Offseason not starting the season after expansion of MLB.

willboat75 · 04-25-2021, 08:08 AM

I expanded MLB in November of 2026. Everything was fine and I generated a fictional schedule for 2027. I won the WS with the Reds, but the offseason did not start shortly after. I simulated a month ahead to December 1st and nothing has happened?

How can I fix this? I didn't create a backup, so I'm afraid it might be cooked. At least I won two World Series.

What OOTP version are you running? This should have been fixed in the latest patch.

Yes, this was definitely fixed in the latest patch. If you download and install that, you should be able to go forward with no issues.

I am running 22.3.42, and my online league finished its World Series last night, but has not progressed to the offseason. No expansion/evolution was done. I tried simming into almost December before reverting to the last upload.

If you encountered this bug before installing our latest patch you will need to see if either of the options below resolve your issue.

1-We can turn on commissioner mode and force the game into offseason mode and that will push the issue past and out of the way. This is a manual way to go about doing the fix. The way to do that is to enable commissioner mode by going to your manager options screen. After you check that box on go to the MLB dropdown and select Reports & Info. On that menu select League Events List and on that page add an event. Change the custom event dropdown to Offseason Starts and give it the name Offseason Begins. Save those changes to that custom event and the game will start up the offseason for the MLB league. We do recommend following the 2nd step as well just in case the same issue happens next year.
2-The devs have told me that alternatively, you should be able to simply delete the minors schedule. Our lead dev posted this on our forums about this issue. "Okay, it looks like the game is getting confused because some of the minor leagues have already generated their next years schedules. I think it's doing that due to having run an expansion before the season. We should be able to fix that going forward - for now, I would suggest going into your minor leagues and deleting their schedules, and then I think your MLB league should be able to advance to the offseason like normal."

Thanks
