Entry Draft in Custom Franchise

Hey, so I noticed the bug at the Entry Draft still isn't fixed. When you start a custom Franchise and go into the Expansion Draft your team doesn't show. It always shows the actual 2022 Entry Draft, with Buffalo and Seattle getting pick 1 and 2. The Custom team is always shoved into the 4th position. So there is no chance to get a top 3 player (but then again you already get a top 5, so maybe that's worth it.) Now, that being said, I see the other teams adjust. Like in my Kansas City Franchise Seattle got 1 and in the Baton Rogue Franchise Seattle got 5 (as you can tell, I'm a huge Seattle fan).

KUDOS on Hold the Line actually appearing! That is epic. Now, I hate that I have to acutal think more about my team, but I'm glad I do. It makes the game more fun to me!

    I have created a few teams in franchise,  I have gotten the #1 pick in one of them and 3rd pick in the other ones.  There is a chance to get that top pick but it is random.

    You actually see you Custom Team name on the board? I've noticed that I got the first last night, but the board still read Buffalo 1, Seattle 2, and so on, despite me having the first and Seattle having the 4th.

    I'm talking as soon as you click Sim to Entry Draft, the black screen with the white writing appears and it doesn't list you Custom Teams name, and also follows the order of the Default Roster Picks, even though the actual spots do change during the entry draft.

    No, created team doesn't show on the initial list however,  not that big of a deal to me as long as the draft is correct. It would be nice for it to show up on that screen though.

    Yeah, created a new custom team Franchise last night and it didn't show up in the draft order screen.

    Haven't done the draft yet, so I don't know if it fixes itself or not yet..

    It will actually put you in different places. I started a new game last night, liike a dolt, and I got the first overall draft pick... Which really sucked as the first 4 players were all forwards and none match any of my coaches line schemes. I ended up trading it to Buffalo for their first round pick (5th overall) and Philadephia's (13th overall) and got a Top 4 D and Top 6 Forward that actually fit my scheme. I got a third line and a ML starter.
