Complete Coaching in online leagues

[imnotjesus]

From the 2006 forum...

"GMs can make offers to coaches/scouts/etc. directly, and if more than one offer is received at once there's a section of AI code to allow the coach to decide on his own which team he signs with."

Can someone confirm that this is indeed the game behavior in OOTP 2007? I'm looking at implementing Complete Coaching in my online league, and the manual says nothing about this...

I don't play online, so I can't confirm. What I can do is say that other posters have mentioned this occuring. (ie. Writing to ask why a coach sent e-mails to several owners saying he'd accepted their offers, but only ended up with one, and why that particular one?)

Our experience with using this online (GUBA) is that this is flat out broken. In fact, our testing shows the if owners hire coaches from the Available Personnel listing via exports the team with the highest team ID will be awarded those coaches every time.

We have taken to doing personnel hire/fires via our league forums be that has become such a pain in the ass we are most likely doing away with the use of coaches (we are keeping scouts) all together until the in game functionality is fixed. Ideally this would work just like player free agents, but I guess we'll wait and see.
