    Default Dobbernomics set to relaunch Oct. 1

    The revamped Dobbernomics will be ready for relaunch October 1.

    This year, the player values will be set based on my Fantasy Guide projections and have a better tie-in with the relaunch of the Dobber sites - with improved flow and navigation across the sites including the forum, the shop and Frozen Pool for improved discussion and research. Strictly a free game, the premium features we will incorporate free into the game as soon as we can (may not be ready on launch day).

    You can sign up for more information about the launch of Dobbernomics here



    This is such a great game, I was so in love with it back in 1999. Played it with baseball and football too.

    I need some help growing it (since it's been offline all summer) so if you can like this Facebook page I would appreciate it:

    It is a free fantasy game modeled after the old-school "Small World" game (later bought out by RotoHog, later bought out by Sporting News before it eventually died off because they tried to charge money for it).

    The idea is that you build your team under an economic system where the player's value rises and falls based on % of worldwide (actual) ownership. The goal is twofold: 1) build up the value of your team (if you buy Player X for $1 million and two weeks later sell him for $1.2 million and buy another player for $1 million, that 0.2 million is part of your team value and can be used to buy better players) and 2) to accrue fantasy points (same as regular fantasy hockey)

    Oh ya, my friend has done this for Football. It’s essentially buy low sell high to maximize a cap and production.

    Cap space is $10
    I buy Stamkos at $1 in week 1
    I sell Stamkos at $1.4 in week 2
    My new cap space is $10.40

    Am I right?

    I passed on this last time - Glad I'll get a second shot.

    Also - does it work like a stock exchange, where if everybody is buying say... Zack Kassian as a sleeper, does his value rise, independent of whether people actually are adding him in leagues?

    Absolutely. Last year I joined a random league and just played to boost my totals vs. the world. The year before, I set up my own league (but half of them stopped playing after a month, which sucked - so make sure you get good people!)

    If everyone added Kassian one day, then the next day his value would rise the maximum it can rise in a single day (I think that's $100,000). It's dependent on ownership

    Looking pretty rough right now ... A few things I have noticed

    Had to try twice to register a team. Ended up having two teams registered since it said my first team hadn't gone through but showed up anyway. No option to delete a team either.

    After selecting a player it says it will take me back to my team ... Never does

    No search function for a player. Have to go through endless pages to find a certain player.

    No position filter ... Would be nice

    And the worst issue is that it keeps kicking you out for no apparent reason (particularly frustrating when you are on page 35 looking for some value). Don't have time (spent almost an hour and may have 6 players) to select a team. Not worth it to really join after the season starts since there is a distinct advantage of capitalizing on value. Will maybe try again next year. Maybe it's not compatible with the iPad but from my experience not an enjoyable or easy one. Sorry Dobber

    Both search functionality and position filter will be added shortly.
