First Round Pick Redshirted in NCAA

tyleraven10 · 03-26-2025, 12:11 PM

I have no clue why this happened, but it kinda breaks the development of a nearly NHL ready prospect to get redshirted in college. And the real problem is that I've found absolutely no way to remove a redshirt tag after it gets placed on a player. Even when I move said player to the CHL or have them sign an NHL contract, the game wont let them play CHL or NHL games either, and it doesnt matter if im controlling the team hes playing for or trying to do it with the commissioner user, nowhere he goes will anyone give him games. Is this fixable? Perhaps a way to make it so the commissioner can remove redshirt tags on players when we feel they're incorrectly assigned to players who would never be redshirted, or at least an assurance that being "redshirted" in the NCAA wont remove a players ability to play CHL, NHL, or any other games in a playable league?

Same issue is discussed here:

It seems that the actual red shirt tag does get removed when they leave NCAA, but the effect still remains - and never goes away. There doesn't seem to be any fix that a player can do. You may ask devs to fix your save file though.

I really hope this issue gets fixed in a future update as it's quite the hassle when it happens to a good prospect. It effectively removes that prospect from the game.

Yeah, we've fixed that bug, but it's also not a bad idea to make the redshirt status editable, I'll see if we can do that. And it's also odd that a player that good was redshirted, I'll take a look at the logic there.
