Updates Needed for Multiplayer Leagues

Mike Lowe · 12-23-2023, 07:50 PM

I took time to consolidate issues we are seeing in our online MP league.

I have a team of guys who help me commish/sim the league, and we are all veterans of OOTP Baseball and its online functionality. We feel FHM is behind in terms of functionality when compared to OOTP, and we are hoping to see quality-of-life improvements made to the game in a future update(s).

*staff signing/firing is not organic for human GMs in-game. The commissioner has to manually edit a contract for a specific team or fire the personnel rather than the human GM firing or multiple human GMs making bids on staff members.
*Human GMs cannot buy out players on their own. Again, it must be done by the commissioner.
*Human GMs cannot submit a trade in-game.
*There is no way to generate HTML reports or similar.
*There is no way to watch game replays.
*Emails keep reappearing in updated league files for users after being deleted.
*League options/settings are locked down way more than with OOTP. This is likely a much bigger ask.

We are not trying to bash at all, and we're hoping that these elements can be worked on to allow for online play to be more robust. We support the game and enjoy it. It's also on its 10th edition, so we do not feel any of these asks are insurmountable.

Thank you for reading and considering.
