Spring Training Schedule

[PSUColonel]

I have imported the 2014 schedule, and do have the "schedule spring training" box checked. Is the game not going to schedule these game because I imported the real schedule? It is March 3rd in the game, and so far, no games have been scheduled.

I have used many real schedules and never had a problem. Not sure why your ST had not started yet.

The regular season schedule and the ST schedule have no relationship. The game generates the ST schedule internally. It's possible due to the early start this year that the 2014 schedule has interfered with the ST schedule.

The issue is that the 2014 schedule starts on 3/22, while the game thought it started on 4/6. This would push the spring training start date fifteen days earlier. Because you imported the schedule during a certain fifteen-day span, the game gets confused and doesn't schedule spring training.

Also, with fifteen teams in each subleague, the game can't schedule the same number of spring games for each team even if it schedules games in the first place.

I suppose there is no manual way to do it....and that I am simply out of luck this season?

You could do it manually.

But it is time we had importable ST Scheds.

How many days do you have left in ST? i am doing manual games right now for one of my leagues but it had generated a ST schedule.

Just schedule some games manually takes a min per day, it doesn't have to be perfect. i do my own version of Grapefruit & Cactus for the last 3 seasons.

That's what I am doing...just looking at the actual schedule, and replicating it with the exception of slit squad games.

Wouldn't it be easier just too schedule double-headers?

[PSUColonel]

Yes...good idea

Not sure what happened to your spring training games..I just redid my check and spring training games are scheduled starting Feb 20.
The 2014 schedule auto loaded as it should.
What date did you load in the 2014 schedule???

My exact procedure for testing schedules (All schedules are set to the specific league's default schedule options settings):
1. Put all 2014 schedules in ootp's schedules folder.
2. Auto play the 2013 season to 2014 preseason.
3. Check to make sure schedules auto loaded and if not, I manually load them and check for accuracy.
4. Auto play to start of spring training and check spring training/reg. season scheduled games for accuracy again.
5. If all is well, I release them.
If you do as I do, all should work perfectly.


BTW...since the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game is in Australia this year and ootp doesn't recognize the International date line. Those games should be scheduled in Aussie time. These should be 7:30pm on Sat. Mar. 22 for the first game and 1:00pm on Sun. Mar. 23 for the second game. This is how I'm setting them in the Final 2014 schedules for ootp15.
