I have a question....

I see one of the GM mode fixes with the update was....fixing where players that were considered wavier eligible, that should not be.

My question...I have several players with 2 way contracts that are still wavier eligible. Is it correct that some players with 2 way contracts can be wavier eligible?

Waiver eligibility has nothing to do with 1-way or 2-way contracts.

[Taku]

Depending on the age as determined above, a player is waiver eligible for a certain number of years from the year in which he signed his first contract, as shown below.

Goalies Skaters

Age Years Age Years

18 6* 18 5*

19 5* 19 4*

20 4 20 3

21 4 21 3

22 4 22 3

23 3 23 3

24 2 24 2

25+ 1 25+ 1

For anyone 20 or older, the year in which they play their first professional game is considered the first year counting towards the number of years they are exempt from waivers.

*If an 18 or 19 year old plays in 11 or more NHL games in a season, then the eligible period drops to 4 years for a goalie and 3 years for a skater, with the first year of that period being the year in which the player played 11 or more games.

(Example: Nazem Kadri & John Tavares both signed their first NHL contract as 18 year olds. However, Tavares has played more than 11 games as an 18 year-old. Therefore, Tavares is now waiver-exempt for 4 years (this year, and the 3 ensuing years), while Kadri is waiver-exempt for 6 (this year and the 5 ensuing, although this could change if he plays next season).

The other factor is games played. Once a player reaches the threshold (again based on the age at which they signed their first professional contract), they are eligible for waivers. The language of the CBA is very clear that while there are two distinct thresholds, this is an "earliest of" scenario. If a player reaches their games played mark before the reach the years mark (or vice versa), they become eligible for waivers.

That is from an article few years back from now, Tavares and Kadri mentioned as an example after their first season in the NHL.

i ll hope REDSHIRT will read this thread and we will see a new PATCH!?
Over the EA Forums there are a lot of guys with BIG problems after the "new" patch and Tuner v.1.06.

I ll test a few games more but for now i dont like NHL13.



Here are the most Problems (just my 2cents):

• speeds and agility are through the roof
• it feels like players are weightless now!
• seeing even more idiotic 180 degree angle short side than before
• faceoff loop (sometimes)
• cpu still 90-100% passing in the neutral zone
• The new skating system might as well not even exist anymore. All human skaters are back to being way too equal, especially getting around D-men
• hitting (physic engine) is still useless tho, works far better to just skate in there way so they run into u to slow down

I think there is more....


I actually did what Redshirt_EA recommended, about deleting your player profile and then redoing it. But with no success.


I ll try it again... (wont give up for now!)
