Expansion team crashing!

AgentX · 01-21-2002, 10:30 PM

Hi, I am sure this has probably been covered before, but I have been runninga custom league for 10 seasons. The folowing season I added some expansion teams. Free agents were signed, players were drafted. But when I generated a schedule, the game crashes. No error message. Just poof! Gone! I have tried a few different things, but to no avail, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

BTW - I am running a k6-2 500mhz. 386ram, vd3 video card. Win 98se

I'm sure others will respond here too but I guess I'd first double check that the leagues have a correct amount of teams. It used to happen that the game would allow the user to attempt to generate an impossible schedule and the game would churn away at the point you are describing. An example of something that would not work schedule-wise is adding 1 expansion team to each league. If this is not it I would also double check that you have plenty of HD room in case a previous crash caused an oversized schedule file (they can get massive). Let us know if this was helpful.

Do the expansion teams have at least 25 major league players on their roster? The game will crash if it doesn't have at least 25 players in each organization.

There must be an even number of teams in each league or else the game will crash (this is what Killebrew was referring too).

Finally check this <a href="http://www.ootpbb.com/board/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000008&p=" target="_blank">FAQ</a>. It details the process of adding expansion teams to custom leagues, I've been told it works almost perfectly (which of course made me smile

).

If you have any further questions on expansion feel free to ask, either myself or one of the older more wiser players will answer.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Thanks for the help. After further investigation, i found that is what i had done. I had added 1 team to each division giving me a total of 15 in each. The schedule has a hard time of giving teams off on different days (everybody always has the same day off). So this was my problem. Again, thank for the help.
