I don't really get the reply by Seb that you quoted. I love ootp, I've managed online leagues for basically almost 20 years...there are hockey sims out there that handle management features just fine as it relates to online play. I don't really understand how games like Eastside can do it...but ootp can't?

The other stat to me is a basic misunderstanding of your demo. First of all, you don't have online players - because the feature wasn't available or didn't work well. Im not buying a game if it doesn't do what I want it to do....so I'm not in your 1% of users because I'm not a user, but would be if online play was capable.

Again, some people find enjoyment in defeating a programmed AI that is the same for everybody. To me, playing against real people is what makes ootp great - it creates a community of people across the globe...why wouldn't you want to promote that rather than play by yourself mentality?

If online leagues were capable, I would get you 30 new users in two weeks. How many other leagues would form because of it?

I simmed using a 1998 sim before converting to ootp in 2012...theres an online demo out there for hockey - but choosing to ignore it seems odd to me
