Would there be consideration for another upgrade to FOF8 should the decision be to prepare and market FOF9 for next season?
Have the changes you have incorporated remained compatible with the current FOF format/GUI or are they structurally incompatible? (My assumption is yes!)
It could be an opportunity to allow the community to stress the changes and provide feedback while we wait for an OOTP GUI.

My primary work on FOF9 has been a complete rewrite of existing function to fit a new set of structures and a new UI framework. In places, I have taken the opportunity to also redo the existing function. For example, the game can support different league sizes and formats as long as there is a league template in place (these are complex enough that exposure to the community to add their own and support reading those in would not be feasible for FOF9 - nor would they even begin to work with FOF8). I'm even thinking about re-doing (again) the staff model beginning in a week or so. It's still entirely an NFL-based game. No college rosters or rules or 110-yard CFL fields or Australian football - that's not going to be configurable. 11 players and four downs (sorry, Colorado) and 100 yards are sacrosanct. If we don't do FOF9 this year, I'm not sure what will happen. Anything and everything is on the table.
