Historical Game drafts

Is there no amateur drafts in historical games? I started a 1972 Atlanta Flames game and previous drafts only show maybe 10 people being picked and theres no date for the draft after this season. I have Draft rookies/Generate rookies at 17 selected..

Edit: Just noticed they do it in July, so it doesnt appear till after the free agents file. My bad lol

Dave Taylor is in the wrong draft. He was drafted in 1975 but is available in the 1974 draft. Guy Chouinard seems to be missing from the 1974 draft class as well.

I cant post the picture i guess but Mark Howe, Dennis Maruk, Dave Taylor and Wilf Paiement are all in the same draft.. which is not right.

Is this normal in historical mode? every draft seems to be a bit off.

With generate rookies at age 17 they would all appear in the same draft as I believe all are the same age

Ahhhh okay, any way to make drafts happen without the generate at 17 option turned on? I noticed without it it just auto drafts to what happened in real life.

The game uses the draft rules that were in place in the actual year, so players appear in the draft they were first eligible for, which isn't necessarily the one they were selected in.

The only exceptions are years (e.g. 1974) where there were different age limits for different rounds (18 for the first two rounds in 74, 20 from round 3 on.) We can't switch age limits in mid-draft, so it's the lowest age for the whole draft.

However, it looks like there's a mistake in the age limit for the 1974 draft right now - it's set to 19 instead of 18, so that's why Chouinard, Paiement, etc. aren't appearing. I'll fix that.
