Backup goalie start in Finals

Hey,

Found a bug where in GM only mode, riding my No.1 goalie through playoffs but once in finals coach decides to put back up in goal and lose every game. No way to change the settings either.

Tough to tell what exactly happened there without seeing the exact circumstances, e.g. the starter being fatigued in game 1 or playing poorly prior to that. Once the AI makes a starter switch in the playoffs, he's likely to use the same goalie in subsequent games, so that's likely why he continued to go with the backup if the backup played reasonably well despite losing. Do you still have a save from before that season ended? (Or one fairly early in July, I might be able to get the older data from the rolling save.) Having a look at that might give me a better idea of what exactly happened.

I dont have a save it got overridden but I'll make multiple saves in next season's Playoffs in case it happens again.

Thanks for being on top of this!
