The idea is that you still have certain yearly goals for your player, and assuming you picked a top-tier player, the goals would be something like "Score 50 goals" and "Win the Art Ross Trophy". I can't seem to find it this year, and am afraid I bought the game to find they removed it. If that's the case I may just return the game tomorrow or try out Franchise mode and see if it's playable for me, as long as there is a player lock option. I have zero interest in starting a player from scratch and doing the whole minors and draft thing. I also have zero interest in controlling more than one player during a game. I just don't want to put in the time of 1-3 seasons before getting to the NHL. Ideally, I'd like to control one existing player, with the ability to 'sim to next shift' and start at the preseason of the 2015-16 NHL season. Otherwise, I'll have to wait till MLB '16 The Show before my next sports title.

You can always choose the option to choose a team and get right into the preseason. You still have to create a pro though and I don't think your ratings will be as high as an elite level player like Kopitar.
