Schedule Editing

DirkGildun · 10-03-2015, 04:09 PM

Because of the somewhat bizarre schedules being created for the custom league configurations, there needs to be enough of a Schedule Editor to be able to delete and add games by date. That would allow, somewhat tediously I know, to generate league schedules that make sense.

Down the road, there should be the ability to import schedules.

Thanks!

Importing schedules might actually be easier to do, aside from needing some error-checking built into it. That'd allow the hand-editing to be done in something a little more efficient for that job, like a spreadsheet or text editor.

I agree. I'm obsessed with having schedules that have a balanced division or conference schedule. Would love the ability to import or create a schedule like that.

Is this (schedule editing and/or importing) on the list for a future update? I really need this so that a custom fictional league schedule is reasonable.

Thanks!

How unreasonable is the schedule?????? In what way?

I thought they streamlined these fictional leagues... so the schedules should already be reasonable,....

I have a fictional league, but haven't done any kind of assessment or schedule study..... what's the matter?

I tried to create an 8-team league (0 Divisions, 0 Conferences), and that configuration had a 78-game schedule. This makes no sense -- at best, each team is playing 1 of the other teams 1 extra time.

When I created a test league, I immediately noticed that my team had a schedule where it was playing 1 team 12 times (8 at home and 4 on the road).

If we had a Schedule Editor, I could manually delete and add games to even things out. It's very tedious, but I've done that with another PC hockey game where I created a 42-game schedule (3 at home and 3 on the road vs. the other 7 teams).

At a bare minimum, the 8-team league configuration should have an 84-game schedule (6 at home and 6 away vs. the other 7 teams). But there are several other custom league configurations with odd/uneven schedules also.

As Jeff states above, it would be even better if there was a Schedule Import function.

Bump to get an answer whether or not this will be in a future update to FHM 2.

Thanks!
