Football Mogul 20: Historical Schedules

8/25/2019

The Good News

​Football Mogul 20 includes season schedules for all teams from 1951-2019. (The initial launch had some bugs with these schedules, so you should install the patch if you haven't already).

The schedule files use team "nicknames" (e.g. "Raiders" in "Oakland Raiders") to match teams to their schedules. So, if you change the "Oakland Raiders" to the "Las Vegas Raiders", they will still load correctly. However, if you change the "Oakland Raiders" to the "Oakland Pirates", the game will generate a random schedule instead.

The Bad News

Unfortunately, Football Mogul doesn't yet have the automatic expansion feature found in Baseball Mogul. The NFL's messy history of franchise movement, expansion and contraction makes it harder to implement this for football than for baseball — so I'm still working out the bugs.

This means if you start a new game in 1961, the season schedules will be correct until you get to 1966 (when the NFL added the Falcons and the AFL added the Dolphins). On the bright side, if you add the Falcons and Dolphins at the start of 1966 (using the League Editor) the game will load the correct the schedule.

Are you saying that the patch doesn't have the historical schedules? Also, are you saying that there will be a patch (in the future) adding expansion?

The patch DOES have historical schedules but DOESN'T have automatic expansion.

So if you start in 1962 and play into 1966, the 1966 season will use the 1965 schedule — because it's the most recent season that matches your league configuration.

However, if you add the Falcons and Dolphins at the beginning of the 1966 season (before playing any games), Football Mogul will automatically load the correct 1966 schedule.

I can't promise a patch that includes historical expansions. I'd like to get it working, but it may require changes that I can't implement in a patch.

Thanks for the answer. Will you be able to do it in a future release (FM 21) that isn't a patch? Also, while I'm here, I had to download patch 17.02 twice. The first download prevented me from playing. The second download went as it should and I'm able to play. Am I the only one that experienced that problem?

Football Mogul 21 now has historical expansion to go with the historical schedules.

Can one play a league made up of different season teams?
