Draft issue

Hrycaj · 12-07-2014, 04:47 PM

is there a way in commish mode to take away draft picks? In one of my solo leagues I have an issue where one club gets the first 6 picks. I know it is a larger issue which I'm still exploring but the easy short term fix would be to rid of those picks. It is actually draft day in that league, is it possible to get those other picks out of there? Thank in advance

Not to take away that I know of, but you can Assign a Random Order which gives each team only 1 pick per round, or simply give those picks to other teams, Whichever works better for your league.

The draft has a set number of picks per round based on the number of teams in your league. During the draft, you can easily reassign the picks to other teams while in commish mode but you cannot remove the picks entirely.

I cant think of any way to set the game which would result in 1 team having the 1st 6 picks in every draft. How did you do that?

Well that is a longer story. I set up a fictional league where one of my teams is not being recognized by the game for some reason. At first I thought that they just couldn't sign their first round picks which would result in them getting that pick back next year. Once I realized the problem I went into commish mode and had to assign their picks to the team, and sign coaches and a few other things. It is really odd. The problem now is the historical index doesn't recognize their draft history and is giving them a first round pick for every year that the league has been active. So next year they will have 7 picks in a row. I put a lot of work into building this league and I don't want to scrap it, but it looks like that may be the case. I had planned on expanding the league in a few seasons maybe I can fold that team and that will fix the problem. I don't know. Learning experience if nothing else.
