Promoting a player from minors bug

sixto · 07-06-2026, 01:12 PM

If a player with an NHL contract is on the reserve list of my minor league affiliate, there is no option to promote him from the reserve list to the active minor league roster.

To add him to the active minor league roster, the only option offered is to promote the player to the NHL, then demote him to the active roster of the minor league affiliate.

I'm fairly certain that this is a bug, because the game offers us the option to move the player to the NHL roster twice in the menu. Presumably, one of these is meant to be the minor league active roster.

Even if this were working as intended, it's not very user friendly to have to go through a multistep process every time just to move a player to the active minor league roster from the reserves.

We can´t reproduce this. Could you give a little bit more detail or even upload a save?

If this photo loads, you can see how I produce this error in game. I am in a historical sim.

If not, I can upload my save.
