Hi there

I just noticed that some teams play their backup goalie in NHL playoffs and starting goalie is not injured.

As I said in title the game overall is great but that details is unrealistic and i know you agree guys.

Still good job developpers, the AI is even better than in FHM 3 (especially for AI team trades i'd say).

We're working on an update to address the issue with backups maybe playing a little too much.

Thnks but look like it's still an issue. I think some teams just play the hottest goalie whatever their rate wich leads to the issue.

That would require an extremely high priority on using the hottest goalie and very low ones elsewhere. Possible, but very unlikely. What sort of examples are you seeing in your game?

Corey Crawford was not playing in playoffs and played around 20 games in season 2018-2019 in Chicago. backup was rated 2 stars and Crawford didnt suffer injury. But I think there have been an upgrade after the update of the version cause i saw more backup doing all the playoffs game in my 1rst season.

One thing that is keeping me from playing the game is the lineup selection. I haven't experienced too much of a problem with goalies but player selection is driving me nuts!!

Playing as the Sens and Boucher slots Mark Stone 3rd line. Burrows 1st line.
Borowiecki 1st or 2nd pairing.

I know that Guy Boucher is a defensive coach, but everyone knows that Stone is light years better than Burrows, regardless of whatever system a coach runs. Boro should also not be getting more than 15 minutes a game. Tops

Before someone says play as Head Coach then, I don't want to. I actually prefer being just the GM and letting my coach/manager (in OOTP) run the day-to-day lineup selection.

Why not try a different coach? Also does Stone play well on the 3rd line?
