Oh, no!! Glitch kills playoffs?

Just finished the 2016 season, my first with iOOTP12 since importing the game I started with iOOTP11.

I knew something strange was going on when a 163rd game appeared. I played it out since it seemed like I had no choice. When I went to adjust my roster back to 25 players for the playoffs, odd things happened when I pressed various buttons. Sometimes they didn't work, others took me to the wrong page. Then, on Oct. 1, I get this message:

"The playoffs are underway! Unfortunately, you did not qualify."

This might have been my best Cardinals team ever, leading from wire to wire in a cakewalk. When I go to the schedule, it shows the Wild Card games on 10/01 but nothing further. I don't know what to do next. Guess I could play the Wild Card games and see what happens next, but following the First Rule of Holes, I've decided to stop digging.

I do have the saved game I imported from iOOTP11 on my computer, but that would mean replaying the entire 2016 season. Not the worst of prospects, since my team is so good and fun to play. But it would certainly put a big warp in the immersion factor.

Oh well, I'll just have to watch REAL (a relative term) playoff baseball for the time being. Go O's!
