Challenge Mode + Steam Users

Is the Challenge Mode working properly for Steam users?

I have put ~14 hrs into the game since being released on Steam and my challenge profile is not showing anything (all zeroes). I am signed in within the game, completed 2 seasons, and earned 7 achievements. Challenge hasn't updated any of this. Not sure if its a bug or I'm missing something, hence why I'm discussing here.

Any help is appreciated.

I can confirm that Challenge mode is working for me - Mac Steam version.

Are you possibly simming your games and not managing them directly? You must actively manage a certain number of at bats before unlocking achievements in each game. (Not trying to state the obvious but leaving no stone unturned...)

I can't get signed in on the game to do challenge mode. Keeps telling me my username and password is wrong, yet I can login here.

It's a different un and pw on a different server than the forums. You'll need to create an entirely new account for Challenge Mode.

Really - you can 100% sim through games and unlock challenge mode achievements? My game says you need to manage 20 plays before unlocking in game achievments.

I've been getting achievements by playing through the first inning and then simming, but it seems spotty.

I can't say I play ootp for teh in game experience, it's more about the season management and team building/dynasty building that has me hooked. If we have to play through games for the off chance that things unlock... ...well that's just not going to happen.

So I logged out of challenge mode, re-logged in and started a new season. It seems to be working now.

Not all achievements can be unlocked by simming a game. Stuff like 15k's in a game need to be done while in an actual game.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but where do I log in to even play Challenge Mode?

At the top of the start (main) screen in game.

I think, although I'm not positive, that for in-game achievements all you need to do is actually enter the game, and then you can just sim the whole thing using the sim options on the bottom and get any applicable in-game achievements for that game.

That being said, it does appear a few achievements are a tad bugged.

I'm in the start screen.....on the top right it says "Could not connect to the online services!" but I don't see anywhere else to log in or sign on. Any hints?

Well, that's a bug

Where you see "Could not connect to the online services!" is where the sign in option should be.

Can you try shutting down any other programs you may be running at the same time as OOTP (including your anti-virus) and let me know if you see the options show up then?

I'm a Steam user, when I first tried to log in Challenge Mode, I had to quit OOTP and restart it. Once I did this, the spot to log in was there and I was able to do so. Seems to me, if you log in right when you start the game without doing anything else, the log in is active. If you play another league or such, the login requires a restart.
