@marmalade72 The issue seems to impact all special line situations where you have under 5 men on the ice. The lines don’t stay as they are set even with the “coach edit lines” feature turned off.

Hi there, @marmalade72 When you say you're editing lines, are you just moving the players from one position to another or did you edit the faceoff to set which player takes them under specific conditions?

The issue is in offline season mode too. Even worse is you edit the lines and when you exit, it reverts back like the changes were never made. Hopefully someone fixes this soon.

@EA_Aljo the guy above missed out; it’s any time you don’t have 5 men on the ice (4 man power play, 4 man PK, 4 on 4 lines, 3 on 3 lines) it’s so annoying, please for the love of god fix this, and presentation mode 😅 that was one of the best parts of NHL 22, no idea why you guys stripped it

When can we expect this to be fixed?

How do you you edit the faceoff to set which player takes them under specific conditions? I see no option for this on franchise and edit penalty kill. I can only switch the players positions but they always revert back. Please note, this only happens with the PK and 4 on 4 lines. All others do as they’re instructed and stay how we set them. I should also mention the coach is not editing my lines as this feature is turned off. Thank you for your continued help with this frustrating matter.

Apologies for that. Lines can't be edited in Franchise mode. The team is aware of this, but I don't have an update at this time.

@EA_Aljo Oh and for the love of god, please sort the goalie out for the human team in offline game mode, I play on All-Star but my goalie is like Swiss cheese (Tristan Jarry) but it’s the same on my bruises career and anyone I use, if I play a game; they normally give up 3/4 goals on about 17 shots, it’s not even high scoring chance shots, it’s silly things like deflections, loose packs that slide across the crease and the get finshed ect. They are especially shocking against the computer in 1v1 breakaways, computer just dekes and changes direction at light speed and my goalie shrinks to about half size; computer scores 9 out of 10 1v1 breakaways; which is just not realistic

Hey Bro the same problem is in season mode where the wing switches to center and that mess do u know if it’s fixed or when it will be.

Same issue for PS5. I have to swap winger and centre positions for PK lines regularly. Really frustrating when you have a 65 faceoff rating winger losing draws in a 2-2 game so the cpu can snipe one up the pooper. C'mon EA this is simple
