Schedule editor
ZenGM now has a schedule editor! I resisted adding this for a long time because it's pretty cumbersome to edit a schedule. In a default BBGM league, there are 1230 games each season, good luck manually specifying them!
But there are other situations where it might make some more sense:
- You just want to make a small tweak to the schedule
- In FBGM there are many fewer games
- In custom leagues you might have a small number of teams or games
Ultimately, it should be up to you what you want to do with the schedule. And now it is. Here's what it looks like:
Group regular season schedule into MLB-like 3/4 game series
When developing ZenGM Baseball last year, there were a bunch of things I wanted to do but decided to leave for later. Can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good! One of those was the regular season schedule. In baseball, due to the large number of games with few days off resulting in the need to minimize travel, teams usually play 3-4 games against the same opponent, which is called a "series".
In the initial release of ZenGM Baseball, there were no series, games were randomly ordered just like the other sports. Now that is changed - there is a new setting called "Group Games Into Series" that is enabled by default in ZenGM Baseball, so it will apply for future seasons in all leagues unless you disable it. (For other sports it's disabled by default, but you can enable it if you want a baseball-like schedule.)
The end result is the schedule looks more like a baseball schedule:
That's the general idea. Read on for all the details, if you're curious.
