deleting/editing supplemental

[Tom the Fish]

I'm currently playing in 1995 with the ABA quickstart that came with the last version of ootp. I decided to add a Japan league to the world at the beginning of 1994. Japan's season started earlier than the ABA(this world's version of the major league), and the free agency period for Japan started just as the World Series for the ABA started.

I didn't notice until it was too late, but one of the computer-controlled teams signed 7 Japanese stars from the free agency pool and started them in the world series. The team signed them to one-year contracts that expired at the end of 1994. I decided to ignore this, treat it as a team taking advantage of a loop-hole, and made the Japan league season start later in 1995.

Now I noticed that the team that signed the 7 Japanese stars had a lot of supplemental picks. I figured they must have lost quite a few players in the 1994-95 offseason. I'm 5 games into the 1995 season and it hit me the players they lost were all the Japanese players they signed to play the world series.

While I decided to ignore the extra Japanese greats playing in the world series and fix it for 95, I cannot abide the team getting all these extra draft picks. I have searched for a way to delete these picks to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I also got to say I'm not too happy to learn that any team can sign any player from the free agency list and play them in the playoffs, but I'm willing to ignore that to get these supplemental draft picks gone.

Thanks,
Tom

bump.

I'm considering just letting the team (Chicago) take the pick, then go in as commissioner and have them release the player.

But after reading that, the player will just go to free agency and not back to the draft pool, right? Great.

Can anyone think of a work around here? Can I move the player back into the draft pool somehow? Or is there some other option so I can take these supplemental picks away from Chicago that I just can't think of?

Thanks,
Tom

I had the same issue pop up. The only way I can think of to handle it is to take over the team and intentionally blow those supplemental draft picks, i.e. pick players at the bottom of the talent pool.

Yeah, that's looking like the only option at this point.

I'm bumping this once in the hopes that someone has a better idea than just giving Chicago scrubs in the draft.

Thanks,
