Historical draft problem

LMNt: The synthesized love machine · 09-26-2002, 07:05 PM

I think I know the problem, but I need the soulution.
The ammy draft crashes to desktop, when using the data base. After looking, it seems that there are to many rounds and not enogh players. Do I need to change the rounds every year, or is there a simpler way to do this.

I've not really played historically much but I would say leave it at 4 or 5(just guessing here) for the draft.

if you crash, hit reset league, you'll miss spring training, but it won't mess anything else up. Or, you can create players in order to finish the draft, but once it's crashed, it starts over in round 1 so you'll have to create as many players as it would take to finish the draft.

You do not necessarily have to create that many players. Just create enough for one round.

At the top of the draft screen with the order, you'll see something that says Rounds. Click on this. You can then shorten the draft to one round. (This was possible during OOTP3, haven't had to try it in OOTP4, but I'd suspect it will still work)

Draft the fake players, turn financials off, release then delete them. And you should be alright to go. Also make sure each team in the league has at least 20 players this can cause a crash like this as well.
