I'm afraid getting individual matchups against an opponent balanced between home and away games is simply not going to happen with a schedule generator, particularly with an asymmetric setup like 5-6-5. If you sat down to try and do it by hand and found it difficult, programming a utility to do is even more so.

For what it's worth, MLB doesn't have even home-away splits against individual opponents anymore either for the most part. You'll see things like 16 games split 9-7 or 7-9, or 10 games split 7-3 or 3-7, etc. (These kinds of things are done to eliminate as two-game series from the schedule as possible - MLB hates two-game series.)

All the schedules in the Mods section of the OOTP6/6.5 forums contain lots of schedules for that earlier version. They will all eventually be converted over for use. Someone has already gotten the jump on that by creating their own utility to convert the OOTP6/6.5 CSV schedule files into the format used by OOTP2006. It appears to be working well so far.

You can read about it in this thread: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=121664

So, you can either try the above and convert an OOTP6/6.5 schedule file over, or, stick with league alignments and schedule lengths which have actually been used by MLB over the years. That way you'll have real-world schedules you can import and use.
