File is up. The season will be simmed Monday morning.

[Montreal_GM]

I think I forgot to export.

Now when I try to update the league file it is still saying March 5th. I don't remember previous iterations of the game having this problem.

Other than not exporting, is there something wrong with my setup?

Go to your FOOLX folder and locate the settings folder. Inside the settings folder delete the file named online_league_file_time.cfg. Delete that file and then try loading the league file in game again as you would any other time. Did this help you?

I did get an export for you as well just so you know.

[Montreal_GM]

That worked. Thanks.

As for the export, I thought I hadn't done so because I couldn't believe a couple guys signed for what they did over my offers. I guess 1yr/15Mil is less attractive than 4yr/23Mil, and the same type of scenario for a couple relievers.

Will try not to load up one year deals in the future.

Well, Kev, I am guessing the big one there is Hendricks. I don't recall all the details of my contract offer to him, but I know I offered him $9 M or some such for this season. I guess that was close enough to your $15 M offer for the extra years at a lower price to matter.

It was him. Lesson learned.

That said, it makes the decision that much easier to let my team rest this year and settle for a decent draft pick.
