. thnx

they keep the token redemption area hidden very well. I bookmarked it 2 years ago to avoid that problem
Token Redemption (need to be logged in)

I see TSN has butchered it. My tokens are no where to be found and I have probably 20k. Can't wait to figure out where they went.

Lol good luck. I checked that page, and it will only allow me to buy trades and some old baseball packages. I have emailed them to see what the story is.

Tokens were all converted to "credits". If you buy a team and you would have had ample tokens to fund it, you should see a cash credit applied to produce a net cost of zero.
Having said that, I have no idea how you can check on the amount of the credit balance in your account.

Yeah, I just came to that conclusion too. It would be nice if they told you how many credits you had so you could keep track of them.

Hoops is back, oh yes. A few comments:
- I never used any of of the TSN tools. I always used (and will use) Rotoguru's.
- I already love and hate the new layout.
- I already know that I will be tradeless in week 2.
- I am happy to see so many old faces around here (old as in "having played for almost a decade now).
- As always, my thanks to Deejay for the invitation to the Ultimate Boards League.
...and finally, yes, the trade buying scared me too at first. Thank God it's disabled for the league we play in.
Good luck all.
Dallas will win this year. Hopefully.
Ole

Sorry
I don't think I see how credits can be used.
They continue to say that credits will be switched after baseball and golf seasons but NBA gets underway before that.
Seems their big chance to grab cash from those owning credits.
Am I wrong here?
Has anyone cashed in credits for Ultimate Hoops yet?

Aha! Front office. Who knew!
If you don't have any teams, you can get a free team in the Season 1 Sal Cap Challenge game, and then check your front office page.

47 You are correct sir !
I'll have to pay and collect my money from the baseball regular season
Didn't know I needed to stay away from post season baseball.
So be it.
Still love this game best !

If you read the thread they also mention how they intend to add different periods for search options and all the features we are used too. I am sure it will be a slow process and full of mistakes but hopefully in the end we have a good product.

Finally just bought my teams, I'm officially sucked in again. Some thoughts on the new interface:
- Holy crap, we can finally put up a team picture. I like this a lot.
- Is it just me or is last minute trading going to be harder now? I don't see any page or drop down that lets you quickly toggle between teams. Is going through the front office tab the only way?

I'm not a multiple-team guy, but definitely think last minute trades will be harder for another reason...you have to release a player before you buy another, so no selling someone directly for a player...which is somewhat frustrating since you can't know for sure whether the player you are buying is frozen or not.

Oh wow, I could see that being really problematic. Not a fan of this change (and I'm in the minority who has never had a problem with them in the past about anything).

Good! While this game consumes a lot of time for the top players it is nice to see a change that may compensate those players that actually have a life (outside of TSN Ultimate Hoops) :)
The single biggest problem remains the NBA's pathetic injury report issue.

Agreed, I wish they'd have to submit an active roster to the media a couple hours before the game.

I emailed TSN about it, they said they'll forward the issue on. Hopefully they somehow get it in but I'm not expecting it. Game-time Camby trading is now five times as risky.

Post 29 Due to your again greatness to this game....I might have been sucked in to play again this year as your horizontal spreadsheet is going to cut tons of time for me right off the start. It was one of the reasons I was leaning towards not playing. Plus I never win just contribute to all of your credits...ha ha ha

Wasn't planning on playing this year as I'm not going to have time to actually look at basketball some days, but the RIHC draft is almost over. And I've got unused tokens. Maybe I'll just put in one team and accept that my team isn't going to all that good, so I can play GMD.
How many teams have signed up this year?

Rules seem to be the same.
Site design is completely different.
To see the site design, you can sign up for a team in the free game and try that out. Site functionality is the same as for Ultimate.

If you click on Universal Rankings, TSN lists every team in Ultimate Hoops. There appear to currently be 879 teams. My guess this means that this is the last year of Ultimate Hoops.

How many teams play hockey? I imagine less than basketball. If that game is viable then hoops could be as well.

I really dislike the new format. I also find it a little annoying that I can't click on the username of the people in my league and see their TSN history. I like knowing what kind of competition is in each league.
