Amateurs not being generated

dbacks933 · 05-31-2006, 04:26 PM

I am trying to sim from 1900-2000 in a fictional MLB league. I create the league and everything goes fine for the first season, but so far, twice now, the game has bugged on the second season. Both times the game did not generate a crop of amateurs for the draft and when it gets to the draft the game gives me the error message:

Error "Draft - No player picked!"

I set march 1 as my amateur draft day. Players were generated for the 1900 amateur draft. I tried reloading from the annual auto-save and it still fails to generate amateurs.

Can you please describe your league setup in more detail? How many leagues, etc?

I am having the same issue. I wonder if it because we changed the Draft date to March 1st.

I am thinking of changing it back and testing....

Mackmasterson · 05-31-2006, 04:34 PM

I have a traditional MLB set-up with a AAA, AA, A, A(Short Season) and Rookie Ball minor league. I did add some teams, a total of 40 in each league. AL and NL have 4 Divs, 5 teams each.

The only major change other than amount of teams is the Draft date to March 1 as is the other poster....

I have logged this for Markus to look at.

Mackmasterson · 05-31-2006, 04:37 PM

Thanks...I have changed my draft date back to June 1, and am checking it out

league was was pretty much default except for names and finances. Major League Baseball and all it's subsidiaries.

my initial intuition was it was because of setting the date at march 1 since no one else had reported anything. i'd say this other dude's incident isolates the problem there for sure.

Mackmasterson · 05-31-2006, 04:50 PM

I think I know what the bug is...

In the League Setup, the date for the draft isn't auto-updating. When I changed it to June 1, 1901, it worked fine, but going into the next season it stayed on June 1, 1901 and I had to manually change it. That way the Draft pool was "released" 30 days before, which essentially creates the database to draft from.

I hope this helps....

dbacks933 · 05-31-2006, 04:51 PM

confirmed, i updated mine to march 1, 1901 and it worked fine.

dbacks933 · 05-31-2006, 04:57 PM

actually the draft didn't occur, but it didn't bug. it updated the draft date to march 1st, 1902 and the 1901 draft never occurred.

Mackmasterson · 05-31-2006, 05:08 PM

You are right, I noticed that and changed the draft to happen in June and it worked. Mkae sure to pick a days over 30 days from the present date due to the Player List being "release" 30 days before for scouting....

It ran the draft, but after the season the date still said June 15, 1901 so the db is never created...

Mackmasterson · 06-01-2006, 07:17 AM

Bump in case there are any developments....

This is the same thing I tried to convey here:

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=120243

I started a new league (36 teams, 2 leagues, 3 divisions each league...AAA, AA, A) and upped the draft day to March 2. The first go around there was a draft with a ton of guys (I think I left it at 15 rounds rather than the 5 I wanted maybe?), ranging from 16yo all the way up until 40yo. Note that this shouldn't have been a dispersal draft, as rosters were already populated.

Simmed through a season, and next March...no players to be drafted.

FYI, this is TT # 1445

Mackmasterson · 06-01-2006, 02:29 PM

After the initial problem the first year, I was able to change the draft date and all is well now...10 years simmed, 40 to go....
