Rule 5 Draft
 

Downloaded the patch at start of a new season and when it came time for the rule five draft in december again, it never happened. The league events page didn't show it was supposed to happen and the draft never in fact took place (checked league pull down every date till the winter meetings).

I had already confirmed that the rule V option was enabled.

???

I'm sure this is a bug because It didn't happen the last couple times.

For me the draft occurred for the first season, but not the three since.

This has been logged as TT # 1770

TT#1770 Update please
 

Running the patch. Skipping my rule V draft even though the option has been enabled. Just looking for an update here.

It was sent to Markus.

Rule 5 Draft
 

The rule 5 draft only happens after the first season and never again.

I am using the patch.

You sure you have spots on your 40 man roster? I think if your 40 man is full you just don't participate in it.

This is a problem
 

I have noticed this as well

I dont even bother filling the 40 man up anymore because I know people will not be drafted because there is no draft.

Where can I post this where it will be changed?

By the way, for your own MLB knowledge thats not correct.

hmmm . . . that's not the way I've always thought it worked. Since a rule 5 draftee would need to be immediately added to the active/40man rosters, it seems a 40-man spot would need to be open. What's your take on this, MParty?

You can pick, but they way the draft works is that you can skip a pick whenever you want. So, in a given rule 5 draft there may be only 20-30 picks in the draft. I do believe however, you can make a pick and then move someone off your 40-man.

According to the manual, a spot must be available on the 40 man roster to be able to choose a player. (pg 292)
But there should still be a draft, unless every team is full.

You are 100% correct. From a Baseball America article, I have the following quote.
From http://www.baseballamerica.com/today...skbarule5.html

maybe the rule v draft is being skipped because all teams (including the human controlled ones) have full 40 man rosters?

The thing is....you know how on the top right it has like a schedule of the next few events? The Rule 5 draft isnt even there, and I know for a fact that my 40-man has not been full everytime.

Can someone important please verify this glitch either way?

Anyone? I feel like this is an integral part of the game.

of course it's important. I have never had it omitted from any of my test leagues, so I can't say what's happening. The fact that you DO have that draft once is what's a bit unnerving. And never again, eh? I'll look into it. See what I can find in terms of what's already being researched. Next day or two before I know. Maybe. Do what I can.

It's major league level, right? Can you post a screenshot from your setup where Rule 5 is checked along with Option Years, etc....?

I am having the same issue. I started in the year 2001.

In this game the draft is usually schedueled for Decemeber or January 1, and when you go on the little baseball to see what ahead or if you want to sim a little bit, the draft is not there for upcomming events.

Okay, I'm going to run some more tests on this end. Ask more questions, if I have them. I'll also check and see if this has been assigned a TT# yet, and finding that it isn't and we can't evaluate why - I'll add it to the list. Sorry I don't have anything more immediate for you. Probably back at you over the weekend. Thanks for the patience. If you happen to spot a thread indicating this HAS been assigned a TT, let me know by PM and I'll at least get this thread added to the comments for reference. Appreciate it.

TT#1770 is already in the database as reported. I added this thread for reference. Please note the TT# for your info should the need arise.

Thank you sir.

MParty is right. You can draft but then you have to move a player off the 40 to make room.

Edit: I was wrong. Just looked it up online. Weird cuz I thought I heard of teams releasing someone after making a Rule 5 pick to make room. Sorry.

Thanks Endgame, hopefully the screen shots will be helpful. If you need more/different screenies feel free to send me a PM.

Yeah, no problem. I'm just puzzled why I can't get it to skip on this end. It's on my still-trying-to-break list and maybe I can reproduce it.

It's just strange.

Thanks for your help.

Rule 5 Option Changes
 

Just to let you know that after you setup your league the Rule 5 Option turns itself off after the 1st season..Thanks

Same here. Running a historical using Lahman 5.3 with no financials, no minors, no trades and assigned rookies...

Does this only apply to the first year you play through? I started a league and simmed the first five years before I took over that October, and participated in the Rule 5 draft.

A similar issue has been addressed, and most likely it is just that no teams have room on their 40-man rosters.

Offseason/preseason differences.

I'm Not sure about the other teams rosters but when I noticed Rule 5 draft not happening went to the setup and Rule 5 plus a couple finance items are turned right off:confused:

I think I went through a Rule 5 draft just once, in my first season, but none since then. I'm almost positive that the Rule 5 draft option is turned on (not in front of that computer at the moment).

Friendly bump

TT #1770

Please update status if possible

Thanks

fixed!

:happy: :friday: :woohoo: :cat: :flowers:

I'm guessing that this has been brought up (Rule 5 draft)
 

But, I didn't see it; so...

I'm in 1996 after importing lahman. I went through the year and got to the off-season. Here I'm looking forward to the Rule 5 draft and even made roster moves to prevent guys from getting taken on the rule 5 draft. But alas, no rule 5 draft this year. I goto the "sim ahead" baseball icon and there it is...but it isn't until 2006...say what?

I believe this was confirmed fixed for patch 2...

Thanks! I may not have seen it on the list because I never had the problem before, so I wasn't looking for it. Thanks Carplos!

It is now flagged as confirmed fix. It is not yet flagged as fix verified.

This means that Markus said that it was recoded and is working, but the person who owns the bug has not yet verified it is functioning as expected.

Merged related threads. This is still TT 1770, and has been claimed fixed, but it has not yet been verified.

Battists,

I know there was an issue with recreating this bug. If you need a save to test it out on (to verify), let me know what files you need and I can rar or zip it up to you.

Thanks

Merged a few related threads, but I haven't heard back from anyone - are you seeing this problem as resolved in the new patch?

If you are still seeing the issue, please let us know whether you see the issue with new league, or only an existing league.

Thanks!

Steve

I have this issue in an anexisting league (ie, made a leauge, had problem, downloaded the patch, issue was not resolved in that league).

I will say that with 40 man roster guys automatically getting major league contracts (a bug I know is being addressed) its all well and good not to have to protect guys and have to always keep them on the roster or realese them.

Merged related threads. This has been verified in the next patch.
