FHM10 - Minor leagues disappeared?

jobdarin · 10-27-2024, 05:35 PM

I have been playing this historical save since like 2006/07, and it has been completely normal up until this past season. This season, there was no minor league teams, no farm teams, and everyone was forced to use reserve lists. I haven't edited any leagues or anything, the only thing different to normal that I've done is add a bunch of my own Be-A-Pro characters from the NHL games. The save is in the FTP under "Just Like The White Winged Dove.lg.zip". Thank you Jeff (or whoever looks at it!!) I appreciate your help very very much!!!

That's the changeover in the historical game when you reach the first "current" season - the game basically switches to fictional mode at that point since there's no more historical data to use. The generic minor leagues go inactive, and the teams switch to using their reserve list.

Thank you very much for the reply, Jeff! So could I then go and add the minor league teams back manually on July 1st? And is there a specific reason why it does that instead of just keeping the status quo?

I think you would need to turn Historical League Editing on in Manager Options, and uncheck the Team Deactivation and Team Activation options. (But that may not work at this point if the league is deactivated, and it probably is - you would need to go back to before July 1, 2023 and then also uncheck League Deactivation.) The game checks for changes to the teams/leagues every year, and if one isn't present in the data (except for playable leagues), it'll get shut off. Changing those options should prevent that from happening, so you won't have to re-add them after every year.
