Military Service - Bring players back

[angryfrenchcanadian]

Just went through my first year on 26, and as the year offseason started I got a message warning me that a bunch of my players decided to opt in their mandatory military service of 18 months, rendering them unavailable for over a year. It led me to realize that I checked a box in the league rules activating mandatory military service, which was absolutely a mistake on my part.

Now as half the american players in the league have joined the military, is there a way to force them back? I unchecked the option but as I go through the edit screen for players, there seem to be no way to cancel their 18 months of unavailability.

Is there a way to force them back or is my save doomed?

Bump, will likely just start a new save but I'd like to know if there is someway to do so.

Am away from my computer but see if there is a setting in League Settings, the far left tab (global settings?) where there's a bunch of buttons that do league wide tasks (erase service time, clear all league injuries, reset fatigue, etc) and see if they added a clear all military service button. If they address this kind of thing in the future (assuming it isn’t there) that’s where I’d look for a button to fix it.

I have this same issue (I posted it onto reddit a few hours ago). Did you ever find a solution, I searched everything in the settings as commisioner but I could not find anything. Its my first time ever have a game breaking issue in one of my saves so it sucks to see. If there is no way to reverse it, im surprised that it was implemented.

You can edit players individually to remove it while on the player page in commissioner mode, but at the moment we don't have a mass edit function for it. We can look to add that for the next patch (likely as an option when you disable military service in the league settings, to have that remove all players on active duty).

I appreciate the reply and the help. I realise now what the option was not available. When it happend, I turned military service off to try and fix the issue. But if you are in commisioner mode and military service is not selected, then it does not show up in the player editor. Looks like its time to go through all the MLB players .

Thanks again
