Struggling at the outset

fedfan · 12-07-2020, 03:32 AM

As I started to debut my brand new historical sim, I mistakenly chose Real Time Simulation, which is NOT what I wanted. It is now "paused." My season is four minutes old, and I want to start over. Can I do that somehow?

A few other questions:

1) I want to play all games serially using the play-by-play feature, but I can't find that option on the league schedule page nor other places listing upcoming games. Could this be because I'm in Real Time Simulation? If not, how do I access the play-by-play functionality?

2) Is the manager functionality central to the working of the game? I am planning an eight-team historical simulation, but it appears that I can have only one manager, not the eight real-life guys I would prefer. I have chosen tailored Strategy Presets for each team, so what role does the manager fill if I'm in play-by-play mode controlling both teams?

3) Can I use the play-by-play functionality for any game if I am in the Commissioner Mode? I want to play all games of my league schedule, in solitaire fashion, but the game wants me to start with the latest game of Opening Day--because, I think, my "manager" is currently associated with one of the teams in that game. Can I play 'em all the slow way if I want?

Sorry for the newbie questions, but my eyes are getting bleary from reading the online manual. Thanks!

Do you have a backup? If so, you can start over from there

If not, you can use your task manager to force stop the game and reload it from wherever you last saved

Reference your questions 1&3, when you are ready to play out a game, from the schedule screen you will be taken to that game's set-up screen. From there you have many options, one of which is to allow/not allow "other" games to run while you are playing that particular game. Check, or uncheck that box according to your wishes.
