How about an online league app?

So this could be helpful...an app that allows you to set lineups, manage transactions, browse free agents / waiver wire / trading block, etc...much like iOOTP already allows us to do, then upload any changes.

The big issue is getting the app to play well with OOTP, but from a former programming major it looks like there's a similar structure between OOTP and iOOTP. Plus the app doesn't have to perform any actions, just save changes and connect to a server.

Just throwing it out there. Could do a few updates at work, at the bar, while traveling, or just browse the league when your not looking at a PC. What do you think?

Love the idea, its been pitched several times, little or no chance of it happening any time soon.

Not enough bodies working on the game to perfect this type of procedure, without ignoring the main game.

Heck, I'd be happy if the game-generated HTML could detect a mobile browser and apply CSS accordingly.

Awesome idea. I made a post about it about a year ago as well. Maybe if we keep bringing it up it will eventually make its way into a part of OOTP. I would prefer this over the current iOOTP any day.

A mobile version of the html would be... awesome.

Another thing; we all know OOTP Developments is a small company but this could be done by someone independently, with permission.

FaceGen and the OOTP Engine don't need to be included, just a browsing and uploading system. I'm probably generalizing too much there

I think a lot of sales are being missed with the lack of this. Such as myself and I know some others who don't even play this anymore because there isn't an app for online leagues. I haven't played in years and won't again unless there is some type of an app. I think this should be made the #1 priority which would bring in more players creating more sales.

They can do this but it costs $100 per site (3rd party web company solicited me)
