How to stop AI from "Helping me" in draft 5

I actually am not new to game but figured best place to ask this is here. I have always turned off draft 5 because of it but need draft 5 with my current league (very badly).

My problem is when draft 5 comes around the AI loads my secondary roster full of people who I absolutely don't want on secondary roster. Obviously would make use of secondary roster but it's choices are... Just awful.

How do I go about turning this off I am sure there has got to be a way. I looked around but just gave up. I have had full control over every aspect of team but it still does it. I have pretty much ignored draft 5 because of this but it's causing some problems now that I have league 10 years in now. Got a lot of 23 to 26 year olds sitting in minors when they shouldn't be.

I've had issues with the AI helping too but never got a reply to my thread. I haven't played since posting because I don't want to put time into a league only to have the AI step in and do something I don't want them to do.

Yeah I am wondering if it could be a bug tbh due to lack response (Great forum here if someone knew answer sure I would get it). Every time I think something is bug though ends up being user error (me lol).

My season just ended (Arizona beat me in game 7 of WS because an error ending the tie in the 9th) but I am going to go through settings make sure EVERYTHING is on me then see what happens.

I have just bloated minor leagues. It's absurd and AI isn't moving them at all.

I can't say this has ever happened to me. If I don't draft someone in the Rule 5 draft, they don't get drafted by my team.

So, yes, I would think you might want to take a close look at your settings. I assume you are GM of your team? (GM only or GM and manager.) And that there isn't a setting you have selected (however unintentionally) that has someone else (like your assistant GM) handling the Rule 5 draft.

Now I suppose if you have a meddling owner it could be that is why this is happening without your say so. I myself have a meddling owner and have never experienced this though.

As far as I know, this is not a bug but probably something specific to each of your settings/owner personality, etc.

Do you mean Rule 5 draft?

What you describe suggests that you do not have full control. I have hundreds of season played in multiple versions and only I decide who goes on or off the 40 man roster or any other roster. Check your Manager Options page and make sure your role, GM or GM/MANAGER is right ie not just manager. Also check the 13 lines below for your name only in the boxes

I also have not had this happen. I normally have my control options that I handle the Major League team, including draft and amateur signings. I let the AI handle my minor leagues players and personnel.

I get a warning prior to the Rule 5 draft that I have unprotected players, but I have never had the AI move a bunch of players onto my 40 man to protect them. I do that manually.
