      Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

      Played the 42nd game in my Sens franchise last night against the Blues (I've only played about 10 or 11 games and simmed the rest).

      Tarasenko scores and I'm amazed to see it's his 30th goal of the season.
      I love how the updated goal totals are back in this game.
      Then on the next face-off, they flash the top 10 goal scorers in the league and show that Ovechkin is the only player ahead of him with 31.

      Later in the game, after Neil destroys Bouwmeester in a fight (that leaves him injured - yes!), they show the top PIM leaders and Neil is 4th.

      It's that kind of thing that helps make me believe I'm part of a larger world and not just playing 82 separate games.

      My only complaint is that they don't keep those stats up their long enough. I only had enough time to take in the first 3 or 4 names on the list.

      Lost the game 6-3. I was actually only down 4-3 when guests popped-in and I let my son and his buddy finish the game.
      Apparently he spent the rest of the game taking penalites and starting fights, haha.

      Bobby Ryan scored 2 goals which helped increase his morale. He was feeling down because of his low offensive production, so that was nice to see.
      His first goal was a beaut. Took a pass from Jagr, flew down the right wing and just unleashed a rocket into the top corner. I didn't even try to make a move, do a leg-kick fake, just wound up and fired it home.
      His 2nd goal was a great PP goal setup by Turris, I managed to deke around two defenders, and slid the puck to a wide open Ryan for the easy tap-in.

      Tarasenko scored another goal as did Scwhartz and Shattenkirk.
      Not sure who my son let score, haha.

      I'm going with Hammond from now on. Anderson started the game and gave up 3 pretty weak goals.
      He's been pretty bad for me all year so it's Hamburgler time!

As for free agents to avoid this I sign them after starting the season and also any players u want from other teams you need to move to team your substituting and then go to edit custom team and add the player from say buffalo (sub team) to your created roster. Then start franchise. I have no duplicate players this way
        Thank you very much! Still ridiculous to be setup this way! Should be able to create team, select roster and the players you select should move from the team to your created team.Instead of them basically copying and pasting from chosen roster to created team's roster.

        None the less, I will give your option a try, when I have some time. It is time intensive!

          Ya took awhile but it's definitely worth it. I have zero duplicates and the sabres are nowhere to be found. I also put datsyuk on some DEL team so he's not playing for Arizona lol. Only complaint I have is all my opposing team captains turn to an alternate and now no cpu team has a captain just 3 As lol

            I'm dying to go home to play some more. Can't remember the last time I said that about an EA hockey game.
            So your also seeing the captain/assistant captain issue? Or just once? 20 teams in my franchise now don't have a captain.. 3 A's instead. Lmao

              No I believe you can only substitute an nhl team with a created team. And there is no chl logo options in create a team. Only the nhl logos, retros, and the same generic ea logos that have been recycled in nhl and Madden since like 2000. Therefore I think your SOL.

                Has anyone else experienced strange players on their roster after relocation?
                Datsyuk contract is being paid by Arizona as they needed to take it for cap space etc. Just throw him onto a DEL or Liiga team before starting your franchise it will solve this. You'll also notice you have Chris Pronger I believe on Arizona too. Move him as well haha

                  LOL, yes I am.
                  Now and then, I have to reset Karlsson as my Captain.
                  Such a weird bug.
                  I would hope it's not something that can't be fixed with a patch down the line.

                    Ah I wish mine was just affecting my team. Easily can change it back. When it's the CPU teams though your screwed for the remainder of the franchise.. Lol

                      Yeah, it sucks that you can't alter the rest of the teams in the league.
                      But I'm confident a patch will fix the issue. Hopefully.

                            Well, I am only 2 games into my franchise as the Avalanche. I lost a close on in game one, but got hammered 5-0 by the Pens in game 2. I had zero offensive flow against Pittsburgh, but I almost feel like that is realistic. I am playing on full simulation mode and really enjoying the game so far. I am also playing the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference during the same franchise and am 1-1 with the Canes. My defense was way better as the Canes, but I don't feel that any opponent can be as tough as the Pens, so we will see.

                              Can you guys comment on the dynamic attendance? Does it affect the crowd noise? Can you see empty seats?
