11.17 Cannot make selections in draft

[mnstonecold]

I ran a draft in 1992 and it wouldn't let me select 4,5,6 picks. the one I selected came up in the fifth round and the sixth. slight bug

I'm having the same problem but I am not on the updated version yet.

Did the other teams get to make the picks. Maybe there aren't enough historical players available in that year.

the other teams made their picks the thing is when I thought I drafted a guy in the 4th round he came back up in the 5th and I tried again but it didn't draft him. the six round would let me select either. there seems to be plenty of historic guys cuz most are free agents still after the end of the season.

The league that I am running won't recognize any other team but Boston for my amateur draft. :(

I tried all human, commish mode, no commish mode. It just won't take. BTW, this is an 8 team league, but it should still work?

[daves]

No this is NOT the same issue!!!!!!! The draft can be completely done but it won't recognize all the teams. Plus I am using the UPDATED 11.17 version. Please put back on it's seperate post?

I know Clay likes the Red Sox but this is ridiculous.

Do all the teams actually have an abbreviation?

Yes. Here is the mog file.

I believe it has to do with teams being deleted at the beginning of the season. I simmed through the first season upto the 1978 draft and that draft ran correctly. Also, teams only play 10 games when the league settings call for 140. Probably better to start this 8 team league by simming the first season, and contracting unwanted teams after the world series is played but before free agency is started.

I know it is only 8 teams, but why does Boston only receive the picks? Prior to starting the season the draft did work even with 8. I tested it before I started. Despite the # of teams it should still work!

Similar thing happens if you add teams. When you add a team at the beginning of the season, when draft time comes around, draft picks are added for them but the first team listed in the league editor gets the picks. Here the Boston Red Sox are the first team alphabetically in the editor. Why Boston got the picks and nobody else did I don't know but I believe the issue is related.

Work around is to force trade each player to their correct team and maybe a warning could popup when you add or delete teams from a league at the beginning of a season. Not sure how easy this will be to fix, would like to see expansion/contraction buttons added to the league editor screen where a team would be flagged to be added or removed at the correct point in the season.

I see. I have to go to Commish mode to get players on their teams.

This looks to be a real troublesome bug. That is not a good thing.

Thanks Joe!
