Is it possible now with multiplayer to do two player, hotseat in FOF 2004?

Did this question get answered?

Was wondering the same thing...I got a couple of people who've expressed interest in starting a league, hotseat, and sim a few seasons once or twice a month, like a Saturday night league...

As far as I know you can run a multiplayer league with 1-32 players. The commish sets which teams are human and AI managed.

But standard multiplayer requires exporting/importing of game files doesn't it? I'm assuming they wanted to avoid that. I'd be interested to know the answer as well.

there would be no way to do it without the imports/exports.

So you'd export/import from the same machine...I'd start a MPer league then save it, then each person would start his own game(on this machine), save it and then export the file to say, the desktop, and then when everyone is done, I'd start the league and import all their files and simulate the week...ect...

Would this work? Everyone using one system, mine...I mean. This would be at least acceptable.

That would theoretically work. I think you'd have to manually move the export files temporarily though. My system seems to always delete any exports I have in the export directory before creating the new one.

thanks for the advice there...I'll play around with this idea a bit before I plan an evening.

Again thanks all for your quick responses!
