The reason I ask this is because this date may conflict with historical schedules. A 10 team league using 3 game series an All-star game and 162 games will end on 9/22. This is the date that is reported in the off-season activities. Schedules nearly always went upto if not into October.
So sorry for the hideously slow response to this thread. I'm trying to keep up with the post 1.0.2 stuff while pecking away at these older threads as well.

My understanding is that your assumption is correct - the season ending date is only important for determining the playoffs and off-season schedule.

That date is driven by your schedule, and not the other way around. If you are using one of the XML schedules that come with the game, I don't believe there should be an issue. Anyway, let me know if you have further questions about this.

Thanks,

Steve
