Can't find player

I look through the whole game roster and I can't find Bridgeport Sound Tigers Players Brett Neumann and Kyle Maclean. Both should be on the AHL Roster. I checked their Juniors teams but they are no where to be found.

Anyone know where they are?

    I have come to find out that we don't have their rights currently. That's why they aren't available. Hopefully, that'll change, but I don't have any additional details.

    Hi there, @Sparky_NY1.

    I see both of them were just traded to Bridgeport last month. I'm not seeing them on their previous team either so it's possible we don't have the rights to have them in the game. I'm trying to get confirmation of this. When I have some news, I'll let you know. It might not be for a few days though.

  • @EA_Aljo Wouldn't that be the case if they were and USHL or NCAA player? Both played in the OHL on Oshawa the last few years.

    For example, Nick Pastujov on Bridgeport played in the NCAA at Michigan, so he would need to be created.

    Lots of players disappear once the AHL season starts, even if they were in the game before. They also can’t add AHL players as soon as they play a game like they could with the NHL, I believe they have to sign a waiver or something to be put back in the game for some weird reason. This makes it quite frustrating to have to wait for months in order to use the most accurate rosters possible.

  • Would be cool if there was a search player option for offline rosters like there is in HUT.
