Signing free agents when playing in Europe

Alright

So i've just purchased FHM 9. Have played the previous versions.

Playing in the second season with Stjernen in Norway. Starting on July 1, having simulated season 1, i find it almost impossible to sign North American players. Players who have played in Norway the season before will feature in the search, but it's not even possible to offer them a contract.

Why is that?

Ps. Theres no way to edit the league and the info on the league, says free agents : no

To edit the league enable comissioner mode in Manager Options. The edit button is at the bottome of the league menu

Mentioned the same thing in other 'not Top Tier' level leagues in europe (Hockeyallsvenskan, DEL2, even DEL) in FHM9.
I think there is something broken in the FA logic that keeps nearly every NA player out of FA market in August. It should get better later in the year (September, October).

If you play in Top-Tier Leagues in Europe (SHL, NL, Liiga) it´s better but not perfect.

Let´s wait for FHM10 if there is any change here.
