No 1983 season

HuachucaThunder · 07-22-2018, 12:53 AM

So, I am currently in my second fictional season. It began in 1984 and it is 1985. I got this in the news:

Playoffs? No chance for Laramie 9/14/1985

There might have been some flickers of hopes of a playoff birth at some point during the season, but those flickers have been snuffed out. The Laramie Cowboys were officially eliminated from playoff contention today.

This is the 2nd time in a row that the Cowboys have missed the playoffs. Their last playoff appearance was 1983.

Now, the first part of this, I do not have any issues with. The second part is what gets me. "Last playoff appearance in 1983". Where is the hidden history coming from?

Could not find my screenshot folder to include an actual screenshot...

I've seen this as well. In my Random Debut league during the 1963 season, when the Mets were eliminated from the playoffs, it said their last appearance was in 1961.

It probably checks the team history for the last time the "made playoffs" category was not not ticked, which in these cases is the last season before the league began, while it should instead check for the last time they actually made the playoffs.
