Team Records have been corrupted mid-season

[Kasper Hernandez]

Here's what I mean by the title:

I was running a fictional league in 22, but a corrupted save forced me to import it to 23 to save as much progress as I could. At a certain point afterward, I noticed that the team records do not reflect the actual wins and losses that each team had over the regular season.

More specifically, somehow, the game has added 7 more games to each team's record, spreading the wins and losses of those 7 games seemingly at random.

For example, here is one team, Midtown, from the standings page:

At 34-27, the game is saying that Midtown is in 5th place after playing 61 games. In reality, only 54 games out of a 65-game season have been played, and Midtown in fact has won 27 games and lost 27 games.

The true team records are reflected in the scores page:


And the past standings page (this is from one day before current game day. Today's games have not been played):

If this was just cosmetic, I wouldn't care, but the game calculates playoff-positioning based on the standings page. The problem comes from the fact the game has not changed each team's record in an equal way. You can see in the past standings screenshot that Midtown is actually tied with Turlock at 27-27. However, the game has, for some reason, given Midtown 7 full victories out of nowhere to bump their "record" to 34-27, while for Turlock, it has taken 4 victories away from their record and given them 11 more losses to put them at 23-38.



Which puts them at 12th place in a 14-team league and mathematically out of the playoffs with 11 games to go.

Obviously, this has completely ruined the integrity of this game year's results if it can't be fixed, which is a bummer to say the least. I have never seen an occurrence of a problem like this ever reported on these forums or elsewhere and I at a lost for what to do. If it's possible to simply edit the team records and move on, I would be fine with that. If there is a technical explanation and fix, I would like to learn what that is.

Thank you.

It's always best to move to a new version of OOTP in the offseason but it appears you had no choice given the corrupted save. I presume it's some sort of corruption issue rather than an in-game bug. If you go to the team's schedule page (the calendar one) and manually add up the W & L's what does it align to? Did the move to OOTP have you land on the same day? Maybe it set you back to a previous restore point for some things but not others? How many games were in Spring Training? Could it be counting those? Just trying to get more info in case a developer can identify the disconnect.

If I were commissioner of the league where this happened, I might expand the playoffs as an offset and plow through.

I fortunately did do all the checks you said here before I made the post. Spring training had nothing to do with it. Adding up W's and L's based on Team Schedule gives the same total as the Scores and Past Standings page.

It is almost certainly a corruption problem. The move to 23 had the game move back about 10 days (7 games, hmm), to the end of last month, where I had autosave on. It doesn't seem there's much to do other than just plow forward and let the game reset everything in the offseason.
