Disallow cheating by online commissioners

Do not allow players, scouts, and coaches to be edited by the online league commissioner and do not allow them to see "true ratings".

Your issue appears to be with a commissioner, not the game.

I have been in far too many leagues where the commish seems to get all of the breaks in drafting and in trades, not to mention finding a lot more 77 potential + prospects on a scouting discovery trip.

If these items can be disabled for online leagues then everyone can comfortably feel that the league is on an even playing field instead of wondering if the commissioner is cheating whenever something good happens to the commissioner's team.

That's a commish problem, not an in game problem. If he is taking a peek at true ratings, you either need to find a new league or force the commish to step down.

Honestly, the need to edit players comes up more often than you'd think. But I agree with having the ability to hide true ratings if it's an online league.

If you have to prevent cheating then it's not worth having the module. My impression is that 99% of all online commishes are 100% honest and committed to their league. Big respect for those who give their time to make online leagues a huge part of OOTPB.

Which online leagues are you in?

That sounds like an awful question, but I am legitimately curious. I have been in various shades and remain in the ones I feel adhere to your second sentence.

It's a fair question. Many leagues years ago, none at this time. I have a bad habit of joining online leagues then getting busy at work with travel, getting behind and giving up. Strictly my issue. I expect that when I retire permanently I'll join a couple of leagues.

My post was a little tongue-in-cheek. Some people seem to get overwrought about the possibility of cheating. It's usually pretty easy to spot.
