Doubleheaders?!!?!!?

[jeter6970]

Are doubleheaders scheduled in the game? I have a day where my team and many others are scheduled for 2 games.
The only thing is that there is nothing noted on my schedule in the team reports section that says it is a doubleheader, and I had no idea this was going to happen.
I'm playing the patched version in a historical league using the Lahman Database imported in 1977.

Historically speaking, they're in the game but fictionally I don't think so...

The historical schedule have doubleheaders built-in. If you generate a random schedule, no double header.

As noted, the actual major league schedule for 1977 had lots of scheduled doubleheaders in it. Schedules generated by the game itself will not.

This is one drawback to how the schedules are presented onscreen in the game at the moment. There really ought to be some designation to show there is a doubleheader being played.

As it stands currently you have to scan through the schedule for a given day to see if your team is listed twice (and the games won't be next to each other, they'll be separated depending on how the rest of the games that day fall).

If you want to see for a given major league schedule where the doubleheaders fall, first go to this thread. It contains the historical schedule files for OOTP6. If you download any of the zip files from that thread, in the zip will be a "schedulenotes" text file for that schedule. That notes file will list all the doubleheaders scheduled for that year both in chronological order and for each team individually.

Use that notes file to familiarize yourself with when the doubleheaders are to be played. You do NOT need the actual schedule files however.

So the schedules listed in that thread you gave the link to -- they are included in the game? Because my schedule folder has "major_league_ml_c_19xx.lsdl starting in 1901 until 2005. Or are those schedules just random schedules created by the game just waiting to be used?

And just so it's known I wasn't able to adjust my lineup at all for the doubleheader games. Well, I was able to adjust the lineup, but it went back to the default lineup when I clicked start game. Also whenever I hit the box score tab for the game the game crashed. I guess I'll post this in the tech support forum as well.

Same data but in a different format and with a different file naming convention.

I thought I had seen a crash post patch 1.0.2 when checking the box score of a doubleheader game... but looking further it appears that the new copy of the game I purchased and downloaded Friday night did NOT have the 1.0.2 patch built into it.
