Arrgh - True FR just declared for Draft

[mkpeak]

My star player just declared for the draft after his true Freshman season.

Unless I'm mistaken a player must be a minimum of 2 years removed from high school before he can be draft eligible.

known fixed in first patch http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum...ead.php?t=9077

[mkpeak]

Will this patch fix the issue for existing careers/saved game or only for new careers/games?

Thanks,
-Kevin

yeah this is killing me... I had a trio of super freshman leave me.. a 1500 yd RB, my starting QB that won the Davey O'Brien award and an OT that was 4.0/5.0 stars by seasons end all declared... I am eagerly anticipating this patch

[Tim Plum]

you're career/save games are safe

[mkpeak]

Cool...good thing I made a back-up copy before advancing to coach offers...I got a little paranoid after loosing both my OC & DC after my first season.

[Arlie Rahn]

You need to load a game from prior to advancing the offseason in order to get the fix. The process of advancing is what adds the players to the potential list.

[DoctorJ]

Actually the NCAA rule is they cannot declare until 3 years after graduating HS.

[Munster]

This is true...so even after the fix, why are sophomores still declaring?

[Munster]

And freshman (after their freshman season), for that matter?

[SkyDog]

I haven't seen anyone younger than a Junior declare since the patch. Odd.

[Tim Plum]

Munster can you put a screen shot?

[Munster]

How, Tim? What I've got right now is my "Potential Declaring Underclassmen" e-mail, which shows a whole bunch of rising sophomores threatening to declare.

[Emiliano]

Munster is right, sophomores are declaring. The problem is they are listed as juniors because the game advances in the off-season; but they've played only 2 seasons of college ball.
