Terribly sorry to hear about the loss of the OOTP Football Developer.
I run
http://www.deeproute.com and am happy to try and help people get on board. We have a discord you can join as well, and we can discuss any improvements you'd like made to the game.
As a single developer myself, I always fear what would happen if I were to pass away. It's such a shock to hear about someone so passionate about his project, and have it happen to him. His family, and his world are just torn apart. God. I don't know really what to say.
