Where you'd have to be careful is when importing a schedule from some other source and you also have to consider how your time zone setting is set in your game. If it's let's say you set it for Pacific time and east coast games are set for 7pm in the schedule..then they will start at 4pm (-3hrs.) in ootp.
For example:
When I do the game's schedules each year (since mlb and milb.com give game times in eastern standard time...I have to subtract 3hours for west coast home games cause ootp doesn't do it auto magically. Same for those host cities in the Mt. and Central time zones.
Hope this makes sense.
Thank you. So if I am creating/importing a schedule, for any given game I should have the time set for the home team's local time. As example, if I schedule both a home game for NY and another for LA at 13:05, the game will adjust the LA game based on the city being in the Pacific Time Zone so that it is starting at 16:05 Eastern Time. Is this correct or am I backwards where I should schedule all games from the Eastern Time Zone perspective and the game will adjust the local time based on the home city location?
