missing FA's

1. Game crashed and when i loaded back up and tried to sign Ovechkin in my game he no longer appeared in the 'Free Agents Center, but if i specifically searched for him i could offer a contract (Save File = PinkOgre1)

- Just noticed after simming 1 day ahead some players reappeared, must have been refusing Na contract on day 1 FA but i know for a fact they both were on my Fa list(day1) before my game crashed.

2. I also had a previous problem that i reported earlier = "had some Russian players open to signing but refusing 2 way contracts, right after their draft and also a couple year later. Is this related to the RFA contract problems that had a fix in this patch or are they just wanting more money.? It's odd because they end up signing contracts in Sweden instead, and for way less money."

-i should note that i was able to sign them after they signed a 1 year in Sweden.

Got the save, thanks. I think the issue is that Ovechkin has decided he wants to return to Europe (I get the message that he's not willing to sign with an American team when I try to sign him), and since you're playing as Detroit, he may be getting excluded from the free agent pool visible to you on that basis.

Malte did find a fix a problem with players being incorrectly exempted from entry-level contract rules (and thus refusing 2-way contracts), so that was likely the cause of the earlier problem, but I'm in the process of testing right now to see if anyone is still slipping through.

ya i think that's what happened, it's just odd that before my game crashed he was on the list and willing to sign.
