Hey, I've been having some problems with the tournament part of creation master.
I've been trying to get the A-league tournaments as realistic as possible. In the A-league there are games played each weekend: always one game on Friday Night, one game on Sunday Afternoon, with other two games spread between Saturday night games, Thursday Night games and second Sunday Afternoon games.
I've been trying to replicate this by playing around with the percentages (a percentage for each day), but whatever I do I can't get it close to realistic. It seems that If I put any day with a higher percentage than any other day (eg. put Sunday on 40%, Friday on 25% with Saturday and Thursday both set to 10%) then all games just end up on Sundays.
The best I've been able to get is to put all days equal, which results in all games being played on Friday Nights for about 4 weeks, then all games being played on Sunday Afteroons for the following 4 weeks, then back to Friday night games for another 4 weeks...
This is annoying, the way it should work is that any given team would have their games played at a variety of times - eg. on a Sunday afternoon, then the next Friday, then the next Saturday Night etc. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Another big problem I've been having is with getting matches played at the right time - There is a pre-season tournament (which is just a simple two groups of 4 then semis and a final) played in July and August. I schedule this tournament so that the group stage goes from Early July to 8th of August. The Semis are then scheduled to be played in the next week and the final a week after that. However in reality there ends up being a two week break between the group stage and the semis - this pushes the start of the Season foward and I end up having to give more time at the end of the season for the season to finish.
I have a similar problem to this when scheduling the playoff (or finals series). It is scheduled so that the semis are played over two weeks, then the final the next week - however in reality the final isn't played untill a couple of weeks after the semis.
Does anyone know the reason this might be happening and/or how to fix it?
One last problem that isn't related to the tournaments, I've set the stadium for one of the teams to "Olympic Style", however in the game they end up playing in "Oval Style". I guess this must be because the stadium is generic, and they are being upgraded to a better stadium - however the stadium they really play in is much more like Olympic Style. What value do I need to change to stop this happening?
Thanks for any answers!
