Playoff difficulty

Hi. I only play offline franchise mode. There are so many things wrong with it. But right now what really bugs me is that when playoffs begin the difficulty of the game changes so much. Suddenly it's another game.

It's a lot of work to set all the sliders and options the way so playing isn't too hard or too easy during the regular season and after updates...

Then the playoff starts and everything changes. Your players won't hit the goal and suddenly they can't pass the puck. (Passing is actually the worst part of NHL gameplay, though hockey is a team game). The other team will charge your D-men, so you can't get out of your own zone...

This shows more on AHL league, where players are not so talented. I often play with locked position but you can't in playoffs cause your teammates just play so slowly....

I'd understand tactical changes for the playoffs or so, but suddenly the team you beat maybe too easily in regular season, is superior to you. And what is worse, players in your team begin to play badly. 

I don't know. There's so much that isn't right in this game...

NHL14 was a good game...
