All-Star Game scheduled in March

jokerhusky1129 · 11-12-2023, 06:22 AM

Why is the All Star Game being scheduled for March in my game? Is there any way for a fix to make it regular like February?

Which league are you seeing that in?

Modern NHL, 84 game schedule, not sure if that makes a difference.

I am also seeing this in fictional leagues. Also, in some cases the All Star game is completely skipped. There’s no All Star game in the history, especially when just quickly siming a bunch of seasons.

Yes that's happened too. It seems to just randomly schedule the game.

The 84-game schedule would have regenerated the schedule. We'll check why it's defaulting to such a late date when that happens.

Edit: actually, I just tried it at the start of a new game and the game stayed in early February. Same thing when I regenerate the schedule after the first season. It also seems to be working fine when I try it in a custom league. I think I'm going to need more details on the league setups you guys are seeing this happen with.

I use a two conference 14 teams per conference league (no divisions) 80 game season with 2 inter-conference games per opponent. It will schedule it the first season but then may skip it or schedule it later.

I use the regular NHL 32 teams. 84 game schedule, 3 interdivision games and one interconference.

Is there a way to import a custom schedule with the All Star game as part of the custom schedule?

Okay, I just uploaded to FTP an example of a season where you will see in the All Star history that the last All-Star history shows to games for the last year, although the last game is just a "-" but the game did try to schedule an other game. You will also see some of the dates into February and March. It is uploaded as "BKL All-Star Game Wrong."

I think I figured out the issue. For some reason the schedule being generated does not have an open date sometimes. There was a season that didn’t schedule an All-Star game on July 1, so I exported the schedule and then inserted a day with no games being played in February, then imported the schedule and the All-Star game was scheduled on that exact date. It then worked.

Also, I noticed that the once conference is always set as the Home team each year....and this conference has won 9 of 10 All-Star games....does Home/Away make any difference in the All-Star game?

Interesting, in that save if you regenerate the schedule multiple times, it seems to move the game to a later date each time, and doesn't make a space for it in the schedule at all. That might account for the late dates some of you are seeing, but I suspect there might be multiple layers to the problem. We've got something to go on now, at least.
