Thanks for all the replies, and your last sounds like some good news (fingers crossed). I take it you were able to replicate the issue?
Anyway, your questions:
First, this is an imported online league - it began using OOTP3 way back in the day. We converted to OOTP 2007 from OOTP 6.5 and ran one full season using OOTP 2007, and we are currently in January of that second season using OOTP 2007.
We had a rookie draft in our first season using OOTP 2007. Originally we tried having a March 1st draft but the "draft pool reveal" logic was not working for us (no draft pools were being revealed), and we figured this was due to all the 'one-time' OOTP 6.5 conversion steps. We settled on a safe June draft and it worked.
We changed this draft date to March 1st a short time after that first year June draft, and we set the reveal date to 75 days. The game ignored that reveal instruction so we set it for 60 days. Again, the game ignored that instruction so we set it for 55 days - that is when the game generated it's first full rookie crop for us, and that was the first week of January. Now, because I test sim ahead to avert new errors, I see that the game will generate a whole new rookie crop at the beginning of February, hence this thread
.
I'm pretty certain I can do the workaround I described above for this season, but it seems to me that this is going to be a regular year by year issue unless some game tweaks are made.
