It certainly inches closer with every release. FHM7 allowed multiple leagues, now 8 adds tournaments. There are still a few core issues that hold it back which I don't get the impression have been changed for this release (e.g. connected leagues inheriting region from the major league; not being able to define regions; junior farm leagues having adult players; not being able to have a league that can draft all juniors without connecting them), but it's certainly at a place now where you can Jerry-rig a half-decent custom world and have fun with it, even if it's not set up exactly as you really want it.
I always keep in mind that OOTP has got where it is over the course of 22 versions. FHM has had much less time to grow. Hopefully it will get there some day.
