Altering draft order

mdtwnkfey · 06-17-2016, 09:02 PM

First thing's first: a huge THANK YOU for mirroring the real life MLB draft order in game, including the supplemental and competitive balance rounds. This was always one of my most desired additions into the game and it's so great to finally have it!

I'll preface this by stating that there is a minor error in the first round order. Texas is drafting 19 and 30, but their position is actually only 30. Also Washington had back-to-back picks at 28 and 29. I manually moved up the Mets, Yankees, etc. all the way to the O's up one spot. This was a pretty easy fix because everything else was in the correct order, so I didn't mind.

I understand that Detroit did not have a 3rd round pick in this year's draft (anyone know why?) That's reflected in-game in the 3rd round order. But the issue is: in the game, Texas does not have a 3rd rounder either, when they did IRL. See attached image.

I thought this may have been because I moved Texas around in the first round, but that is not the case: I started a new game and simmed right up to the draft, did not mess with the first round order, and Texas didn't have a 3rd round pick in that game either. In both games, round 4 (and onward) are correct, as far as I can tell.

I'm guessing it's just a line missing from some file I haven't found yet. Can I alter this so 1) Texas gets its round 3 pick and 2) the numbers are sequential? Since as you see, SD is listed as having the 9th pick in the round when they actually have the 8th, and so on.

Should I put this in the bug forum too?

Okay, was able to fix this once I found "draft.csv". Round 3 has "no team" listed at pick no. 8 and the Cardinals are not listed at pick no. 29. Pretty easy fix. Hope the roster team or whoever can make the fix for subsequent patches sees this.

They lost their second round pick for signing Jordan Zimmerman and their third round pick for signing Justin Upton.
