Players disappearing from the database

belial1134 · 05-17-2021, 06:20 PM

I've noticed 2 fictional players I drafted many seasons ago (and likely didn't sign) have disappeared from the database. They are no longer even listed under the History/Draft tab.

I do have players who have retired (their names are in white).

I don't know if this is a bug or intentional?

If they didn't go on to do anything significant in their careers (e.g. retiring soon after their junior career ends), the data won't be retained.

That makes sense, however, I just noticed a player I drafted in the first round 22-23, is no longer listed on the draft page.

He retired in 40-41 with 1221 games played, 193 goals and 652 assists.

Note: He's still in the database, just not on my history/draft tab anymore.
It was there in my last season so it must of just happened. Any way of getting it back listed on there?

Ok, this is interesting. The player in question retired during the year.
The start of the next season he show backed up in the draft list.

I also know when a player retires, it wouldn't show in his complete history right away (guessing the following season it updates).

Apparently retired players disappear from the draft list history until the next year too.
