having historical players showing up in the draft

[uknownick]

Hello, I have a question about setting up historical leagues - having historical players showing up in the draft instead of the minor leagues. Which settings should I tweak? For example, in 1998, I would like the ones who made Pro-debut in 1999 to show up in the 1998 draft.
right now i always end up with 0 players in the draft pool

If the 1999 debuts are showing up on their real teams, revisit this toggle in the Game Settings. This is from the manual:

Historical Rookies Settings

The Historical Rookies Options affects the treatment of rookies in historical leagues.

Option: Automatically Import Historical Rookies

Description: If this box is checked, each year the actual rookies from the historical database will be imported into your league automatically. If you want historical rookies to be assigned to the same teams they played for in real life, you must disable the first-year player draft in the Amateur Draft Rules section of the Rules screen. Rookies will be imported on the first day of the preseason. If this box is unchecked, all historical rookies will be dumped into the first-year player draft pool.
