Suggestion
Real Time OOTP process/daemon

Hopefully this comes out right. Here I go:
I love playing OOTP but unfortunately I have to work so I cant play it 8 hours a day. I'm also a Chicago Cubs fan and they play a lot during the day and since I am at work I cannot watch them. However the main difference is that I AM able to follow the Cubs via their website. So here's the idea: Implement a process/daemon where games are simmed and uploaded to a site of my choosing as the games are played. Then I could watch as my OOTP Chicago Cubs defeat the Cardinals and watch the real Cubs do the same from the comfort of my work computer.

How would this work?
From when this process/daemon is turned on it looks at the time on the computer vs the time of day of the game. When the time on the computer is past the time of the game it will sim the game (prolly the whole game right now since im not asking for remote managing). Then the process/daemon would divide the box scores, play-by-play, etc into timed slices and uploads the appropriate one every 30-60 seconds.

Now it seems like you're watching the game being played out!

I can see this being very neat to have for Online Leagues. They'll be able to track their team through the week (or however long). Maybe this process/daemon will allow remote changes be made for future games? A lot could be done.

Reason
Mainly to pass time at work. Also good for Online Leagues.

Priority
Low
