OOTP Needs To Focus On Online Leagues

strzepeksc · 01-19-2020, 06:53 PM

It is time for OOTP to put Perfect team after the needs of Online league issues and requests. The rule V draft needs to be fixed, the scouting debacle needs rework, and it is time to provide a dedicated server for on line leagues to utilize face to face play similar to Diamond Mind and Strat-a-Matic. If they can do it why can't OOTP ?

They definitely need to up their online league concentration and put a little less into PT. I've had more crashes with this version than ever.

When uploading league reports, about 25% of the time, the upload doesn't start and I have to restart the game. Never had either before this version.

I prefer real time online leagues meaning we would manage against each other as I do not like allowing bench coach or PC to manage my games I prefer my own lineups and my own determination of when and who to replace during the game. If there is away already I am not aware of it

I agree this should be a priority!

Completely agree...although LAN/WAN should be available too.
The fact you can't have friends over to play your game is weird to me.
Each player should be able to look at there own screen

agreed 100%

OOTP online leagues would possibly be THE most popular feature if they would just fix it. I know tons of people that would love to join online leagues but they opt out because it is just simply too user-unfriendly. Can't blame em. +1 to OP's post

I absolutely agree. A well-managed online league is the ultimate OOTP experience and they should focus on it and market it as such.

Agreed!!!

Agree 100%. I love the hell out of this game but just seeing what commishes have to go through to make a league function is mind boggling.

OOTP has created a climate of Perfect Team vs. Online Leagues and that's not a way to build. Seems like they are choosing Perfect Team over Online Leagues and that's a shame. It's no as much fun being the red headed step child !
