Stopping a UFA signing in the NHL

Post by BulldogsFan »

I am editing my roster to keep up with OHL draft picks, NHL trades free agents etc... just wondering how do i make it in the editor so that with Datsyuk going to russia no NHL team signs him as a UFA?

Are you starting in 2015, with him on Detroit? Or are you editing a saved game via the EHM Assistant?

You could try lowering Adaptability to 1.....make potential Russian teams/teammates Favourites.....increasing his Home Reputation while lowering his World Reputation (not sure if you'd have to lower Current Reputation too).....maybe make sure his Ambition's not to high

If you do this to a database I'm not sure how the edits will affect things if he starts in Detroit in 2015.....
If you're editing saved game in the summer of 2016, the suggested edits might work (I don't know what the EHM Assistant can/can't edit though...I've never used it as an editor, only as a data exporter)

FYI the Pregame Editor erases Player Roles from players you edit (likely because it was created before the Player Roles existed)
