One thing that has been a problem is the following:
My league plays a five minute OT if tied after regulation (5 on 5) and if the game is still tied it goes down as a draw. I noticed that there were very few draws so I looked at the boxscore of a few tie games. Each game had a 20 minute instead of a 5 minute OT. I thought I had set this up correctly but continued to sim until July so that I could check the values. Sure enough OT was set for 20 minutes. I changed it to 5 and hit SAVE and noticed it go right back to 20 minutes. The Minor league was the same thing. This looks like a bug.

Another thing that bothered me: two teams tied at the end of the regular season for the division lead at 91 pts. Team1 was 44-27-3, Team2 was 45-26-1. Team 1 was declared division champ. As far as I know (in the NHL at least) the first tie-breaker is wins which would have made Team2 the division champ. Can someone tell what the game uses to break ties?

One other point. I noticed a player that was a third round draft pick with a status of "Signing Not Possible". What does that mean?

Thanks for reading!
The first tie-breaker in the NHL is regulation wins.
