"Live Start": What did I do wrong?

AdamLindsBeard · 10-20-2021, 10:58 AM

Greetings all - tried to start a new Live Start game last night.

Set it up as GM / Manager for Toronto.

Game loaded with October 19 as the start date. But the team had played 154 games (not 162), and was in the playoffs with a one-game series against the Yankees.

While IRL that would have been a swell outcome, did I do something wrong in the setup?

Sometimes it can happen that the game fails to download some files, and ends up missing some games. It can happen randomly, or if your internet connection blips for a second, or because the internet is weird and will not download files even when we tell it to.

Generally speaking, you should be able to simply run it again, and hopefully it will catch all the files.

Got it! Thanks! Will try again (and will update the thread).

Matt, your assessment was spot-on.
Tried a fresh restart and everything loaded properly.

Thanks again.
