1-3-1 power play strategy basically gone from franchise after the patch

the 1-3-1 power play formation is basically gone from franchise after the patch. I have tried creating a new franchise multiple times with multiple teams. Even with teams that run a 1-3-1 in real life. It just alternates between shooting or overload for the powerplay now. And none of the available coaches have the 1-3-1 as their preferred power play strategy. Sure I can set it as my power play formation for played games but it will never be your head coaches preferred strategy.

 

What I noticed was before the patch most of the coaches preferred power play strategy was blank. So most franchise saves we’re using the 1-3-1 set up as their preferred PP strategy. So it’s essentially gone for the user. Some CPU teams still seem to run it, but if you hire there coach it always comes out as shooting or overload.

 

Somehow they managed to break this with the last patch and now the one “BIG” add we get for franchise is gone.

    I'm not lying about this being investigated. You're welcome to submit your thread again. 

  • @EA_Aljo Your lying that it was too late to be investigated before the patch, I gave you specifics that prove you were aware of it, and side stepped the question.

    Patches take weeks to release. This issue was discovered too late to be investigated, fixed, tested and certified. Patches aren't released overnight for consoles. They take time.

    “Take weeks to release”

    @EA_Aljo  is it safe to say that we can pretty much kiss the 1-3-1 power play goodbye from our game for the next 2-4 weeks then?

    That’s crazy.  So the one big add for franchise was basically useable for a month, and is now gone until December. Yeah, I think I’m done

    It's amazing how they were bragging about their strategies this year and it blew up in their face.

    @RSall14 Not to mention in franchise mode as GM you can no longer change strategies they're all grayed out. And True Broadcast has been changed to high broadcast. Let us create our own custom view angles. You can watch a replay from anywhere and custom angles used to be part of the game, like everything else they took out.
