Okay I've tried everything from replay mode to reduced ratings, no financials, 4 teams, 1 division, etc. etc., I can't get it to sim past the last game of the season. I guess though it's a small improvement if, as you say, you used to not be able to sim through a month. I was a bit disappointed the first time since it was working so well. Oh well....hope this helps you. If you want me to test anything else feel free to ask. I always have time...
