Draftees from feeder league. No trade restrictions

le receveur · 12-05-2013, 02:23 PM

(reposting from feeder thread in beginner forum)

I finally had my feeder leagues (added 10 years into universe) running long enough to provide draftees.

First off-season following the draft, the players drafted are eligible to be traded, even though i still have the no first year restriction selected. Is this normal, or did i mess up my settings?

bumping, just because i'd like to know if it's a bug or if i set it up wrong. AI now just asked me for a drafted player in a trade, 2 days after he was signed from JUCO.

I'm curious about this and have often wondered what the hard coded date/time frame is for "allow trading of recently drafted players" actually is.

For example, if my draft is June 1st, and I have the box checked to not allow trading of recently drafted players, when does the "recently" part expire? Is it when the season ends, off-season, pre-season?

It would be nice to know. Especially if you set your draft for after the season has ended.

I always thought that once the season ended, the "recently" part had expired and you could then trade these type players. I don't know for sure though.

it got interesting when i decided i wanted more HS draftees, so i added a 2nd HS feeder. of course i forgot this would change the setting to 80 rounds (sigh!)- this truly needs to get changed.... so AI had to create non-feeder draftees.

the results was, someone drafted from Feeder could be traded immediately, someone created by AI could not. (did not test when the feature changed).

It shouldn't be automatically changing your # of draft rounds setting.

it did change to 80 both time i added Feeders. Actually the stickied guide in the New to the Game side says this is normal. i just forgot about it. it just created deep drafts (i did cull the 2nd time to remove most of it)
