Yeah Spez, turn coaching editing lines thingy to no or minimal at least. Still lets you choose to have the AC replace a player and do a best lines, but if you purposely move a player to a top line or dress a high potential player in place of a higher rated one, it messes that up.

Also, make sure you meet the cap floor or are under cap when entering season, otherwise if you are under, they will raise salaries and guys making 500K are now making 1M. It sucks. And I didn't find this out till late, but dont just qualify players. First check by negotiating new contract to see ow much they want, it may be less than it costs to qualify them.

A cheap way to retain players... cheaply... lol.... is to offer them huge long term deals and offer them more than they are asking. So if you have to re-sign a guy now that you know will be really good, and they want $2M, offer them like $4M for 8 yrs, cause they will ask for $11M later.

Just lost 5-0 online to the Habs.

So you not only got it, you got it early. Does this mean you also got Season Ticket, paying the extra $25. And you did all this instead of buying a copy of NHL 11 for $30 new. That's almost paying triple for what a game you said had only a couple of tweaks, and you would not buy and support their laziness.
