Apparently there was a reason even this would FUBAR everything. Hopefully this is what the asterisks are for on the dev schedule.

We don't need perfection in the game. We don't need a different schedule every year. We just need a little variety. The basics of the real world baseball schedule is repeatable every year. In the month of April and into the first week or so of May the vast majority of the games a team plays is against their division rivals making sure on average you play 3 home and 3 roads games against your rivals. Then for the six weeks or so you play games against other teams in your league as well as throw in some inter-league play. In the middle of the summer you play (on average) 3 more home and 3 more road games against your division rivals. Followed by another round of in league and inter-league games during the dog days of summer and then in the last six weeks of the season you play (on average) three more home and three more road games against your division rivals to end the regular season. This pattern is repeated year after year. We don't need perfection, we don't need a dynamic schedule every year. All we need is variety which can be achieved by reusing the schedules from previous years. The database tables to store a schedule can't be that big. There really isn't that much information that needs to be stored. One week of coding (probably less now that I think about it) and a little testing and it's done. But it's about priorities.

Well maybe they will read this and figure out how to do it, because as they have stated, they have tried but can't get it to work properly.

Hopefully this is the year they figured it out.

Damn, didn't know about that. Hopefully they devoted a decent amount of time to the problem this year. Scheduling is one of those 'little things' that's really a big thing IMO.

Haven't heard anything on that yet. We will probably find out in a week or so.

[T5063]

So has this been confirmed either way?

[MrArlingtonBeach]

Rotating interleague schedules did NOT make it in to The Show 18. Ramone expressed disappointment at this fact, and said that they will try again next year.

[Armor and Sword]

I really thought this was the year.

Oh well. I gotta believe it will be in 19. Keep the faith!

This must be a lot tougher than any of us thought.
