Turnover stats dont make sense.

I only play franchise mode offline, been trying different slider sets for years now to get gameplay and stats as realistic as possible without playing 20 minute periods.... the one stat I cant seem to figure out is turnovers. Giveaways and takeaway numbers are so inflated, more so for the takeaways. I play 4 or 5 games and all my players have career bests in takeaways. Ex... previous seasons Stateline says they got 28 takeaways in 82 games. I get that in like 5 games. After about a month,(12-15 games) everyone of my players doubles or triples any number of takeaways in any other year with supposedly real stat lines. The whole top ten in takeaways are my guys, even 4th liners who play less than 12 minutes..... why are these stats so inflated... giveaways dont always count as takeaways and takeaways dont always count as giveaways, In real life that is, some situations count as both a giveaway for offensive player and takeaway for defensive player. Not a huge issue with the game but its the one stat that I cant get to be realistic, no matter what I do with the sliders. Have everything else pretty close to realistic nhl stat lines, other then turnovers and the cpu games taking like 100 faceoff per game. Some players are taking 35-50 faceoffs per game. Most ive had was 67 total in one game and thats really forcing stoppage during gameplay.
