Be a Pro - rosters, grading, energy, and salary

Overall, the improvements to BaP are great. The gameplay has way better flow to it without those pointless cut scenes discussing trips to the park and paying for movie tickets, etc. Please keep improving BaP mode!

It's been mentioned on the forum a lot already, but please please please address the following:

1. Progressing from the 4th to 3rd line is basically impossible at higher difficulties without resorting to quit/relaunch tactics. The coach routinely benches the 4th line for the 3rd period. Sometimes the 2nd period too. Once you're on the 3rd line, the game is actually enjoyable. 
2. Please fix the energy system. We shouldn't need to weigh the multi-game impact of sprinting for a loose puck in a match. Putting together 8 straight high-rated games when you're completely exhausted in at least 2 of them is not reasonable. I put all my trait points into endurance categories as soon as I could and bought all the perks that had endurance bonuses and I'm still exhausted after a couple games. Need to sim half the matches just to save energy (since apparently the sim version of me doesn't ever sprint for pucks?).
3. Why is there a separate grading system for in-game coaching grades and the 0-100 grades? It makes no sense to get an A overall but 8/100 because I didn't score a goal. There should be one consistent grading system that (ideally) doesn't just reward goals/assists. 
4. Perks during the off-season need to be fixed. It's super annoying to have to deselect all the perks during the summer (or let them burn through all your cash since the character isn't being paid). At least auto-pause the perks between seasons. 
5. My line mates seem to randomly fall in love with the ol' dump and chase. Even on a fresh line when I'm skating a few feet in front of them and have an open lane into the zone, one of the forwards will step over center and hammer the puck around the boards for a quick turnover. Please fix this. We shouldn't have to call for passes before other forwards hit the center line just to avoid endless turnovers, especially since the game doesn't provide nearly enough energy for dump and chase foot races to be an effective strategy.

Thank you.
