How's your Franchise Mode Going?

Felt that I almost gave up on this game,no matter how it was set up slider wise.
To fast,to sharp,my getting stucked along the boards,never being able to skate free,always being caught with a last minute touch when having a 100% scoring chance.

But lowered game speed/acc/skating speed+cranked up both fatigue and fatigued recovery to 85-90.
Now the game plays amazing,very "realistic"

I'm having fun with my coyotes,only 8-9 games in,hovering around .500 so it's challenging.

One question,I did set my "owner always accept relocation" to on,and now I'm not being able to ask for a relocation.
Any answer to that?
I was able to ask for it at the start,up to the start of th reg season

Just had an intense playoff Game 1 vs Minnesota, where I tie it up 4-4 with 40 seconds left. We go into OT and it's 3v3 and then shootout? WTF??????

I know for a FACT I selected continuous OT when I started franchise mode and this has happened two years in a freaking row!

Why can't we at LEAST change this setting in franchise mode? The only way to look at this setting is to start a new franchise - I did that for giggles and it defaults to continuous OT, so there is NO way I changed it. Now I do change slider settings in global mode and that shows normal OT with 3v3 and then shootout, but nowhere in there can you change playoff OT settings.

What a freaking BUMMER!!! No way in heck am I going to a 3v3 and then shootout in a playoff game.

See you all when NHL 18 comes out, if I even buy it. I'm so burned out on this franchise and stupid things like not being able to change a setting like this in your franchise. If there is way PLEASE tell me how to do it.

Well.. I've read the playoff OT issue might be a glitch and some say your next tie game should have proper OT rules, so I'll continue on for now. We win 5-4 in OT to go up 1-0 in the series.

Good to hear.
Hope you do well.
I'm only 3 games in since I restarted with the new rosters.

I've become addicted as the season draws to a close. My Leafs are 3 points behind Florida and 2 points ahead of third place Montreal. I've played every game, I feel I'm at the top of my game going into that couple of weeks. There's a part of me though that hopes to finish second or third to get a playoff series against Montreal.

I'm 3-2-0 with my coyotes,and you can really feel it's a weak team.
Games are so hard,but fun,playing a few other sports games and it being to easy kills the game.
But this one proves a challenge.
Hopefully rebuild my franchise in 5 seasons.
Great fun

Think I need to crank up my passing acc a bit,I'm having around 60% acc and CPU around 80,or maybe lower CPU difficulty slider a notch.

Just bought the game for $20 yesterday. Not a big NHL guy but enjoy playing with friends and just playing around. I want to start a franchise mode but have no clue who to even use. I like to rebuild or pick a team that could have a chance to be the last seed to make the playoffs. Could some of you guys help me out and give me some teams for example? I'd like to get started tonight!

Thanks in advance.
