exactly.
season mode should be in the first update.

So why not just start a playoff then sim the games where your team isn't involved and play the ones that it is?

This. Where is our patch notes for this EA? Can someone at OS ask them since they seem to only respond to you.

LOL to season mode. There is a season mode. It's called Be a GM. I'm happy to see a playoff mode and hope significant improvements are made to Be a GM before a generic "season" mode is implemented.

I for one have just seen one small change that I like. I believe the last game I played on Saturday I had my backup goalie in. It was nice to see the starter automatically back in the net the following game (if memory services correct). Also the game stats are present. They would come and go at times, hope it sticks this time.

ummm, no. Season Mode is special because you can play an entire season controlling multiple teams in any league. Be a GM is restricted to single-team control in the NHL. its completely different
