Doubleheader issues

[damonrusst]

So I've noticed a few issues with doubleheaders, listed below

- They don't show up on the schedule screen from the team main page.

- when your scout gives you the report on upcoming opponents, if a doubleheader is on the schedule, they say the series is one game shorter than it actually is. They ignore the doubleheader.

- The projected pitching matchups show the same pitchers starting each game of the doubleheader.

These are minor issues but would love to see them fixed in the next version. If you're not paying close attention, it's easy to miss doubleheaders as a result.

This is all with 8.0.0.13

1. Known issue. Not sure of whether the screen can dynamically handle fitting multiple matches into one box

2. I'll check on Bugzilla for that one and check it out. If that's reporting one less match, you'd expect a series with a rest day in the middle of it to report one more match than needed.

3. It does, but as soon as the first match is played, the pitching matchup for the second match changes. It's not quite the same as mlb.com's Probable Pitchers - it's almost as if OOTP is guaranteeing who the starter will be and it sees Team A playing and says next SP in the rotation is Joe Bloggs, so it puts that against the matchups for Team A.

The whole area of the game surrounding double-headers and the like needs to be looked at to alleviate some of these issues and make things look correct. In general, double-headers do run correctly, you won't see many players from the bullpen pitch in both games for example.

Actually, I just had another series come up. It's scheduled for four games over three days, with a doubleheader on the middle day. Just got my report from my scout, briefing me on our upcoming "one game" series.

I'll post again if he sends me another report mid series.

So my next scouting report reported a 3 game series, including the doubleheader. But the stadium changed from the away park to my home park, even though we were still playing the same team.
