    Online Franchise not simming?

    (Apologies if this is in the wrong place).

    I have been testing an online franchise with a friend, in advance of the OSFM roster drop so now that the roster is out, and we do our REAL franchise, we know what we are doing.

    Unfortunately, during the testing I ran into a small kink, and I'm not sure how to resolve it, or if it can even be resolved.

    At the end of series 7 (in a 40 game season for 30 teams), I'm left with one team (CPU controlled) in a bye, that refuses to simulate.

    I tried advancing the schedule, but it can't resolve the bye. I check back every ten minutes to retry simming the one game, but when I check back again, it's always set back to "bye". I checked for about 2-3 hours, and every time, the exact same result (So I may mistakenly be ruling out server error).

    This is obviously game breaking, as we can't advance the schedule now. Which means we can't test and have to put off the real franchise indefinitely, until we can be sure the thing even works.

    Here are some settings that might be relevant if someone wants to try to recreate the problem:

    Division Type - Divisional
    Number of Teams - 30
    Number of Playoff Teams - 10
    Total Games - 40
    Schedule Type - Series (Manual)

    can you elaborate as to what schedule type you are using for this test franchise? If using Auto that might be your issue not allowing you to advance due to time placed on completing round

      different question...

      I see that there are prospects in the online franchise to be scouted but is there even an amatur draft??

      thanks

            It's Manual, I have to push "Advance Schedule" to go beyond. There's no time limits involved (I set it that way because my friend gets busy a lot, and I don't want to advance the schedule until he's had a chance to play his games).

            Should I be using Auto instead? Is it more reliable?

              If using manual then just make open manual schedule

                Could you explain what the difference is? The interface never did a fantastic job of explaining a lot of the Online Franchise stuff (new to it this year), so it was a bit overwhelming to set up.

                  manual you can play any game at any time on schedule, but with only two of you dont think it would be a problem for you guys to just play series in order. However you will have to sim AI vs AI series along side your games.

                    Yeah, we've been playing like that. I meant Open as opposed to Series (what it is currently set to).

                    As it is, only one series at a time is open to play, would Open allow the rest of the season to be playable at the same time?

                        Was anything decided regarding this issue? We are in series 7 and only the byes will not simulate causing our group not to advance. This isn't a test group, so I wanted to check if anything was found or if it's safe to say the league is doomed.

                        Thanks

                          did you simulate byes via the team schedules or on the game list?

                            I've done both. They have both resulted in reverting back from SIMQUENED to BYES.

                            I've reset a few games and simulated them again with no issue. It appears that the BYES are hung up.

                              could be their servers played a game about an hour ago and it still has yet to process
