I became GM of the Scouts, did the expansion drft and the regular draft and had a mediocre season, which was expected. I set myself up with two good 1st rnd picks in '75-76 so when that draft rolled around and was blank I was bummed. What happened? Did I do something wrong? Or did I misinterpret that this was fixed?

I am so very bummed. I had really begun to get into this game and this keeps killing my enthusiasm.

EDIT: as an aside, the is the ONLY aspect of the game that is critically missing for me. Players develop and the franchises can be managed at many different level. The one thing missing in history mode is a consistent draft.

Okay, I decided to try re-running the settings I've used: I started in 1973 but this time I let it run without taking a job. There was a draft in 1974 but in 1975 the draft board was empty again.

Oh poop....
