2025 Offseason Events

BRS13 · 09-11-2023, 05:25 PM

I just finished the 2025 season and there are no offseason events. No arbitration, no free agency period, no awards, no winter meetings, nothing. I tried simulating once to December without saving and time passed with nothing changing. Any advice on how to fix this?

Did the minor leagues properly all end, or are any of them stuck? The league won't roll over until the minors (and any association they're in) complete their season.

Thanks, Matt. I think we're closer to identifying the problem, and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the AFL and DSL schedules. When I started the 2025 season, I realized there were no games scheduled for one of the leagues and the other seemed to be a partial schedule. So I made a schedule manually. Now, both leagues seem to be stuck. When I try to simulate to the end of the playoffs in each league, it takes me to December in MLB and skips all the offseason tasks. I can't seem to close out either league.

I had the problem with low minor league schedules in OOTP 23 as well. I had to manually input schedules in the lower leagues after getting 2-3 years into a franchise. It would tell me I can't automatically generate a schedule after preseason begins, so I'd try it well before any kind of preseason could begin in any league and I'd get the same message.

Aaaand I just realized that I inadvertently saved the season on December 25, 2025, and I'm not sure I'm up for the task of figuring out how to go back in time. Might just bow out of my franchise. I think the scheduling thing is a glitch since I've had it in two consecutive OOTP releases.
