using college template and can't play games

goobrr13 · 04-07-2009, 11:24 PM

Hi there,
Just started using this game (version 9) again after a few years hiatus(sp). I am using a college template from Padre's website and have enjoyed updating the logos and setting my lineups/pitching rotation. Now, my problem....it will only let me sim games. I find nowhere for me to actually manage and play a game on the schedule. When I look at the schedule it has no option to manage or play or anything. Is there something in the settings I need to change? Also, the season started around 4 games into the season already.....why? I don't know. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Sounds like you didn't make yourself a manager of a team.

I already manage Virginia (called Commodores incorrectly but quickly changed to Cavaliers). I don't know what I did, but now I do see a manage option for games. I think I told the program to sim to next game? I'm just hoping the next time I fire up ootp it automatically lets me manage the games and not just the manage the team options and lineups. Thanks for your help!
