I am just going to use a game-generated schedule. I will probably edit it some... to put in some doubleheaders. It looks like teams will play 4-6 times a season against all the teams in its subleague. Come playoff time we'll have some idea of how the teams performed head-to-head during the regular season.
It is a lot of work, but I will continue to do daily game reports, but make them briefer than in the past. I find I just don't enjoy it as much when I do monthly summaries.
During the first year I kept all of the league records myself that the game doesn't keep. I want to continue keeping track of team and individual game records and using them in the game write-ups.
I tried simming a month at a time, but just didn't enjoy it. The AI just doesn't use the relievers and closers like I want it to be. Too many pitchers lose shutouts and complete games when I sim.
Plus I enjoy reading the PBP, too... even though I only do from the 8th inning on most games.
I have just about done everything to start the new season. I used the news stories about expansion to have something going on the dynasty report. Boy, I hate preseason. Too much tedious data entry. Entering all of the team strategy settings really took some time. Setting up all the pinchhitters took some time as well.
The new season should begin in a few days.
Thanks for your interest in the league.
