Community ManagerI don't play Franchise Mode so can't relate to that. When I have played AI teams in the past, I experienced the AI ramping it up in the dying minutes of a game when they were behind, as you mentioned. Most games did not go to OT though since I adjusted my play to counter their aggressive offense.
Were those 14 losses all simmed games?
Yes it was simmed games and this have happend to me a few times, i only play between 2-5 games a season still can’t enjoy the game.
I have notis that you can change the game if you turn off without saving the game… sim will be diffrent every time and it can really make a big difference.
other thing i have noticed is if you make a bad team to get higher in the draft your team will win games after the deadline so you end up with about 30 wins… you get pick between 9-17 usually and always demoted one step… this is very common.
I usually start over in franchise mode 2030/2032 because after that many faces are starting to disappear and you just get confused when you can’t recognise any players. Almost all draft picks after first round with top 6 or elite have 70 in skating and never gonna be anything even if you train them on skates, Most defenders are top 6 in the game and want 6-8 million so the game is not so fun when you get a bit into it.
Community ManagerUnfortunately, I'm not familiar with how Franchise Mode plays out. I can just comment on the actual gameplay. I'll pass on your feedback to the team. Thank you.
