Rule 5 Draft still is not working

3222 Rule 5 draft doesn't take place until 2007 in historical league

I started a historical league with fictional players and after simming 6 years I still have not had a Rule 5 draft. It shows up on the calendar every year but skips past it. This was created post beta patch. The way I set it up was I started a historical league with complete history to 2006. I then used a template to add the minor leagues and finally added four feeder leagues. Once everything was together released and deleted the players and saved as a world template. I created a new league with the template starting in 1994. I am now in year 2000 and every year the rule 5 draft shows up on the schedule of events but it never happens.

There are a lot of issues reported here and only a handful of volunteers to field them. Please be a little patient with us.

Just to be sure, you didn't disable your 40-man roster, did you?

Sorry. No I did not disable 40 man rosters but I did turn off the expand, adjust league strategy, adjust league totals modifiers and recalc from the historical features.

What time of year is the Rule 5 Draft scheduled for?

In your transaction screen, does the # symbol appear next to some players' names to indicate that they are eligible for the draft?

December 1 of the current season then after the playoffs it changes to Dec. 1 of the next year. Yes there are players with # some of those had the feeder league years included but I am now going towards the 8th season so more of them have the correct years of service.

Here's a thread I just made on the subject

So maybe this is a different problem than #3222.

Hrm. What if you disable the Rule 5 Draft and then re-enable it? Is that even possible?

Regardless, can you zip up your .dat files for us and post the filename here so that I can log the issue? Thanks.

Cannot disable it this point in the season but will keep trying. I uploaded file hopefully it is zipped but I have not used winrar to zip before this so I hope it works. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

I was able to disable the rule 5 draft during preseason. I let a couple of days sim then enabled it I the rule 5 draft started working that year (2003).

I'm glad to hear that you at least found a workaround.

I have logged this issue as TT 3598.

Nutlaw · 08-01-2007, 06:23 PM

This has been claimed fixed for the third patch. If after installing the third patch (once it is released), you find this to still be a problem, please post as such in Tech Support along with the above TT number. Thanks.
