Question about "Simulate to this date."

Longtimefan · 07-19-2016, 02:48 PM

Yesterday, I finished playing my first MLB game.

Today, I wanted to play my second game, but could not because my team was not scheduled to play today.

When I moused over "Tomorrow," when the next game is scheduled, this message appeared: "Simulate to this date."

As there does not seem to be any game to simulate, what happens if I click "Simulate to this date" (i.e., to tomorrow)?

Further, I am interested in what I have to do to play my second game today.

Click the button - the day will advance. You will then be able to play the next days game.

When you finish playing a game, the day isn't over until you advance.

I just noticed that after following your directions and starting the next game, on the Quick Play menu at the Play screen's bottom, it now says "Leave Game" instead of "Save and Leave." Why did that change?

Screenshot showing what page you're on please. Are you using RTS?, are you actually managing games and playing them out?

I have attached a screenshot.

What is RTS?

RTS = Real Time Sim - it's an option from the schedules/scores page where you view the current days games.

Not sure why you don't have the save option. Try switching to Broadcast View and see if it shows up.

In Broadcast View it was also "Leave Game."

When I completed the first game, at the end I was asked if I wanted to save it and did not. I wonder if that has something to do with why "Save and Leave" is no longer appearing.

If a game is completed, then you no longer have the option to save. That only occurs if you want to leave during a game. Is that what you're doing, leaving once the game is complete?

Completed games are automatically saved, you can go back to any point in the current season and look at boxscores/logs again.

I was leaving during the game.

It seems that "Save and Leave" appears the first time you start a new game. Afterwards, when you re-enter the same game, you see "Leave Game" instead.
