Question about customizing schedule IN-GAME

TrueKingPK · 07-09-2008, 09:05 PM

I just would like to know can I edit the games after the computer generates a schedule in the off season. I play a 82 game schedule/3 Game Series but the computer does not set up home and home against the teams in my division and no Inter League Play as well. I just would like to change the existing schedule where I play the teams in my division more often and a couple of Inter-League Series as well.

You can edit your schedule inside the game, but if I recall correctly it's best to make schedule changes during the pre-season part of the game. The in-game editor is found in the Editors section ("Edit League Schedule") of the League Preferences screen. While the editor can get the job done, it's not particularly user-friendly.

Depending on your skills with spreadsheet apps, you may find it easier to export the schedule file and edit it outside the game.

Yes, the schedule editor in OOTP really is not that great. I have learned how to export and edit schedules myself, it's not that hard. It just takes a little time.

I took a whole day to enter a 100 game schedule inside the game. It was time-consuming but not that difficult. A few years later (last year) I edited that same schedule inside of notepad and created schedules for 110, 120, & 130 games. Did all 3 of the mods in about an hour. It was pretty easy.

Thank you for all the assistance. I guess I will give outside scheduling a try.
