New Draft Classes - Age Question

BennyTheMarlin · 04-25-2020, 01:27 PM

For a few years, I've played a league with a 16-year age minimum. Player ages the game creates for the amateur draft have always been the same. With this year's version, the game generated a typical 17-23-year-old major league draft. Any way to dial back the ages to let only the youngin's back in?

I looked around and just saw this may be fixed with the last patch. Is this part of the fix?

I ran this with the new patch and the ages looked the same. Though I switched to 100% high schoolers (as I should've done the first time), I still get only 18-19 year olds and the odd 17.

Ideally, we could set the draft ages for each level. I'm supposing there's nothing that can be done now without another patch unless someone has an idea.

The other thing I noticed is that I can edit a player's draft class in the player editor. I thought I might do that to move up my future draft eligibles and delete the older guys, but then I'm short on the number of draftable players. Can I generate more somehow?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Where were you able to change this setting? I also like my players to enter the league at a young age.

Game Settings > Rules > Amateur Draft Settings

You can now set %'s for HS, JuCo, and College among eligibles.
