is there a way to make a North American player play in Europe naturally? Like what Matthews did the year before his draft? I made multiple Canadians, set there junior preferences to Europe, even made there secondary nationality European, made there national team eligibility there European country, and they still played Junior in Canada, get drafted into the O,W or Q and play there junior hockey in those leagues.
Is there a way to do this naturally? or do you have to give there rights to a euro team and finagle it some other way?
Not supported unfortunately, it could be done by removing the geo-lock on loans. You can do this manually manually via EHM Assistant.
I'll have to look into this. Where is it located?
Basically just changing the club playing to another club from club contracted the game should treat this as a loan
another editing question I suppose... is there a way to make a north american country based league completely rid of foreign players? I mean like making a canadian leauge where americans are considered foreign, or vice-versa. I'm trying to re-structure professional hockey in north america and one of my desires is to have an ECHL level canadian and american leauge, who play there own leagues and whatnot, but converge after there playoffs to play for a trophy against one another. Sort of like the NHL and PCHL did wayyyy back in the day for the stanley cup!
Yes, you can do this with Transfer Rules
Ok, sorry to be such a pain! however, what line am I missing?
under the "transfer rules" tab
in the "Basic data" section I have the line "Max Foreign players in squad" set to 1
then in the "extra rules" section I have the line "fixture rule max foreign players" set to 1
and another extra rule "fixture rule max foreign players for domestic teams" set to 1
however my teams in canada are still signing multiple americans...
apologies again for being dumb with this stuff haha.
Not a problem, it's not easy and takes a lot of trial and error! Try also adding the rule "Foreign players for domestic teams based on national team eligibility" = true, this should block any other nationalities unless they have dual-citizenship with Canada.
and of course you were exactly right! it always seems to be 1 line in 1 subsection of the editor that messes up everything your trying to do haha!
thanks so much!
I wonder what causes this. I've never seen players drop that low before, even unranked players are being chosen over ranked ones? Could it be a DB thing?
sorry if this has been asked and answered before, however, are there rules in the editor to force the NHL to honour contracts? or is that a hard coded NHL-KHL thing?
What do you mean by honor contracts, like disallow any offers?
So when you attempt to sign a player from the KHL that has a contract, doesnt the player usually play out the contract? Like say its until 2022 but you try to sign him in 2020, he would stay in Russia until his contract expired right? Or am I mistaken.
That's what I thought, yea this is the case for all European leagues actually unless the league allows a foreign release clause, you can find these in the Transfer Rules for the league. The rule for making contracts guaranteed may play into this a bit, along with having transfer windows, so if you attempt to sign someone in Europe usually they won't come over right away, you have to wait for the transfer window to open up, those can be changed (or removed entirely to allow transfers at any time).
KHL guys sometimes sign right away in-game, even if they have 1 or more years remaining.
huh. so there is no way to prevent that from happening? everyone just goes to the nhl no matter what?
