Live Start problem

seven · 04-01-2021, 10:03 PM

I tried Live Start (using Build 34) for the first time today, after a couple of real MLB games had been completed. After the game was set up, I checked the standings page, which is also set up to show the leader boards. All teams still had zeros for W and L, but the leaderboards were populated with data from the two actual games (e.g., Cabrera had a HR for the Tigers). I pressed the Continue button to finish the day and a new simulated result for all 15 opening day games was generated. So now, all teams have one game played, but the stats for the players involved in those first two real games are based on two games (the real game that was played and the extra simulation game that was played).

Is this a core problem with Live Start or was it a mistake to start the game in the middle of the day when games were still being played?

During the day, there's certainly a chance of data being out of sync. The game results and player stats come from different feeds, so always a chance one gets updated before the other does.

Thanks! I was planning to test this by doing another Live Start Friday AM before any games begin.
