Adding New League to Existing Game resets the game to 2014?

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm just doing something wrong.

I'm testing things for a dynasty and encountering an issue.

Game start Date: 2014. It's a standard game with MLB and Mexico with an added AA league for Mexico and a new league with 2 sub league that's unaffiliated and AAA level.
Play out year one. So far so good.

I go into the Wizard to create a new fictional league. Again, 2 sub leagues. The game would not allow me to go into advanced mode when creating the new league. I set it to default to 2014 levels. But for schedule start date, it will only allow 2014.

I tried running with it, then going into options and starting the first game for 2015 but nope it took the whole game back to 2014 on the calendar.

Is this a bug? Are we not allowed to add new leagues after initial set-up (find that hard to believe)? Or did I screw up a setting.

Any help appreciated.

Edit: So i played around a bit, and apparently the culprit is an easy thing to accidentally click: "Select Standard Settings"

That's the thing that turns back the clock, as it were, to 2014. To keep going, you have to leave it blank. There should be a note about this on the wizard page, or at least a way to un-select it. Because here's the evil part: Once you select it, your game reverts to 2014, EVEN IF YOU CANCEL THE CREATION!

At least now I know why it was happening.

This is a bug that I mentioned in the bug report thread. For me the year was being set to whatever default setting I chose. So you went back in time in mine I went 10 years into the future.

The work around until its fixed is to make the league in a new game and then save as a template. Then import the template into your game.
