Coach hiring problem/glitch?

Post by devils97 »

In one of my first games, I had found Brent Sutter available to hire from his junior team, so i fired my current coach and signed Sutter...but now when I try to hire him in a new career, he is no where to be found. Can anyone help me? (I even deleted all the my careers and started a new one, and he still isnt there)

Did you patch between games? Are you using a different database?

Run a search for him ingame and make sure to change the view to non-Player. Thats how I've been able to find him.

Yeah, do what Saranis said. I'm guessing that when you did a regular staff search (not the Find Non-Player) you had something like filter non-realistic targets or something like that. Another thing to try would be to go directly to his junior team and look at their personnel.

http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/dl ... &cat_id=35 Pick whatever version you have (PC or mac) If you're already running 3.0.4 then your just outta luck. My caps game is based off a Modified Default Database (everythings default except colors for caps) so if you cant find him then you're not gonna. On a side note Patching will only update future games, not current.

Also screenshots of how your searching would prove helpful. Just incase you're doing something wrong.
