I actually used both last year (this is year 3 for me for the Compiler). Both are very nice programs (with the DD being a little more refined by being a VB program and it is free). Big fan of the Compiler (great job Mike!) also though. Since I'm an advanced Excel user I end up with the ability to tweak it a bit. Draft buddy is a nice add on and I prefer using that to record/publish my league's draft results. My main complaint on all these products is I don't have all my league's scoring options. Return yards & TD's for individual players & 2 pt conversions really impact the WR's in my league (and some RB's). I like to use both programs for the varied projections and add my own tiered rankings (A, B, C, etc) as a 3rd (& main draft board) source. I use the data in the Compiler & DD to bounce against my rankings at pick time (along with other site & historical data). That seems to work best for me and produced 2 Championships last year (redraft & keeper league). I usually finish 1st or 2nd in my leagues (2-4 per year)........with the occasional aberration. I think both programs/sites do a very good job with their projections & tools and have very well informed/knowlegeable football fans................ but I have found over the years not to discount my own rankings (sometimes they are just as good).

Hi Mike, I'd certainly appreciate having the ability to calculate with the return yards/TD's in the compiler (even without the projections). Thanks!

Mike, Have you added the ability to factor in return yards/TD's for WR & RB's? Really impacts the player values in my league. Thanks & great news regarding the price reduction.

Mike, Glad to hear it's almost done.......the fever is coming HAHA! While I am dissapointed at the product now costing $14.95 I feel like this is a superior product (which is supported in excellent fashion). However, a lower cost might have returned all previous users (I.E. $4.95).................and netted more $'s (hard earned $'s I might add) In my job I develop many tools like this and it would take a lot of time to re-create it's functionality. Keep up the great work Mike and looking forward to hearing about the new features [ 06-14-2003: Message edited by: fdemello ]
