The schedule generator in OOTPB is very poor and this is very well known.

I used to get frustrated and upset with all of those single games at the end of the season and teams not playing each other correct numbers of games home and away, but in defense of the game, it is very difficult to program, considering all of the various combinations of leagues and divisions and total number of games.

I just manually do my schedules for each league. Once you create a schedule, the game keeps it for each season, but does switch the opponents year-to-year.

(I have not played OOTP6 yet..still setting up my league...but in OOTP5 and previous versions there was a glitch in the schedule editor...hope it has been fixed in this version)

If you do create your own schedule manually, be advised of a glitch in the schedule editor...when you change the 6th game in the left column, it causes the entrie schedule to slide down and some games are hidden from view. The only way you can play those games is to sim them...or reenter that day's schedule over again manually...which is a pain, if you have to make a lot of changes.
