Started my first game yesterday. I started to make some trades and recruiting new staff to my team. I discovered some things what are bugs or at least strange. I play as Edmonton Oilers in standard game.
- There is two assistant coach in my team who name is Sylvain Rodrigue. They have same name, birthday and birthplace, so i'm guessing that it is same person, but made just twice. Their stats and contract length are different.
- Some players special abilities are not shown right way. New York Rangers Artemi Panarin has special ability called great deke, but when I try to look what it means or what it gives to player, it don't say anything, it only gives some strange sign/icon.
- There is free agent scout Dave Semenko, who has same birthday and other staff as real one who played in Edmonton during 80's. But problem is, he died 2017. So probably he shouldn't be at staff list anymore.
- There is some really strange supplementary roles assigned to some players, like example Ottawas Brady Tkachuk is policeman. I discovered some others too, but don't remember those anymore.
- Don't know is this bug or in purpose, but for some reason it is not possible anymore to put two lines have same icetime. Example in 5vs3 PP there cant be both line 1 and line 2 have 50% and 50% icetime.

Rodrigue's a duplicate, fixed now, thanks, and I retired Semenko.

Oops, Great Deke was the last addition to the Special Abilities, I think I forgot to write a tooltip for that, we'll add one.

The special teams line interface was changed so the top line always gets the largest share of the time (equal time wouldn't be that much of a problem, but people were trying to set splits like 20-80, which won't work properly with the line change logic and will produce strange results.)

Thanks for reply and fixing those bugs. I think that I discover new bug in training system today. If I pick player from waivers it will mess my training system. My guess is that player will have same training (mental, physical, defensive or offensive) in new team what he was having in old team and this is automatically selected. I'm sure that I haven't select any training to players what I picked from waivers, because I use them in fourth line or sometimes they are not even dressed. I also never train that many players in one category that my training power drops less than 10 and now couple of categories were less. Don't know does this same thing happen after trades also, I haven't tested or noticed that yet.

Yeah, it should be clearing the training when the player joins the team, we'll change that.
