Thank G** my draft is over !

It's practically impossible to make adjustments on my PC during the draft due to it bogging down all the time. On my phone (during the day) it screwed up at least two rounds for me because it IS impossible to do anything at all. I learned my lesson, but to be honest it even messes up all the other Leagues I'm in and trying to watch.
There is a problem there JD that's been on going. Is there any fix to this in the near future??

lol - yep it is very intensive especially in those 2-3 minute speed rounds. It was tough to get things loosened up to even adjust the war room in those windows. My tablet was pretty much useless, I didn't try my phone. If I used a real laptop/PC it could handle things better but still had the lock ups as picks came in.

As long as I didn't keep the war room opened, I was OK - when it was not close to my pick I tried to leave it at my team page. Don't get me wrong it was cool to draft 46 rounds but there was a lot going on and it would lock the browser up pretty good when a pick was up and again when the drafted player was updated.

Well said.... exactly the same problem here.
I tried closing the war room a couple of times, but when things are going quickly It's best to leave it open imo.
I have no idea how I drafted 3 punters...lmao

I absolutely agree that the draft is nearly impossible on a mobile device, it really is the only part that's really bad (and the allocation draft is even worse just because of the amount of data that the browser is processing).

Good news is I am working on it even now - I have a slew of updates to the UI in the oven including making the entire experience work 1,000x better on mobile devices. The draft is actually the main part that's bogging down this update because it is probably the most complicated interface of the entire game. I'm also employing some additional efficiency algorithms that will help the allocation draft - one of the biggest problems is that the interface was built for the annual draft and was never really revisited effectively for an allocation draft. But know that this is the next major issue that is being worked on.

Thank you, JD. Had a feeling you were you doing something to correct the issue.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours...

Ordinarily I would agree on this, but last night I used my iphone on the mfn1 draft and it worked just as well as my laptop. Not sure if something has been done or I got lucky.

Since I wrote that this morning I've logged in randomly to the draft and have had no problems at all.
I was using wifi last night and thought that it may have been a particually strong signal, but today I used 4g and 3g on varying signal strength and it was just as good.
I'm using an iphone 6s with safari, maybe this is a browser issue? The problems Wolfkill had, I too experienced on my desk top which has a LAN connection on superfast BB.....make of that what you will

I only notice the issue in the allocation draft not in a normal draft after the season. The final few rounds of the allocation draft to start a new league have short time slots between picks (2-3 minutes) and the browser locks up when a team hits 0:00 and then again when the page updates with the player that was selected about a minute later - which then you rinse and repeat when the next team hits 0:00. Because the windows are short, it seems like it is constantly locking up and it especially seems to impact devices with less processing power (<--my speculation)

This has been a problem for me on several teams and past seasons. I've tried different browsers/methods and it doesn't change anything really.Thought it was me but others seem to be having the same difficulties also.
I don't who this Gus guy is, but he must be one of the fortunate ones.....hehe!
