Rule 5 draft issue fixed in the most recent update!

Latest update included no franchise fixes, unfortunately rule 5 draft is still broken.

@TWIN_GALAXY said in Rule 5 draft broken:

I see it too. Seems like a bug with 40-man roster set to manual, not placing human controlled team players in Rule 5 draft. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Thank you for confirming, was starting to think I was the only one experiencing it!

Rule 5 worked fine in the show 23, but for this years game I’ve summed through 2034 multiple times and never had a single player taken in rule 5. I’ve also checked and seen that I have younger, higher overall and higher potential players unprotected and the CPU will take older, worse, lower potential players from other CPU controlled teams. Leads me to believe human controlled players are never added to the rule5 eligibility. Their player card will say “yes” for rule 5 eligible but they will not be selected.

Is anyone else experiencing this in franchise mode? Do CPU teams ever take your players in the rule 5 draft? I haven’t seen this issue anywhere else and has never been a problem in previous years franchise mode so I’m wondering if I should uninstall/reinstall. I have tried restarting franchise multiple times and purposely left a few strong prospects unprotected but they never get scooped up.

I’ve submitted a ticket with no response, but the CPU Teams will never select players in the rule 5 draft from the human controlled team. I’ve purposely left young A and B potential players unprotected and they are simply never taken. Anyone know a better way to contact dev team for a fix as rule 5 is a huge part of franchise and having human controlled team players ignored is a big problem for franchise.

Hi, I had all gold equipment accept catcher mask and now it’s all gone and all my stubs I had have disappeared, not just the ones I spent on items. All equipment and stubs just not there. Help?
