RFAs don't require draft picks

Question

Product: NHL 23Platform:Xbox Series SWhat is your gamertag/PSN ID? MaltherinHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play Franchise Mode and hire a restrictedfree agent.What happens when the bug occurs? You don't give your draft picks when hiring RFAsWhat do you expect to see? I actually give my draft picks.Was the issue in online or offline mode? OfflineInsert Game Mode or Feature here FranchiseWhat time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) All the timeWhat is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30EASHL issues? Please insert your Club Region. N/AWhat is your game language? English‌Now, I know this is a little odd, since the bug is in my favor, but every time I hire an RFA and I never have to give up my draft picks. I have to keep trading those picks to the team for the least valuable player they have, but it just feels like cheating.

@IrishOwl I am pretty sure, though not 100%, but I think that if the AI GM offer sheets one of YOUR players.. and you accept the offer for the picks, you don’t actually receive any picks… I am pretty sure but someone would need to confirm that…
Either way it’s a glaring bug that needs to be fixed.. hopefully it does
Like I said I think it goes both ways

@heavydutyrammer&nbsp;Yeah, that's a completely separate issue. I've not seen that happen and I never restrict RFA's I trade them if I don't want them.This is only for when I pick one up. I spent 7 million on a 7 year deal for an RFA and was required to give up Draft Picks 1, 2, and 3. They didn't take them, and I got the players.The next year I picked up LaFrenier from NYR for 8 million of 3 years. I was supposed to give up my 1st and 3rd, and I picked up another player for 3.5 million the same year. Neither team took my picks, but I got the players.Third year, I picked up Rantanen for 11.5 million. I was supposed to give up 4 years of 1st Round Draft Picks, and I got Ratanan but kept all my 1st round picks.I traded those picks over, but then looked at some of the others in the league who also bought free agents and none of them transfered draft picks. So, if what you are saying is true, it sounds like in Frnachise Mode, they totally screwed up RFAs.

I did a bug report about the opposite (not getting compensation), issue is both ways&nbsp;

Definitely an issue that needs to be looked at&nbsp;

The exact opposite happened to me. My RFA player was given an offer sheet of over 10m. I wanted the draft picks so I waited the 6 days. When it came the notification came up that with the low salary offered I wouldn’t get compensation. This was on ps4
