Live Start - Amateur Draft

DaBears · 07-15-2024, 11:02 PM

I posted this in the bugs forum as well, but no response. When you start a live game now, it shows the draft as already complete but there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to go and negotiate with players. Will you just lose a year of new players? If so, it would seem like that becomes a real problem long-term.

Note, the date in my new message is March of 2024, but the live start is as-of today (July 15).

For those interested, I think I figured out a workaround. If you immediately go in and set the draft date to a couple of days after your live start, you end up with a fictional draft class. It’s not perfect but at least you do not lose a full year of players coming into the game.

I believe we are still working on getting some draft stuff added to the database at the moment, for the desktop game as well. I'll be putting out another patch shortly with updated data, among other things

Thanks, Will. I just asked the same basic question.
