In Be a GM mode, after I start a season, after the draft, I notice guys like Erik Gudbrandson (drafted by FLA) and Jeff Skinner (drafted by CAR) getting signed by teams that don't have their draft rights. I was playing as NYR, so I had the rights to Dylan McIlrath, hes 18 and needs more time in juniors, so I didnt sign him, because I would have his rights for 2 more years. Then late in the offseason, I see that Detroit has just signed Dylan to a 3 year contract.

O.o Then I take a look at the Free Agent list, and I see 2010 draftees like Brandon Gormley, Cam Fowler, and other guys who's rights are owned like Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson. Is there a way to stop this? Or am I gonna have to deal with my draftees getting stolen away from me?

Yes, it is a major issue that I have also experienced. I posted it in the Bugs/Glitches thread a couple weeks ago. I won't play BaGM until fixed. Completely ruins the mode. It happened to me in my second offseason as well. I lost my first draft class because I wanted to leave the entire class in Junior for another year, but instead they all became free agents. If not fixed I'll have to trade the game in. It was posted by someone else that they are looking into the issue. Not sure how reliable that source is though.

Wow, really? I hadn't heard of this issue. That really sucks. There's really no point then in playing BAGM. If this is the case, I think I'm done too. I've had enough. I've waited since 08 for a working franchise mode. I hope they fix it or I'm selling to the highest bidder.

IIRC, I talked to Gurn about this one way back when I had the game early. I think the bug happens when you use a custom roster and start from the draft, although I'm not certain on that part since it was a while ago. At any rate, he said it's one of the BAGM fixes they're working on for the patch.

I've been told if you start your Be a GM mode at the start of the 2010 season and not at the 2010 draft this won't be an issue.

ucas005 · 10-11-2010, 01:26 PM

No, both times I've started by BaGM I did NOT start with the draft and had the issue. I did however use my custom roster both times.

By custom roster, does that also include the downloaded roster you get when you play an online game?

What I did was manually put guys like Fowler, Gudbranson Gormley, Nino ect on to each of their teams respective roster and THEN start a BAGM after the draft.

This guarrantees they will be under contract with said team.
