Can Not Conduct Amateur Draft

thedokes · 02-01-2025, 10:05 PM

I can not conduct an Amateur Draft.
When promted to proceed, the button to "Start the Draft" is dulled out. The notice is that the draft date (in red) has passed and the date given is 08/26/2026. I can not change this date. My current date of play is in May of 2032.

I started the league in 2024 and developed the problem in 2030. It may have occured when I added addtional leagues (korean etc.) but I'm not sure.
I have played with all the draft rule setings and can only advance upon resetting the date forward or past.the current play date. I have exported the player file and imported it. I waited a full year to lapse (played) with the same results, and deleted the addtional leagues previously added.. In addtion I reinstalled the latest patch.

Any ideas?

If you were on the MLB Draft page, there should be an MLB logo in the upper left. This looks like a draft from the KBO, which if you deleted, cannot start a draft. Ensure the MLB draft settings are good to go and that you have the MLB draft events in the MLB league timeline of events to trigger. To see those, go to the MLB drop down and select League News and then League Events. Is the MLB draft on there?

Thanks

Yes I can back to the MLB Draft settings, the players are generated and the draft events are listed in the timeline. When the date occurs I'm stuck. The Korean Leaue was deleted so I guess I'll live with no draft.
Is this a problem down the road in bringing new players into my fold?

Did you somehow create an association of the leagues? If you did, you might have to delete and unlink the association, the game may still be looking for a shared draft setup.
