Seeking confirmation of a couple of online league issues that I couldn't find in the manual. These questions may be helpful for many other leagues also (especially newer ones) and relate to the following VERY helpful FAQ document for OOTP4:

http://www.400softwarestudios.com/bo...&threadid=5493

In OOTP5, I'd like to confirm that each owner can use Export to FTP from their team setup page for the following:

Set / change lineups
Set / change pitching rotations and reliever slots
Setting depth charts
Promotions and demotions for all levels of majors and minors
Contract Extension offers
Free Agent Offers
Spring Training modifications
Team strategy settings
Individual player strategy settings
Changing names of minor league affiliates

Unless changes were made in OOTP5 that I am not aware of, it appears owners CANNOT use Export to FTP for the following:

Setting ticket prices
Cutting / Releasing Players
Trading Players
Any changes to financial data
Any changes to ballpark configuration
Amateur draft capabilities

I'm also not certain if the following can be done via team Export to FTP in OOTP5:

Setting promotion days

Last, I'd like to clarify how team passwords work. If the first time a league file is downloaded and opened in OOTP5 for each owner, they set a password for their team, then once teams are exported via FTP and imported back into the league file by the commissioner or simmer, passwords are in effect for all teams that added them, correct ?

Anyone with more knowledge than I (which is I am sure most of you) on this topic have any input or thoughts ?

THANKS !
