Draft Class Size

Anyone else having trouble with draft classes not coming out the right size?
I have an 18-team league set to give me 5 rounds worth of players, but instead of getting 90 as ordered, each time I try the game gives me 135 for this year alone.

With the expanded draft classes that we have added in, you will often have cases where you have more returning players from previous years than is required according to your settings, so in that case, you will have an excess of players. The game does not remove players from draft pools if you have too many.

So what you're saying is that the game is implying an extra 45 players as returnees along with the 90 requested? And the next year I should see only 90 new players, plus returnees? (This is the first season I am playing under the new draft rules).

Thanks.

It depends exactly on your league setup, too. If you're using feeders, then the number of eligible players will depend on how your exact feeder league setup. And if you're not, then it will still vary a little year to year.

I'm without feeders, so I should expect numbers slightly higher than the exact multiple for all future years, right?
