somethings wrong with the way euro teams are handling prospects

Playing a gm mode with current rosters and i just got to my first draft. Lots of the euro prospects are playing around 5 games or less on their teams. They sat on the bench for most of the year.

edit: It mainly happens in SHL/SML/KHL on good teams. It makes sense that the teams are playing other players over them but for some reason they aren't sending them down.

Can you post a couple of screenshots and upload the save? Specific player pages would be fine.

I went back to an earlier save and manually demoted them myself so the pics wouldn't reflect what i reported. Do you still want the pics? The ones i noticed were top end prospects, Holtz,Raymond,Askarov.

There's defiitely a problem in the way the game handles this kind of players. I can't really talk for other league, but in the KHL the situation is far from being ideal (and judging by the thread starter, it seems to be very similar). For some reasons, the teams don't like to move players around, and they just have them in the first team without using the farm and especially the junior affiliations. The rust effect and the suspensions improved the situation as some players in FHM5 would literally play zero games a season, while in FHM6 they often range from 8-10 games a season, but that is certainly not enough. Teams should be more aggressive with moving players up and down and sign a higher number of young players as they tend to dry up fast as we move into season three or four
