Hey Mike, I am a big fantasy baseball guy. Love it as I find it's the best way to still connect to the game that I love. I am happy to report that I have had a dialogue going with Yahoo's fantasy app developers and they are hard at work improving VoiceOver compatibility with the app. I have been talking with them since August, and now participating in a live draft with the app works perfectly with VoiceOver. Unfortunately, the in season gaming experience is still being worked on with VoiceOVer. What I would suggest is going to Yahoo on your Mac or PC going to fantasy baseball where you can find a ton of free leagues to play in. Find a league that looks interesting to you as their are a billion different scoring systems. The only draft format that works in the app is their live standard draft so you would not be able to do an auction style draft with VoiceOver on your phone, but I am confident that that will be accessible soon. For now you will have to manage the day to day of your team on your computer, but I am also confident that Yahoo will have an update to their fantasy app fairly soon that will improve the in season following of your team while using VoiceOVer. The great thing is this app is universal to all of Yahoo's fantasy sports, so moving forward all of the games should work with VoiceOVer. Considering ESPN has never gotten back to me, I really have to applaud Yahoo and caring about making their app accessible with VoiceOVer.I am continuing to work with the development team over there and offer feedback. Unfortunately there is no way for us to beta test anything, but considering how unusable drafting on Yahoo was during football season the app has come a long way. Hope this helps.
