nhl clubs release and waver some key players for no reason

Post by Mihajlo »

Hello, Im using my own database and it is working just fine (ehm 2007, imported in ehm 1). After I manually edit bunch of players to give them unique role (playmaker: finesse for exmp), my game starts ok but after week or two some clubs release players and waver players for no reason (players with top CA, mostly goaltenders). Since I didnt touch anything else Im confused...

editing was done with ehm1 editor latest version.

Is there any way to error check or do something to find what is wrong?

Is it because teams are not compliant with a league Salary Cap?

No, salary cap is ok. Contract are all ok aswell. There is no logical reason for release and waver... and everything was ok under same conditions before editing players unique roll and twiking some attributes for off/deff ...

For example Min.Wilde release 2nd goalie and waver 1st. Furthermore, some clubs singed released players and day or two after that they release them :roll: :roll:

edit: I tried with fantasy draft, same... main problem is that I have no idea where to look for a reason why AI doing this. Also, tried to copy everything from database folder which is working fine (except database file) and still nothing...

Are you checking the ingame results, or what your database says?
You want to check actual ingame results; the game can/will change database values in some cases (including contract $ amounts)

Do other databases work OK/is it only your edited database having issues with releasing/waiving players?



If other databases work OK, and the ingame results show no contract/salary cap issues, then alas I have no idea why you're having the issue you are :dunno:

both, and both is fine. I just recheck ingame and in save (starting database also) and it is like it should be.

any other database working fine and dont have this issue. Even the database same as this one just without this last edit is working fine. Im 100% sure I didnt touch anything else except player role and some attributes.
seems like I waste one afternoon to set up everything for nothing ](*,)
tho, I can try again to see if it will work, if not then I'll give up.
