Some related info about this bug:
- We did not change the draft date - it was set to March 1st in the previous season.
- It seems to me this error is related to either the early draft date or some flakiness with the draft reveal date logic - I've noticed in past test leagues that there were several issues with the reveal date game logic.
- The games second creation of rookies is not duplicate rookie players - it's all new rookie players, which actually makes manual 'clean-up' a lot more arduous. In my searches I found some duplicate rookie bug threads but I don't believe this bug is related to that one.
Update: I also found a major time saving bug workaround for users who might have searched this forum for this error. The workaround is a little convoluted so complete these steps cautiously, and you may want to create a test league copy of your master league and try these steps in the test league first. It appears that the game might default to generating the draft pool 1 month before the draft regardless of the user selected 'reveal date' (at least for drafts scheduled in March), so when you're about 33 days away from your March draft date change the draft date to late in the season and the 'reveal date' to the lowest selection (5 days I believe). Sim to the day before your March 1st draft date (February 28 or 29), change your draft date back to March 1st, then sim one day and you get your draft with the correct players. I still have to test a bit to make sure a second batch of rookies does not get generated at any other point in the season, but right now this workaround looks like it might save me dozens of hours (!) of fix-up work.
