Human trading with CPU in online league

Giants44 · 04-11-2016, 09:34 PM

just started a league wiht my son and 2 friends. just the 4 of us because we wanted to do a draft at our house this weekend.

the problem is now the 4 human teams cant seem to propose trades with the CPU teams which takes away a lot of the fun.

does anyone know if this is possible and what I might be doing wrong?

yeah, reading the manual, what a concept. I probably should have tried that first

Out of the Park Developments Online Manuals

In commissioner mode you can propose trades on behalf of human GMs to the AI. Might add a layer of difficulty as you'll have to do this for everyone in the league.

Yeah, this is how we decided to handle this.

We each have our own manager and then we have bud selig as commish. I didn't password protect that manager (it is just the 4 of us)

So if any of them want to propose a trade then I let them use that account and submit it to me as a screenshot. Then I process on the "real" file

Hoping this will work as a workaround

I have played OOTP since v1 and have played in online leagues but this is my first attempt at commish. Using allsimbaseball as turn key host.

Would be cool if v18 added some expansion of cloud based online stuff (maybe OOTP itself as host) with stuff like playing games and trades and drafts all available online. Of course that would be secondary to my hope for expansion of the 3D ballparks to inculded historical parks and my number one hope for a ballpark editor.
