Kickbase - Fantasy Soccer

Was never really into fantasy but this got me hooked, loved the head to head mode, and found all the controls super easy to use. My and my friends are having a blast using this app.

This app has so many issues. Like most others it seems to be such a great app for fantasy at the start. But once you actually start to use it the app shows you what it’s really about. The MLS has done a partnership with a company that is strictly trying to make money and not a solid product for fans to enjoy. The app is something like 6$ month for basic fantasy features like seeing your opponents lineups in your league. Completely outrageous and shouldn’t be a thing. They have so many other options to put behind a paywall but this is a basic feature which shouldn’t be behind it. Also the point system doesn’t quite make sense. Just stick to the basic win or loss with points. Also having a deduction if you don’t have a starting player is stupid. And when a player doesn’t play you get disqualified for the whole week. The overall design of the app is probably the only beneficial thing. It’s well design besides some features like the captain system and others mentioned it’s good. But if you want to play fantasy with your friends this is not the app for now. My friends have all deleted the app and will probably not play MLS fantasy again because of this. Good job MLS for screwing over your fans once again.

I like the idea of this app, and I’m currently using the free trial, however already frustrated by how difficult it is to tell basic things about the players through the search function (you can’t search by team, for instance, and though they say photos are available many times they are not. And it’s confusing that you may be searching for a player and not see them, only to realize you’re not looking in the right category. Also, it’s really NOT intuitive telling which players are injured or not). There are very limited options for rulesets when you start your own league (you can only do the “Arena” mode and essentially can only set a salary cap). And how much stuff even with the free trial is behind a paywall. And once the free trial goes away I’m sure the features will be even less. I hope that MLS can work with Kickbase to improve the feature set that you get in the free tier. Let’s get as many people playing MLS Fantasy as possible!
