1988 Draft Discussion

Nice

[Carlos]

Damn you, Denver. Williams was my next pick.

Well, crap. Your scout likes guys my scout doesn't and now your scout liked Andrews?

I want a do-over.

[Carlos]

There's a pitcher I get the feeling my scout likes a lot and maybe 1 other owner might have his eyes on (just assuming because he's still on the board).

I'm really hoping he can fall into the third round. If he does, I'll do a dance for all of you to see. I'll call it the "This is Acid (A New Dance Craze)."

[BradZ]

WTF?! This is getting GD ridiculous at this point. The last two picks (Lonnie Bird and Pat Robbins) are not on my in-game draft list, just like my issue earlier with Kel Brown.

So at this point, 3 out of 39 picks have not appeared in my list. Is anyone else seeing this?

[Carlos]

I haven't checked. Will have to later today.

[Clay]

Maybe your scout is just lazy. The Freedom employees smokes a lot of bud under previous ownership.

Yeah I'm not seeing them in mine, the master copy, either. Something is definitely wrong.

I'm pausing the draft while I try to figure out what it is.

Yeah I didn't have them either.

Odd that we're both missing the same three guys.

[Clay]

So, the question is does anyone see them or is the issue with the Utility?

How would those drafting them have known to look for them in the utility if they weren't able to see them in their draft lists?

Auto Draft?

My guess is they were autopicks. I think I know what's happening.

The utility has settings for feeder league ages. Because we're simming as we draft the utility is including players who turn 21 (or 18 for HS) in the draft utility even though they don't appear in game. I sent a message to the utility to creator to get his thoughts. He is usually very responsive.

At this point to continue the draft we'll need to disable autopick and everyone will need to make sure they only select players who appear in game.

[Clay]

That would make sense.

[Lintyfresh85]

I'm ready to pick if its ok.

I think you should wait, because we may have to back up.
