weird behaviour right after starting a new game

[Zeyes]

I'm not sure, some of this might be intended behaviour, but it's hard to tell. Here goes...

1) When creating a new league, and leaving the manager set to "unemployed", the game becomes available on January 1st.

2) When creating a new league, and setting the default manager to a Major League team, the game immediately sims to January 2nd, at which point I'm greeted by an "Attention!" popup telling me that "The following event has not been finished yet: FBL Inaugural Draft". I guess that might be intentional, in case the game thinks there's nothing to do on Jan 1st for a manager who already has a job.

3) When creating a new league, and setting the default manager to a Minor League team, the game immediately sims to January 3rd, i.e. all the way through the inaugural draft. That might be intentional as well, if the logic is that since a minor league manager doesn't have any hand in the inaugural draft, he can safely be forwarded to Jan 3rd. But now...

4) When creating a new league, and creating a second manager identity (in addition to the default Joe Unknown), and setting that second manager to a Major (!) League team, the game still immediately sims to January 3rd, completely bypassing any possible involvement in the inaugural draft. This is probably not supposed to happen.

All this is only an issue if the inaugural draft is enabled, of course. (With the draft off, the game always puts you in charge right on Jan 1st.)

Patch 2, problem is reproducible, etc. etc.

Is the second identity the active one? What is the status of the default identity? Did you assign it a job?

Hmm, I didn't notice that...it's not. The game defaults to the first identity. Incidentally, there seems to be no way to start the game with a different identity than the first-created one. Edit: I guess that might already be fixed in the next patch as part of that whole "Game now remembers the last-used manager" fix...

The default guy was set to unemployed, which ordinarily means the game will stop right at Jan 1st (which it didn't in that case).

Let's see what happens when both are given an ML job...okay, in that case the game stops on Jan 2nd, before the inaugural draft. That's not very surprising, I guess, since it's just an extension to my case 2 above.

#1-3 I think are as designed.

However, 4 is a bug, and I've logged it as TT 2334.
