Perfect draft broken

I have had so many drafts, where the number of cards I am allowed to pick is less than it should be. I just did a draft and have 20/26 players basically guaranteeing a loss for me. It’s been like this since launch and shouldn’t be hard to fix, so developers…. What’s your plan? This is ridiculous!

Perfect Draft is not broken. There are some specific drafts that are out there where the number of cards you get to pick are less than what it is in a normal draft, usually due to the era it's played in. Please double-check these drafts when you enter and plan accordingly when you draft.

Usually with these lower-roster-size drafts, you can take fewer pitchers than you would normally, since some eras you can get away with a 4-man rotation and fewer players in the bullpen.

So you purposely create drafts to fill only 19/26 slots? Even when the draft says I should be picking 2 diamonds/ perfects per round and it only lets me draft 1? This is on purpose? That’s crazy if this is done purposely, it makes more sense to be a glitch

It is completely on purpose: in old eras you only need 8 or so pitchers, it’s a way to force weirder builds.

You should read the description of the draft

The description says pick 2 players in round 1, 2 players in round 2 and 2 players in round 3. Then it only allowed me to pick 1 in those rounds… so I did read the description, you lack reading comprehension

The description says one thing and the draft does another…. Learn to read or don’t comment at all

Which specific draft are you referring to? The "Pick x of y" is set directly from the draft setup, so there shouldn't be any way to submit a pick that doesn't match the description (the other parts of the description, like card tiers, the text description, etc... are custom and we can change).

there are some drafts that have wrong descriptions: i know the live drafts say that a gold round is round 6 but goes to silver then. but that's the text description, which might be what they're talking about, but that still has nothing to do with the 20/26 (which is normal, but maybe the pick x of x is wrong there)

Within 24 hours you told me I was wrong and need to read the description, then admit the descriptions are wrong… this forum and game are turning out to be a joke. Just lost a loyal customer

Could you please answer Matt's question from earlier as to which drafts you are referring to that have issues with the "Pick X of Y"? It will help me to report to the developers which ones have incorrect X of Ys and make things right.

Now, for what it's worth, to be clear, you didn't exactly make it obvious in your original post that this was the specific issue you were referring to, which is why we were harping on the descriptions, since there are drafts where you do take 20 players or even less for a tournament. Now, if the X of Ys is an issue, then, yes, they do need to be fixed up to be accurate to the draft. If you could help us out with that, it'd be greatly appreciated.

You claim perfect draft isn’t broken… so you missed your chance to help. I’ve seen you do the same on many other posts…. You are not helpful on this forum

OK, let me make a mea culpa here. I'm acknowledging that, okay, if there are issues with the X of Ys in the draft description, which again I could not infer from your original post but now acknowledge there could be an issue after you fleshed out your original point and that I am wrong and something may not be right with those descriptions in that respect, we need to fix them.

If we can take a look at those specific ones you're wondering about, which you can help us out by telling us which drafts we need to look at, we can clear things up and make it better for everybody. I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I know I can do better in the future. Let me at least try to extend an olive branch here.

OOTP is paying Dishnet to get free labor out of their customers. What a Joke! You know there is an issue, so do your job and fix it. I am not your employee and will never help someone like you.

If you did what they were asking the problem, if there is one, could be solved. No need to be rude. Asking a question and then refusing the answer is maybe not a great way to do things.

I’ve actually literally never seen somebody have an issue with Dishnet before. Maybe there’s a reason for that.

I am confused on the original post. Was he in a 20-player draft or did he run out of time?

I'm very curious to know which draft this was. The only way you can end up with less than 20 cards is if you run out of time. If you finish the draft and end up with 20-26 cards, other teams will also have the same amount.

We have a few drafts with 20 cards that are played in the early eras where you can manage the roster due to how pitchers are handled. It create a fun, unique baseball strategy environment.

Any kind of information would be greatly appreciated, so that we can investigate the situation.
