OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Has Anyone Done a 50-Team Preseason Tournament?

Taking an idea from the big tournament that North American soccer has (MLS and the Mexican league), I decided to get rid of spring training for the upcoming season and have a big tournament for all 50 teams in the North American, South American, Asian, and European leagues in my game.

Ideally, I would like to do this in the middle of my regular season, as the real-life soccer does. But futzing around with the schedule in OOTP baseball is challenging enough, so I just decided to do the tournament before the season.

All I've done so far is set up the teams and brackets. It's November in my game, and the "Nike Spring Classic" is scheduled to take place in March.
The tournament is divided into five 10-team pools, with teams from all leagues. Each team is scheduled to play their pool opponents twice, for a total of 18 games.

I don't know if the tournament feature will support this many teams, or the format I have, so I wanted to see if anyone else has done something similar.
