SandboxPlus.com is by far the best fantasy site on the net and is a pay site btw.great forums,customer service,live scoring.
you get 2 teams,1 regular which is called full contact and the other is sbx which is a customizeable version of full contact.with sbx,you can have divisions,although im not sure how many.sandbox also has keeper leagues,live drafts,playoffs and IR spot options in sbx as well.
the 2 things that really set it apart for me are the awesome interface and the fantasy point set up.sandbox has its own point based scoring system and on roster,league roster,trade desk,and waiver wire pages,etc. it has the FP totals and FP/G averages for each player.i know with many other sites,all it has is the players stat line,but not the actual FP numbers,so its basically a guessing game when comparing players to set lineups,make trades,etc.
the player news is also better than any other site.anytime you see a players name,if you click it,you get that player's profile.the profile has everything you need to know about the player.it has live stats and complete stats and FP numbers for the current and each other season in the players career.it also has player news.anythime the player makes any type of news whatsoever,whether he just scored a TD,was upgraded to probable,or moved up on the depth chart the news is added to his profile.
they also have a dead team replacement system,so if a league has a dead team,the commish notifies sandbox and then the league is added to a list.then if there is someone who wants to take on a dead team free of charge,they may view the list of leagues and pick one to join.

I did that last year and enjoyed it. The only two bad things about it were that the live drafts are awful -- very slow and often completely break down and stop altogether,

I used to use Sandbox before they screwed over their customers.
The 2 things that set it apart for you are actually pretty tame, Sandboxemployee.
Who cares about the interface? Yahoo had that perfected 3 yrs ago. Its fast and easy to use - what else do you want?
As for the FP setup - I guess looking at stats to determine if a player is good might be slightly challenging for the less mathmatically inclined, but Im pretty sure most people understand that the more yds and TDs a player gets, the more FPs they score. Its not as much of a "guessing game" as you might think.
As for your updated player news - pretty much every sight that has FFB has this feature. Yahoo has been doing it for yrs now.
Dont come here peddling Sandbox - many of us remember.
Basically, half way through the season they decided to start charging and locked off anyone that didnt pay them the ransom. Non-preferred customers were locked out during "Peak Usage" time - basically you couldnt do anything between 9am-9pm unless you coughed up loot. Great way to gain clients and a reputation, huh?

I remember that. The peak usage thing was so annoying

Lots of sites change to a pay system after being a free site but to do it in the MIDDLE of a season?? That is completely unprofessional and a good way to lose ALOT of customers. I use ESPN's fantasy site not because it's the best but because I've been there since 1996 and I know I can always get in good leagues with good players there.
