Game will not detect end of playoffs and start offseason

After expanding my MLB league by two teams the following season the playoffs will not end. It is just continuing to sim as it would during the offseason.

We did discover that there is a bug that's causing the offseason begins event to not get summoned by the game. There are two ways you can go about fixing that and correcting that issue while we get it patched out for future saves and any new leagues you start up.

1-We can turn on commissioner mode and force the game into offseason mode and that will push the issue past and out of the way. This is a manual way to go about doing the fix. The way to do that is to enable commissioner mode by going to your manager options screen. After you check that box on go to the MLB dropdown and select Reports & Info. On that menu select League Events List and on that page add an event. Change the custom event dropdown to Offseason Starts and give it the name Offseason Begins. Save those changes to that custom event and the game will start up the offseason for the MLB league. We do recommend following the 2nd step as well just in case the same issue happens next year.
2-The devs have told me that alternatively, you should be able to simply delete the minors schedule. Our lead dev posted this on our forums about this issue. "Okay, it looks like the game is getting confused because some of the minor leagues have already generated their next years schedules. I think it's doing that due to having run an expansion before the season. We should be able to fix that going forward - for now, I would suggest going into your minor leagues and deleting their schedules, and then I think your MLB league should be able to advance to the offseason like normal."

Thanks

So if you start in Challenge Mode, there's nothing you can do? I guess that's the end of ever thinking Challenge Mode is worth it.
