Issue with out-of-the-box 2025 MLB schedule in OOTP 26

cheo25 · 03-11-2025, 05:13 PM

The schedules for the Astros, Athletics and Angels are all mixed up in OOTP 26 when you start a standard MLB game.

The Astros open at the White Sox in the game, but IRL, they are at home against the Mets before hosting the Giants in the next series. They appear to have what should be the Angels' schedule.

The Athletics open at home against the Mets in the game and host the Giants in the next series, but IRL, they open at Seattle before hosting the Cubs in the next series. They appear to have what should be the Astros' schedule.

The Angels open at Seattle in the game and host the Cubs in the next series, but IRL, they open at the White Sox and then travel to St. Louis for the next series. They appear to have what should be the Athletics' schedule.

One other note: In the Mets' opening series at the Athletics (which should be at the Astros), there is an off-day on Friday. But IRL, that off-day was moved from Friday to Sunday some time during the offseason. The Mets-Astros RL series in Houston is Thursday/Friday/Saturday to open the season with an off-day Sunday, March 30.

Thanks, we'll fix the Astros, Athletics and Angels stuff up.

I think I know why this would've happened (has to do with the Athletics name change and how the teams are identified in the file).

Thanks, Lukas. I figured that was the culprit.

The schedule always has issues out of the box, and it seems to involve the AL West most of the time.

Same issue with the Cubs schedule its @Arizonia @Angels when its the A's in the Angels place.

I think I fixed this up now, can someone try loading this in game and see if it looks right for them? Thanks!

It's still off, and still showing what I reported. I took your schedule and put it in the OOTP 26 schedules folder, created a new Standard Game and got the same result.

That will not actually re-load the file. You need to actually import it in the game/save itself too. Sorry, should have explained that.

Started a new standard game, and it was still off. Imported the schedule, and now it's good. So thanks for correcting it.

But isn't the issue really that it's still going to be off for anyone that creates a standard MLB game? Why is still off when a standard MLB game is created and why would we have to go the extra step of importing the schedule?

Cool, thanks!

No worries, it'll be fine in a new build since the schedule will have been pre-loaded in the world template

OK. Thanks for all of your help, Lukas. I appreciate it.
