limited bug

OOTP5 (no patch yet). I don't think a lot of people would play this way, but it seems to be a bug nonetheless.

I made a quick custom league with only one league (I think it had 2 divisions, but maybe only one..can't remember for sure?). I think I set only about a 50 game seaon. I was just trying to do a test case to learn how the game worked on some issue (such as how do coach skill ratings correlate to experience accumulation).

Anyway, I went to simulate the season. When asked whether I wanted to stop before post-season I said yes (although I guess there wasn't really to be a post-season).

I started the simulation, but the season kept running after all the scheduled games had been completed (I'm assuming it was still simming minor league games, because it was taking a considerable amount of time to progress from one day to the next). I finally stopped the season in late December of the year (the season should have ended in August or something per the schedule). It appeared to me the simulation had run away in some infinite loop. My guess is that it was checking for the playoffs as the exit criteria, but without playoffs that never would happen.

The game is not designed to have a post-season with only "one league" currently.
