Network play isn't available as such, but perhaps you could work it with windows 2 monitor support to both be on the same computer, using seperate monitors, but you'd have to have your keyboard and gamepad connected to the one comp. Not sure though, the bottom line is hotseat is the only way to play on all formats, even PC, but it is for up to 8 players, but if 8 players ever get on one PC to play, I'll streak at Parramatta Stadium against the Bulldogs. (no, I wouldn't really)
Not sure about the 8 man knockout comp, I think you can do it, not sure about being able to control more than one side in it though. I think pen and paper and running friendly games might be our only option. It'll be one of those things we don't find out until we have the game in our hands, unless Vodka or anyone whose played a full version can clear it up. The official word is 'only one team in season mode' but does that apply to the knockout custom comps? No idea.
In other words, I'm no help at all and am just rephrasing what everyone else has said. Good work me.
