Create schedule

[miles44]

is there a mod that will allow the creating of the schedule? I've tried the one called Schedule Updater, but that doesn't help create the schedule.

If you want to randomly generate a schedule, there is a mod in the download section.

If you want to edit the schedule yourself, then open up schedule.big and extract mlb162_1.dat. You can open that file using any text editor or just excel to make your changes.

This sounds like a great idea, but I could not find one for a 162 game schedule. Could you maybe provide a link?

Sorry, must have gotten confused. It's a balanced schedule generator; not a random schedule generator.

Edit: It still generates a schedule randomly but the first time around. The same schedules are repeated again the next time you run the program.

well, I used the bigGUI program to export the mlb162_1.dat file from the schedule.big file and then edited this with WORDPAD. I then imported the edited mlb162_1.dat file back into the schedule.big file and compressed it down.

As soon as I tried to go into MVP 2005, it crashed big time. I mean I didn't even get the RTS screen.

Any way, any ideas how I might have screwed this up?

Thankfully, I saved a copy of the SCHEDULE.big file first.

How would I be able to create a balanced inter-league schedule for the 1969 season?

That's a good question. My guess is you would have to do it by hand. Another question would be is why would you want to do this?

I have created my own teams and I'm moving them around to different divisions and leagues etc. Then I want to be able to play every team in my dynasty. I've used the balanced schedule mod on here before but it only works with the 30 team schedule.

Edit it with Excel, not Wordpad...there is a tutorial on the format floating on the site somewhere. I just remember it's relatively easy, just very consuming- 2400 lines to edit. If we broke it down this winter and assigned maybe only a couple hundred lines to several people, the schedule wouldn't be so bad. I'd volunteer for that.

That would be great. I have no idea how to do it.

I have used the balanced schedule in the past and have really enjoyed it. It seems to be the easiest way for Houston to not play a NL Central schedule as of now.

After your first season, Houston reverts to playing a NL Central schedule and it is no longer balanced. I was looking at the balanced schedule generator and it edits 162_1.dat file.

I was wondering if there was a way to create the 162_2.dat and the 162_3.dat file to a balanced schedule as well? That way each season would have teams play a balanced schedule, as opposed to Houston going back to a NL Central schedule.

Thanks for your help.
