Hi my friend and I just bought this game hoping to play multiplayer together but we don't know how to set it up. We are stuck on the host and port part of the instructions. Please help us understand this. Thanks

There's a guide here, but it is a few versions behind, so it may not be accurate now: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=292875

Please reply with more details after reading these.

(*) You need to setup a FTP to play in an online league (multiplayer) unless you play hot-seat (on the same computer) or share the full save between each other on a different way.

I have read through all that, but it doesn't tell you what FTP host to use.

Who do you recommend for online leagues for FHM?
Stats plus does not support FHM and I have no clue if/who does.

Does OOTP offer something for their own product?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

OK, we have the FTP stuff working.

But it is not clear if there is a way for the commissioner to upload a new league file within the game or if we have to do that manually using FTP?

Then, we started the league, how does the initial draft work?
Can you do it "Live" where guys can each take turns picking?
There doesn't seem to be a way.

Then we were going to do the draft in our forums, but the commissioner does not have an "Act As" like ootp baseball does, so he cannot act as us to input the results manually.
If we have our accounts password protected, he cannot just input the main commish password to act as us like you can in baseball.

These are just some initial questions.

No the FTP league file function in game does not work yet, need to do out of game for league files you can only import team exports in game.

There no way to do a live draft in game, commissioner would have to process all the picks but can do in real time, commissioner password would work for login for all user teams.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for this information.
It does work to select a manager and use the commissioner password to log in as them even if they have a password set.

And I hope they get a way to upload a league file within the game soon.
I can't believe this is not a feature, again, having OOTP Baseball, I would think some of this they would have figured out in a very early version of the game.
