But some of this year's Draft Oicks aren't going to sign and will be back in the Draft again next year and this Game isn't like Hockey where you own the rights to a person.

You asked about how to sign all draft picks to a contract. I told you how to do that. Now you're talking about something completely different, draft picks who won't sign in real life. The deadline is weeks away, we have no idea what's going to happen so there's nothing that can be done now.

The OOTP developers are very good, but they don't have a crystal ball.

If someone ends up not signing, go into commissioner mode and remove them from the roster. Or if you're really concerned, wait until the signing deadline to do your manual draft.

I'm very confused, I can't load my game from before this update it said it can't load because it is from a previous version. The file is still present in the saved games folder. I created new files to see if they show up in the saved games folder and they are not there, and I cannot open the folder from the program. It says that the folder is "unavailable"

Edit: I decided to reinstall the update and now everything is there!

3D seems to be working pretty well now. One thing I noticed that I really like, is that when using pitch by pitch and short PBP there's now more suspense with home runs. Before, you would immediately see in large letters in the PBP section as soon as the bat connected.."SOLO HOME RUN" or something to that affect. Now, the screen stays blank and I actually get to watch to see if the ball will go over the wall before saying it's a home run. Very much a welcomed addition.

Is there an alternate way to download the patch? Every time I try to download it, it times out. I'm on a fast broadband connection and I have tried from home and work.

Still a few little minor quirks... I want to see more throws to bases from the OF/cut off.. at times they hold the ball even when there would be a close play at a base. Just looks odd... also, seems to be too many 1B to pitcher throws.

They have done a fantastic job since release! It's getting more and more realistic!!

Anyone had any issues with the real draft pool from 1991 ? I've been on this save since 1978 and real players have imported fine into the draft class every year until 1991, now I am only seeing fictional SP/RP's who are all rated half or one star. Any theories ? I attached the CSV export.

FYI I just upgraded to the latest patch this morning, but I didn't see anyone else having this issue. I'd really hate to lose this save.

Yeah, it should be. (I think - as long as I posted that comment at least a couple days before this patch came out)

new update--now my game crashes

I updated to the newest version and started a new league. Now I've had the game crash out four times in the last two days. Three of the times it happened between June 1 and the draft. It happened in both 2016 and 2017 seasons so far. Any tips on how to get this to stop?

Thanks!

Get back to you if I learn anything.

Beyond that, either commish mode or running the draft yourself will work.
Thanks man.

New to the game so please forgive me if I'm just oblivious. I downloaded the update for the game and installed it over the old version. The game reads as the most up-to-date version. However, none of the rosters seem updated. I really wanted to start with the current rosters (or as current as possible) without having to go through and complete all the transactions manually. Did I do something wrong with installing the newest update or did it simply not contain updates rosters?

If that is the case is there an easy way to get the most updated rosters or is this something that just needs done manually regardless?

The updated rosters wouldn't be up-to-the-minute, just more accurately reflect the Opening Day rosters with better ratings, missing players, etc.

Also, you would have to start a new game to show these changes. It wouldn't overwrite the rosters of an existing game.

i recall reading most current roster updates require a new game start to become effective. or so i believe. Since i usually do historical 1901 - 1940's, the current roster stuff isn't a worry for my game play, so this sin't from expirience, just something i recall reading. anyway, something to consider and see if anyone with more knowledge can verify or not ....

I definitely started a new game but I was just being silly then. Wasn't sure if the roster update was more current or not but now I know! Thanks for the responses.

Still no fix to where draft picks sign a minor league contract and then sign with another team the next year. Historical settings under reserve clause. Still awaiting a response.
