Expansion Minor League Schedules

kingne10 · 03-18-2020, 05:58 AM

When expanding the league, if you change the minor league for any of your teams, it does not create a schedule for your team. For example, the default league for the AA teams was the Texas League. I changed it to the Southern League, The expansion minor league teams did not have a schedule for the year. If I had caught it, I could have manually created one, but shouldn't the new Expansion process take care of this?

Did you change the league in the wizard or after?

When did you do the expansion (in game date)?

Whenever the structure of a league is changed you have to generate a new schedule. If teams don't have games scheduled check the schedule options for that league. I had this problem once and whether the schedule was balanced or not was the issue. Making the schedule balanced or unbalanced, I forgot which one, solved the problem.

I figured the wizard would create a new schedule for the leagues I added to. The divisions were balanced and the expansion was created during the pre-season. If they aren't going to create the schedules, maybe they can add a reminder to update the schedule so a season doesn't go by without any games added.

I noticed the same thing today. I started a new MLB league (standard league), added two teams via expansion, and made no changes to the destinations of the minor league teams. I added the teams before starting, but in the new league this was post-spring training (3/26/2020).

With creation of minor league teams part of the wizard (great addition!), I just assumed schedules would be updated to reflect the new teams. I edited the MLB league structure, so I manually updated the MLB schedule. I just never gave the minor league schedules a thought. I was in mid-April before I realized my higher-level teams were not playing, and by then it was too late to do something about it.

This may be due to the timing of adding the teams. I have seen no issue in 20 plus tests when adding teams at the start of the offseason.
