Rule 5 Delayed

dorseyfurcal · 05-04-2016, 10:20 AM

Whenever I finish a season in any quickstart, the Rule 5 draft moves from 12/1 of that season to the next year and doesn't occur. When the next season finishes, the same thing continues to happen so I've yet to actually have a Rule 5 draft. While it's nice to not have to protect my best prospects

, it's a bit annoying and weird.

You can go into the settings and manually reschedule the Rule 5 draft.

Didn't actually know you could change the year on that, thanks! Still a bug though that may be affecting other people

Yes, must be a bug, because it schedules and has the Rule 5 draft for the first season when setting up a game in the new standard league, but then the draft stops occurring, although shows on the schedule. Did not do this in earlier versions of 17, so I am guessing something got tweaked in one of the last two updates that affected the initiation of the draft.

It looks like the problem is that when the game schedules the rule 5 draft, it doesn't set the year. For me the year field was blank. I just went in to the settings and set the year and it is scheduled correctly now.
