Issues with lines and stratiegies

In franchise mode, during gameplay, my strategies change when I start actually playing. My coaches style is defensive, 1-4 trap, very conservative. I set my lines amd everything, then go to start a game. During gameplay my strategies completely change and force me to use my ahl coach strategy. Which is very aggressive. This started about a week about, old franchise even with a new one. Then last night I went to play and it was back to normal, I could use the right strategy during gameplay again, but when I turned it on this morning, same thing as before, it keeps automatically switching my nhl strategies to my ahl strategies at the screen before I start game. Getting really annoying as it really messes with my gameplay. I have no idea why or what is causing it. Anyone else experience this or know what I am talking about? New to forums...
