GM Connected - Players missing after trade
In a GM Connected PS3 league I traded for a player. The team I traded with ended up with the player he traded for but I didn't end up with the player I traded for. Where is the player I traded for?

Community AdminHeya everyone,
After investigating your reports further, the issue still appears to be that your team has gone above either the salary cap or the roster limit. If you are over the limit during a tick advance, the game will automatically attempt to resolve this violation, either by placing the player on waivers or by releasing them.
Now if the player is released, he will be going to Free Agency at the start of the next NHL season in the GM Connected league. Then they can be resigned, but they will not be shown on a roster until then.
We hope this clarifies the situation and you should able to confirm this once your GM Connected league reaches its next NHL season.
In the past, the CPU would automatically reject this trade if it violated cap, or roster size. Our guys have made straight across 1 for 1 deals, and players have gone missing, completely from the game. Don't even show up in player stats.
As Nils said, if you go over the cap and the players cannot go on waivers, the computer does not reject the trade for you in GMC. The players may be released and will show up as free agents the next season.
When this happens it seems like they are basically invisible and won't show up on any roster. They will come back but not until the next full season. Really the best way to avoid this is to stay under the cap and manage your team accordingly. The game really should alert you when this happens, but its avoidable at least.
Taylor disappeared in my Gm Connected league during the resigning phase after the the very first season. His contract was not up for review. POOF. gone. There was no trade at this time. Also, previously in the season Marian Hossa disappeared. No trade was made involving him but there may have been one involving his team.
Same thing happened with us & Nick Leddy. The team had made a team, not involing him. The team was 4M over the space after the traded had been approved. They've since lost Leddy & Toews... Which combined is much more than 4M. Doesnt make sense.
