Multiplayer Newbie FAQ?

[hukarez]

I'm curious how this multiplayer works. Never really clicked on any of the functions; nor have I brought up the menu in my game...

But does anyone have some kind of FAQ on how this works? I'm guessing the commissioner of the league is the one who simulates the game and the like? I think the only multiplayer league I participated in was an OOTP5 one, but that was incredibly short lived - and seemed like I didn't have much control over the scenario aside from setting lineups and moves and the like.

It's late and I'm kind of lazy, so this is all I've got. Hope it helps.

No worries! Much appreceiate pointing me into that thread's direction. Though, from the sound of things, there are still some kind of issues going on with the MP component of the game?

Ah well; no big deal. I'm patient. I'm sure it'll tide over in a patch or two.

Been out of the FOF loop for awhile but this MP edition is getting me interested. I assume that each owner will be able to watch their game "get played" after the commish sims the results?

If your interest is serious, the USFL should have some openings very soon (there may be some currently). We use fictional teams/ real players/ and had an allocation draft. We are currently in the last week of the preseason. And here's the temporary address for our future website: http://alts.mnvibe.com (http://alts.mnvibe.com/)

Is this viewer the same as Fido's utility? Or is that HTML thing something that's totally different? I guess I'm confusing myself with third party utilities out there...

It's something totally different.

So in a MP league even if all the owners own a copy of FOF you have to depend on a 3rd party software to "watch" the games? That doesn't sound right.

About 12 years ago I played in some sim league like FOF (it was very basic) where we all created game plans then uploaded them to the commish. He would sim the week and have a file for us to download. Then my opponent and I could watch the same "game" as it was played out in front of the commish. Basically like a VCR tape of the game.

It seems simple, I can't believe FOF does not support this?
