This is actually a fabulous idea. I've bought every version of FOF and the backend engine (play outcome, stats, AI, roster managements, trades, free agency, finances) doesn't get more solid. It's the front end that detracts from the game -- the stuff that OOTP excels at. If you could team up in some fashion, it would be awesome.
It really all depends on what Jim sees for the future of Solecismic and the viability of additional releases of FOF. Maybe the future is working with OOTP.
For one of the versions, he did team up with EA. It only lasted for that one year and I don't think it was a positive experience. But OOTP isn't the monster that EA is so I think the working relationship would be completely different.
