Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere - I did search first, but couldn't find anything that specifically referenced this topic.

Invariably I start a current MLB season and then tweak some of the rules/settings to suit my style of play. One thing I've always done is to enable draft pick trading.

In OOTP17 it worked differently than it had previously. Enabling that option allowed picks to be included in trades, but the first season draft wasn't changed. This lead to the unusual situation where I could trade away all my picks for prospects...but then would still have those picks to make in the draft.

This only applied to the first season, after that it reverted to type (i.e. you could trade picks between teams, and those picks would then be with the new team come draft day).

The new behaviour spoiled my enjoyment of the game a little - it seemed slightly illogical to make the option available but then have it only half work at the start of the season. I wondered if this would be the same for OOTP18, or if this option would revert back to how it worked before 17?
