Missing Players in Am. Draft

mitchkenn · 10-04-2016, 02:03 PM

playing a semi-historical (lots of fictional players) game - 1920's now.

the last couple of years, the only players in my Draft (held each June 1) are the Negro League and a few random nationality players i create.

i have the box checked to put historical rookies into the draft. i think i read they appear a year later than IRL but that's not an issue. Issue is i'm having none. i checked on Lou Gehrig and he was listed as No Team. But he was not in free agents or any of my drafts. Same for Paul and Lloyd Waner. Am i missing a setting, or the fact i manuallly expanded my league to 36 teams affecting something? Really weird. i know when i was playing in the 1915-1919 range, i was getting real rookies.

i think i read something about this in the forums, but didn't locate it with a search. i must be missing some setting. Thanks for any advice.
