Need help playing this game!!!

GamerBob · 10-07-2020, 03:17 PM

I've set up a Franchise All-Star League.
Every time I want to PLAY a game it says there's NO GAMES SCHEDULED on that day.??? I'm in control of ALL the teams, but I can't figure out how to actually PLAY any game of my choice, with any teams?

I also don't want ANY games to be auto-played (simulated). I want to play them ALL.

I've been struggling mightily with OOTP, which appears to be a terrific game, but I need help that isn't answered in the manual (??)

Thanks!!!

if you created your league rather than used one out of the box already created- you need to create a schedule for it. i'm not at my game computer - but if you created the league, on the league creation page, there's a box to edit the teams, to move them, etc. click on it and on the page that comes up on far right is a box that says generate schedule. you need to do all that in the offseason most of the time, but it might work if you just try to generate a schedule - haven't tried it in a long time, so not certain it still works in 21. it's the only thing i could think of that might help... good luck.

All of my created leagues already have a schedule.

However, the creation date is in January, which is four months before the season begins. If that is the case, you will need to simulate to the beginning of the season (or spring training) before there will be any games to play.
