Expansion Draft Stand Still???

Jessejkb · 12-31-2016, 03:43 PM

I simmed to July 1st and expanded the league and checked off the take over box. But when i closed the screen where u add the teams i noticed i was still unemployed so i went the available jobs screen and found the team i made (Seattle) and selected Take Over Team..now when i Finish the Day to get to the Expansion Draft i can go to the Draft screen but everything in the Action Menu is Greyed out and i cant start the draft nor can i sim past the day because it says to do the Expansion Draft first. Now did i mess it up by not waiting a day for me to automatically take over Seattle? If so i can just make a new game id just like to know if thats the issue. Thanks!

I'm not sure what's gone wrong there - I've tried replicating what you did (as well as leaving the box unchecked during expansion, then taking over the team via commissioner mode after expansion) and I still have all the action menu options available when the draft begins. Are you going to the draft screen via the "NHL Expansion Draft" link under "Today's Event" on the Team + League Controls menu?

I'm having exactly the same issue. Everything is greyed out.

Try switching screens back to your team's roster screen, then going back in using the "Today's Event" link. I had an entry draft glitch on me like that a few days ago and going out and back in reset it.
