"Replace with" in LINES screen

HockeyEagle · 10-24-2025, 10:28 AM

The "Replace with" option (in the right-click menu) for a player with another player is greyed out and does not work with me.

I have setting lines set to manual in options, so it should work...

You're not trying to use it on a player that's not currently dressed, right? That should be the only time it's greyed out.

If not, could you upload your save? I think we'll need to see that to figure out what's going wrong.

Nope, its always greyed out. I tried with dressed or undressed players.

File is up: DEL_2025.10.23_03.lg.rar

I am running as GM, however "Setting Lineups" is set to manual. And I can change everything else with the lines... It worked in FHM11..

Very strange, I can fix it by entering commissioner mode, switching to another team, and then doing the same thing to go back to your original team. After that, replace is no longer greyed out and works properly. So that'll correct it for your game for now, but it shouldn't be happening in ther first place. We'll investigate and try to see what caused it.

Hmm, if this workaround fixes the problem maybe it is caused by me starting as gm/headcoach. Then hiring a head coach to switch to gm only and setting lineups back to me (manually) messed up something.
