Trouble importing schedule

[Wideright]

Hi all,

I am having trouble importing a custom schedule. I am in the Season Start phase for my upcoming 3rd season. I import a custom schedule and it seems to accept it. I look at the team schedule pages and all looks correct. I save the league at this point.

Then I hit "ADVANCE" to move to the staff signing phase, and the custom schedule disappears, replaced with a generic (or program-generated) schedule which has teams playing each other back to back, too many out-of-division games, and long road stretches for some teams. My custom schedule was much more balanced, so I don't want to use the generic one.

I have tried entering it several times, with several different CSV formats. There is only one format which the program will accept, and again it all looks great until I hit "Advance" and then it gets wiped out and replaced.

Am I missing a step? Has anyone else seen this issue and found an answer to it?

2 years into a full USFL sim and I don't want to restart because of this, but I also don't want to use the CPU-generated schedule again.
