But, even still, it only covers a fraction of the micro-managing that one has when having OOTP. It also incorporates elements of espn.com and the OOTP generated stuff with team clubhouses filled with information which includes data things Leo used to track in threads on here- awards and stuff. It's kinda flashy but not really needed for OOTP (although it obviously negates the need to track stuff in threads) but it's amazing for FBB purposes.

    what's the link? If it's simple enough it may be a path to pursue.

    Are they on a message board as well in addition to that site?

    You'll probably have limited access since you are not in the league. Yes, basic message boards on proboards for announcements, trades, trade blocks, etc.

    I could get it again at some point in the near future, assuming it doesnt have issues with newer Windows

    I may lend the second license to someone until they decide if it's worth the buy or not as you get two installs on purchase.
    I actually used to be a very expensive ass, but in this economic climate I've had to lower my prices a bit.

    As for the purchasing question: Previous Versions of OOTP
    Get the demo, upgrade.

    Tinkering, it seems that extensions cannot be done unless one has the commish PW (which only Leo and/or I would have). It seems everything else should work, however.

    Tested out Spring Training. You CAN upload changes, so that will be one tweak if I'm running the show:

    You own the game, make all the changes you want.

    You don't own the game, you're stuck with default or coaches. I won't be doing manual adjustments.

    I don't mind doing the typical limit of 5 manual adjustments if we're doing this together.
