Fictional league draft and release problem?

Smetana · 07-02-2008, 07:48 AM

I searched around and couldn't find this problem described. Sorry if it has.

I've been running tests with a fictional league, trying to get the numbers to my taste, and I reviewed the most recent amateur draft. I discovered, to my dismay, that every team, every round (16 teams, 7 rounds) made their draft choice, then turned around and released the player the same day.

Anybody else have this problem crop up?

What kind of setup do you have? Is there a place for the team to put the new players (like a Rookie League)? Maybe there's no room left in the minors for the new players, and they're not as good as the ones that are already there.

Good point. I use just AAA and AA for simplicity sake. I'll need to check on this when I get home.

Any progress on this one?

I should have run a search before posting my own similar problem. I'm seeing this behavior in the 2 winter leagues in my OOTP universe. The main league and the 2 international leagues don't exhibit the problem. I've tried a variety of methods to combat it, including playing with different roster limitations (or no limit at all), but nothing seems to work.

A lack of space on rosters appeared to be the problem, at least in my case. I ran a new test league with all levels of minors, and the problem went away.

Okay, I'll close this one out then.

Corsairs, we'll address your issues in your own thread, since you already started it.
