Goalie / Defender

Post by seldon71 »

As I was researching Slovenian Elite League, I came up with very peculiar player in GREGA SEBJANIC of HK Bled.

Between 2013-2016 he played a total of 52 games as a defenseman in either Inter-National League or Slovenian Elite level... Than in 2016-17 he suddenly transferred to between the goalposts and played 137 minutes as a goalie while stopping shots at bad, but respectable 83 % clip.

Does the code of the game understand if a player is multi-positioned as a goalie/defenseman?

I've never actually tried to combine goaltender with any other position, or heard of it being done; I don't think it would work.....

There was a similar situation with a former Invicta Dynamos goalie who played as a forward for the affiliate team. I ended up making him a goalie only (as that was his position for the main team). I can't remember whether the game otherwise allowed goalie/forwards or goalie/defencemen. It's worth a try though.

I just loaded up the editor to test and set this and it looks like the game just defaults him to a skater.
