We are currently having an issue getting groupthink II off the ground. We are starting with the expansion Texans, at the expansion draft. Both Mike47 and I have reinstalled and patched FOF4 to a clean state. When Mike47 unzips our league save and hits the begin expansion draft button, he sees different players than I do. Not all of them are different, but some of them are. Has anyone run into this problem while doing a groupthink? Thanks for input, in advance!

I think you need to save the game after starting the expansion draft and redistribute the file.

But once you start an expansion draft, you have to finish an expansion draft. So if we saved it the draft would allready be complete.

It's strange, I saved all of the files in my universe folder and uploaded them. Everytime Tasan extracts he gets the same players. Everytime I extract I get the same players as well but there are always a handful of different players between the two extractions.

The problem is the AI doesn't always choose the same players to be exposed. Since you can't exit out of the expansion draft there is no way around that. Basically one person is going to just have to run the expansion draft and the distribute the file out from there.

You can make a list of the top players in the expansion draft and then the rest of the people can go look at them on their teams if they haven't been put in their version yet.

Ok, what I'm going to do (after class) is start the expansion draft. I will write down the names of everyone who is available. I will leave the game running for a while so that we can colaborate as much as possible. From there I will make selections and post them one by one.

Thanks Primelord.
