There are some here that are much more analytical and efficient in their research processes than I and understanding that I am interested in what or how some are doing to develop their universes.

I am trying to determine the exact relationship between various csv files. So to atart I have taken the following, simple, approach.

- determine my league structure: 16/4/16. Intent for this one is to sim the future spring league next year. Here I set the exhibtion games to 0.

- I deleted everything in the team_info file except for the information needed for these teams.

- I deleted everything in the league_info file except fot the information needed for this league format.

- I did not alter the schedule file.

- I reviewed my UFL_info file used during league construction.

First run:

- league format is fine, teams aligned, locations in place. The financial summary is pretty much aligned with a league year one CAP of $60M.

- The top compensation page shows the highest players are recieving $750k. Higher then I wanted but it's Ok. Still there is something off, see the note below on team CAP cost.

- The brand screen shows a reasonable result for this financial setting, the high being $13M, the low $5M.

- Negative: The stadium format data didn't take. Still don't know why.

- Negative: Ticket prices for a league with this CAP structure are way high and completely undoable to sustain it.

- CAP report. To be expected, every team is slightly over the CAP but by a reasonable amount. I'm sure this will be corrected as the season plays out.

- Negative: The schedule. For this league format I set the, and based of the actual league, I set the season to NOT have any exhibition games. Here thoug hare two things that are screwed up. 1st - the game still formatted having exhibition games BUT it did so by adding these games and altered the overall structure. See the pic below. I totally have no idea why yet other than the schedule file needs to be altered. That's next.

- Team CAP cost. An interesting result. Each teams CAP cost is identical. I mean exactly the same. The high, $590K down to a low of $50k. Now when I say exactly the same I mean exactly. The same numbers of players have the same CAP cost on each of the 16 teams and the 53 players that were created during a preference draft. A problem? I don't think so and assume this will change next season.

- Staff salaries are in line with what I set.

Ok, I am off now to redo the schedule file and check the others to again try and determine why the stadium structures are not being appled.

Ok, first update. Started modding hte associated schedule and made progress. The exhibition games were eliminated and the schedule screeen issues appears to have been corrected. Challenge now is to identify the specific team to the division team number it is aligned with on the schedule. I need this to validate thye generated schedule and have already identified at least one issue.

Next, as I was modding the schedule I did find errors in this specific schedule where teams had been aassiged twice in a few weeks. I dis a quck adjustment but just as above need to verify these in the leagues schedules.
