I'm finishing out the third season of my league, and have had no problems up to this point. I wound up tied for first in my division on the last day of the season (October 2nd), played a one game playoff game (Oct 3rd), was sent the e-mail about the playoffs starting, and I went to sim to find the start of the playoffs. Well, I got to October 10th, and then I realized, "this isn't good." I didn't exit OOTP, but I warm booted instead hoping that I could go back in time and fix the problem.
I try to load up the league, and it sticks on the 100% Finalizing screen, and about 5 minutes later finishes loading. Once I get there, it is October 4th (again), and there are no playoffs. The Standings page does have the pairings for the playoffs though! Additionally, there are no messages either. My mailbox and the league news are both void of news.
The box that says "disable playoffs" is NOT checked, just FYI.
I do back up my files, but only right before spring training each year.
Should/can I manually edit the schedule to "add" the postseason games since the game engine won't add them for me? But what about my league history then, how will that be affected?
Any suggestions would be welcomed!
Thanks!
