When manually transfering players in commissioner mode the assistant doesn't recognize them

[herm1978]

If I move a player from another team to my team then my assistant will not place him on any line when I ask him to set lines.

He'd rather play with less than 20 players... Maybe he doesn't like to "steal" other teams players

The assistant knows more than me or you. He knows the game will crash if you start adding players to other teams. At least that's what has happened so far in my experience.

Guess I should be happy to have such an assistant then!

Just wanted to say I've seen similar things, I've started games with the Caps and forced Kuznetsov to transfer over and then if leaving things to the assistant he always seems to dress him (as the 21st player?!) but never actually puts him in any lineup or plays him.

May be a stupid question, but are you sure you are dressing the player after you manually transfer him?

Yes, but this even occurs when, through manager settings, I've assigned lineup and roster responsibilities to the assistant.

Yup

Look at the player card and make sure he is assigned a "team role" I transfered a player, dressed him and he wasnt put on any of my lines. When I looked at the players card there was nothing assigned in team role, I changed it to normal player reran the assistants help in setting up lines and he appeared.

Oh good point! Will try that out when I get home, thanks!

Just curious, did that solve your problem?

Team status? Does not change anything for me and it was already assigned.
