Contact CS as soon as possible. My guess is you were playing with AP right on the hour of signing cycle. Like :58 :59 :00 or :01. I've seen it happen many times. You're kinda poop out of luck until they get back with you. It can ruin an entire recruiting session for you unfortunately.
Avoid doing that in the future, if that's what happened in your case
this has happened to me, too, although i was never burned by it.
the way it hit me though is, i had an old page up - like it was from the last cycle. i put AP on a recruit, but he had signed like an hour ago (let's say it was midnight, the cycle was 11pm, and i had the page up from 10pm when i'd last done stuff). luckily i noticed before i got off the page, or else maybe it was intentional in the first place. i went and experimented with like, fresh pages, and there was definitely no way to fix it there. but i WAS able to fix it from the recruiting home page i still had open. so i guess uh, if this is a regular problem, you can keep an old page up for the recruiting home page, like just have an extra tab or two open to the recruiting home page and don't touch them, so that you can wipe out those signed guys' AP later? but more importantly, probably try not to assign AP to an already signed recruit in the first place! i *think* that is the only place this comes from, but i don't know...
i do all my recruiting in the last 5m before rollover, for the most part, so i am always making AP changes right up to the second. i have never seen this problem on an AP change before cycle roll, even if its 11:04 and the cycle rolls 5 seconds later. everything there seemed straight when i looked, and i did try mediumly hard to break that, the game won't let you put 90 AP on a player or assign too many or any of that stuff. but there is absolutely no check on whether the recruit has signed, from the recruiting home page. you can assign AP to recruits who signed a day ago, it doesn't care (but you have to do it from the recruit home page, with that little drop down - unless maybe you time it perfectly - it won't let you into the recruiting tab for recruits who have signed, and i am pretty sure it rejects actions made from that page to already-signed recruits, although my memory is fuzzy).
anyway though - if this is an issue for anyone regularly - perhaps use the recruit tab to set AP if it is around cycle rollover time, not the recruiting home page? or just check back a few minutes later, without reloading the page, to make sure nobody signed (open each recruit to make sure they didn't sign yet). keep in mind that it is super normal for cycles to process up to 7 minutes late, and that you may not want to set AP in there during signings without paying attention.
