Im new to this, so excuse my ignorance. i'd like to try managing one of my simleague games live...but i never know when it is going to start, so how do i do that? is there a notifcation i can set when my game is going to start? do i sign in to the live app and leave the window open, and when the game starts it will come up? guess?
can someone help me out here?
thanks

there's start times to these the early game in the afternoon is like 11:59 am est second game 4:59 pm est third game 11:59 est pm the games end as far as sim goes the first game ends or posts score around 1:38 pm est in between 11:59 am and 1:38 pm that is the time the game is simming and the like for the other games.  When you simlive you have to be in the simlive venue room 1 2 or 3 you need to be in there with your opponent if you want to sim the game.  you should be able to find your opponent in the chalenge menu get in room like ten or fifteen minutes before start of your sim game hope this helps gl

In basic open leagues, you can only play the upcoming series live and there are not a lot of other people in those leagues who play live. You may be able to play some of those games live if you contact owners ahead of time, especially if you notice which owners occasionally play live by looking at your league standings page and seeing whether anyone shows up as "ON." You can post a message on the league standings page asking whether anyone would play some live games when they come up on the schedule.

You can usually find live players more than willing to play some exhibition games with you so you can try out the live feature. Log into the live program and just post a message that you want to give live a try, and someone will likely be willing to play an exhibition game with you. The first time you play a live game, it can be a little frustrating figuring out how to make or accept a challenge, but anyone who is online will be able to help out. You can also try it out yourself by going into one of the "Open Play" rooms and playing against the computer. (The SimLeague Venue is where scheduled league games are played; Open Play is for exhibition games, in which you can use a team you created or any team from MLB history).

If there's a specific time you know you'll be on and looking to try an exhibition game, post that here and chances are someone will be able to get on and walk you through the steps to play.

Not sure exactly what jpoulos is getting at, but if you are playing scheduled league games, they just have to be in the current or immediately upcoming series. For example, the 11/15 a.m. game, which would sim around 1:25 a.m. 11/15, could be played any time after the 11/14 p.m. game sims (around 6:25 11/14).

If you join a live league, you can play as many games as you want at anytime provided that you opponent is also online, which if you joined a live league would happen way more than in a regular sim league.

Also, some basic information on how to use the Live game / basic features was put together by a former user in this pair of youtube videos:

Hope to see you in some live leagues!
