Now some of this makes a lot of sense but there is a problem. Doing the bare minimum on the ice (which is weird considering you're trying to get promoted to the next line) also allegedly effects your ice time. Then when you get benched for a period or two and can't even do the bare minimum to boost your score you get punished. Right now it's a lose-lose situation and we haven't heard anything from EA in a week and a half about what the cause of this is since the people who paid $100 have been reporting it since day one early access.
In real life, if you score a goal on the 4th line, block shots or do something else for the team, you will immediately be promoted to the higher lines. Or even to the power play. In the 3rd line, I am only played shorthanded even though I am a playmaker, not a defensive player. This is also in some ways the wrong way to operate in the game. So the problem is not only 4th line ice time. The problem is also the respect for what you do on the ice. As has been seen, this year's Bre a pro does not give you any respect for what you do on the ice because your career is decided in advance. This is like a movie you live with... Every hockey player hate this.
