Schedule request: 2018 MLB schedule, rotating interleague

bchevy · 07-27-2017, 04:59 PM

I saw this was done in 2015 but didn't seem to work in OOTP18 as it gave off days on Sundays (totally kills immersion for me). I would like an MLB-style schedule (162 games, 2 subleagues, etc.) with rotating interleague so I'm not doomed to importing 2015 every third year as this neglects the Red Sox switching playing the Braves/Phillies every other year. If possible I would like day games on Sundays, with the exception of one game simulating the real-life ESPN Sunday night matchup but the one-game thing is relatively unimportant. I am fine with using 2013-17 schedules for the other five years but if you'd like a challenge I'd also appreciate a fictional schedule through 2023. I'd also like it to begin April 1. Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. Might just be my settings but when I imported it it seemed the days of the week were all off. That was the 2015 one I mentioned in my earlier post.

I see what you mean. I started a new historical game from the main OOTP screen for 2016 and loaded the fictional 2016 schedule and the game ignored the preferred starting date of Monday. The actual 2016 schedule starts on Sunday, but I had no way of knowing that when I did these.

If you finagle the settings, you can make the schedule work correctly.

uncheck Force start on a certain weekday
uncheck auto adjust date if matching schedule found
uncheck automatically schedule all-star game.

If that doesn't work, force start the game on the first Monday in April and input whatever date that happens to be in the year you play.

Finally, for the proper interleague matchups to occur, you must set up
your league with teams 1-5 ALE,..... to 26-30 NLW.
Also, the cities within each division must be in alphabetical order.
