Missing Draft Pool

demons19 · 04-04-2025, 05:31 PM

I was playing ootp24 from 1962-1984
I converted the league to ootp25 about a month into the offseason.
It seemed to convert without issue.
I am now in 1985 and the draft pool was released and there are only 30 players!

Is this fixable?
League ruined?

Change the Draft and Draft Reveal Date. I suspect it is too early and not at the OOTP 25 game default. Put the Draft at about 15 November and then the draft reveal around 15 October. This assumes, of course that 15 Oct is in the future relative to your current game date. If not, again, put Draft in November, and make the reveal tomorrow. Moving the draft reveal forward in time alone (even if keeping the draft date fixed) can trick the game into thinking it is doing last year's draft. That's the most common reason this happens.

Bottom Line, in League Settings, try resetting the draft and the draft reveal date to be a day and two days from now and try to get it to see those milestones again.

From 1962-84 the draft has always been in December in this league.....the reveal I guess was set for July. I never changed that setting.

So, push the reveal forward and perhaps it will re-populate.
I will give that a try, thanks.

I tried a lazy way and pushed the reveal for 10 days forward and the same 30 players appeared

I will now change the draft date and make the reveal much closer to the draft date and pray it works.

If not, is there a fix?

Try some of these threads (the ones off this link, second post) as some of them did get resolved iirc.

Pleased to report that I moved the draft from December to November and the reveal was 30 days out.
The players have all shown up!
