schedule problem

[beltre13]

ok i was doing a historical league starting in 1901, i made the schedule 140 games, when i got to around 1907 or so (dont remember exact year) i changed the schedule to have 154 games. but when i did this, it totally screwed up the schedule. for some reason right after opening day the playoffs started, then right after the world series, more games appeared on the schedule. how do i fix this problem, so i dont have to give a 162 game schedule to my league in 1901

In historical leagues, by default the game will automatically use the actual major league schedule for that year when possible. The only setting you really need to have correctly entered is the schedule length. This is 140 games for 1901-1903, 154 games for 1904-1960, and 162 games for 1961-present. It also helps to make sure that interleague is set to "No" and that "Balanced" is selected for the schedule type for the aforementioned years.

By changing the schedule length in the wrong year, you've confused the game about what schedule it is supposed to be using for your historical league. You should also only change schedule options during the pre-season period.

What exactly do you mean by that? What did you do and at what point (preseason, offseason, etc)?

i changed the amount of games from 140 to 154 before the 1904 season. i believe i did it in the offseason
