Like in real life, a football team has multiple managers, coaches and co-ordinators.


Does FOF8 allow the team owner to share a game file so other co-ordinators can review and evaluate and then either adjust things and hand it back or simply give advice for the owner to act on or not?


If I had friends that like numbers and budgets and the financial side of managing caps and recruiting for value (is this rookie worth $750k if it means taking a hit on the CAP two years from now?) and crunching what if budgets but he's not interested in the play calls or playbook or managing injuries or balancing the roster etc.


What's the options? Can the save file be shared and handed around (only one person making changes at a time of course)?


Do leagues allow this team effort?


Would other league players appreciate some help in area's they're not strong in?

I don't think there's anything in the game to prevent this, either in single player or multi-player.

We have posted links to entire single player games here before - there was a whole sub-forum for the "One and Done Challenge" at one point, where everyone took the same starting point for a challenge career. We have had some "GroupThink" challenges also, doing just what you're suggesting. It's a big bundle of files to save, but doable.

In multi-player, pretty easy, I'd think. Commish gives out a password, if multiple owners shared that password and then shared their various playbook/gameplan files, I think it would work out fine. Probably a lot less cumbersome to have one person in charge of the entire game-time season (to avoid mixups with files, the sort of thing I run into sometimes when playing from two different PCs) but nothing in the game's architecture to keep you from doing what you're describing.

One thing to keep in mind if you want to co-own a team in multiplayer, for every stage (ran by the commissioner) only 1 export can be used from the team, so it will require coordination between those co-owners who will do what for that specific stage. (If 2 owners export different things, the first uploaded file will be overwritten by the second file submitted).
