Create player for NHL entry draft

abqryan · 02-26-2019, 02:48 PM

I apologize if this has already been covered, I've poked around the board but been unable to find a search feature or this topic.

My questions are about creating a new player for the game.
I know I can create a player from the league edit screen, but I want to know more details.

I have tried a few times but am having troubles and the player I made disappears. I think maybe I am editing his age to be too young, or maybe he is too young to be a free agent but has no team so he's erased, I don't know.

Is there a minimum age limit a player can be?
How do I make sure he is included in the entry draft and the scouting reports?
Do I need to assign him to a minor team or development program or something?
Is there a specific date he needs to be created like how league rules can only be changed on July 1st?

Thanks in advance for any pointers or help!

As i know

-Creating a player like you said
-Check birthdate of player from the draft you want to add this new player and give him a date fitting for the draft
-Dont know if you need to put into a junior league, if not, normally during your season a junior team can sign him.
-Ive never get your problem instead of miss the birthdate of my player and he was on the next draft
