Live Start after season end

Orcin · 12-03-2020, 10:36 AM

I started a game today to see how it works. A couple of things are puzzling.

1. Most teams start the 2020-21 offseason with negative cash of $9.5 million. Obviously, this is a constraint on budget room. Is this intended or a bug?

2. How do I get the schedule back to 162 games for 2021? Do I just change the number of games and generate a fictional schedule, or is there an automated option to correct this that I am missing.

Otherwise, most things look good and I think this could be a fun way to play.

I just started a league like this as well. As far as the cash situation, I don't have any answers for you. But for the season schedule, don't worry about editing it. It changes itself automatically once you get into the 2021 pre-season.

One thing I noticed about this live start option that is a problem is it appears to really have messed with the player's service time and arbitration eligibility. There are some player's who's service time is off by as much as a couple of years. But they show the correct service time in the regular 2020 quickstart.
