Rule 5 Draft - Page 2

endgame · 06-14-2006, 11:21 PM

of course it's important. I have never had it omitted from any of my test leagues, so I can't say what's happening. The fact that you DO have that draft once is what's a bit unnerving. And never again, eh? I'll look into it. See what I can find in terms of what's already being researched. Next day or two before I know. Maybe. Do what I can.

It's major league level, right? Can you post a screenshot from your setup where Rule 5 is checked along with Option Years, etc....?

I am having the same issue. I started in the year 2001.

MParty7441 · 06-15-2006, 07:38 PM

In this game the draft is usually schedueled for Decemeber or January 1, and when you go on the little baseball to see what ahead or if you want to sim a little bit, the draft is not there for upcomming events.

endgame · 06-15-2006, 08:24 PM

Okay, I'm going to run some more tests on this end. Ask more questions, if I have them. I'll also check and see if this has been assigned a TT# yet, and finding that it isn't and we can't evaluate why - I'll add it to the list. Sorry I don't have anything more immediate for you. Probably back at you over the weekend. Thanks for the patience. If you happen to spot a thread indicating this HAS been assigned a TT, let me know by PM and I'll at least get this thread added to the comments for reference. Appreciate it.

TT#1770 is already in the database as reported. I added this thread for reference. Please note the TT# for your info should the need arise.

MParty7441 · 06-15-2006, 09:32 PM

Thank you sir.

MParty is right. You can draft but then you have to move a player off the 40 to make room.

Edit: I was wrong. Just looked it up online. Weird cuz I thought I heard of teams releasing someone after making a Rule 5 pick to make room. Sorry.

Thanks Endgame, hopefully the screen shots will be helpful. If you need more/different screenies feel free to send me a PM.

endgame · 06-15-2006, 10:13 PM

Yeah, no problem. I'm just puzzled why I can't get it to skip on this end. It's on my still-trying-to-break list and maybe I can reproduce it.

It's just strange.

Thanks for your help.

Just to let you know that after you setup your league the Rule 5 Option turns itself off after the 1st season..Thanks

WrightWing · 06-20-2006, 12:17 AM

Same here. Running a historical using Lahman 5.3 with no financials, no minors, no trades and assigned rookies...

jbsnadb · 06-20-2006, 02:59 AM

Does this only apply to the first year you play through? I started a league and simmed the first five years before I took over that October, and participated in the Rule 5 draft.

A similar issue has been addressed, and most likely it is just that no teams have room on their 40-man rosters.

redmarkYankees · 06-20-2006, 04:06 AM

Offseason/preseason differences.

I'm Not sure about the other teams rosters but when I noticed Rule 5 draft not happening went to the setup and Rule 5 plus a couple finance items are turned right off

gord · 06-20-2006, 09:41 AM

I think I went through a Rule 5 draft just once, in my first season, but none since then. I'm almost positive that the Rule 5 draft option is turned on (not in front of that computer at the moment).

fantom1979 · 06-20-2006, 10:51 PM

Friendly bump

TT #1770

Please update status if possible

Thanks

But, I didn't see it; so...

I'm in 1996 after importing lahman. I went through the year and got to the off-season. Here I'm looking forward to the Rule 5 draft and even made roster moves to prevent guys from getting taken on the rule 5 draft. But alas, no rule 5 draft this year. I goto the "sim ahead" baseball icon and there it is...but it isn't until 2006...say what?
