Historical league question

Cubfan2001 · 01-26-2022, 11:38 PM

Hello everyone,

I started a historical league in 1996, I set for a fantasy draft and then set it up where players come in random years rather than the year they normally would have. In 2011 the draft was completely empty. So I started looking around in settings and found “ disable automatic creation of free agents and fictional draft class” I noticed the default was check marked. When I unchecked it fake players started coming and they were good prospects, but now I’m in 2013 and the draft is empty again.

So my question is when you do a historical league set up for a certain year does the game just stop creating players at some point? I always assumed when I would get to real time then it would become a fictional league like we normally could do. Is there maybe something I can do to make the draft la populate again?

I have

Automatically import historical rookies and use random rookies from all eras Checked on.

I started in 1996 so I thought it would continue until 2021 but like I said in 2011 I had an empty draft. So then I turned off the checkmark of: "disable automatic creation of free agents and fictional draft class” I noticed the default was check marked. When I unchecked it fake players started coming and they were good prospects

However in 2013 the draft was empty again. However I kept simming and in 2014 there were players in draft again so I wonder if I should have just left it as is. It's still weird drafts come up with no players on them every once in awhile though
