OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Rule 5 Draft Not Occurring as Scheduled (in Two Ways)

As it turns out, custom playoffs don't mess anything up in league. So, there is probably an in-season event that messes with the Rule 5 Draft.

I didn't save the file while noticing this, but after I test-simmed an inaugural season without custom playoffs to the end of the postseason, the scheduld Rule 5 Draft for that season went from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021. Anyway, I elected to fix it manually, but I'll have to pay attention to when the dates change next time. (Oddly, it gives me the option of setting the 2020 Rule 5 Draft to occur in 2019, by the way.) Expect another post about it soon...and probably another league file in the FTP.

This is just weird. Hopefully, I can figure out what's going on before the World Series ends and certainly do so before 22 comes out.
