I read on another forum this is a problem the developers are working on. In the meantime make sure you're not playing at a pro level, be all-star or more, and make sure you're not also being a bad player while scoring goals, and do what you are supposed to do. Positioning matters, so don't be a defenseman who's never back when there is a play coming down. If you're a playmaker make some assists too. If you're an enforcer have some fights. Don't take too long of shifts, don't take too many offsides. Don't take too many penalties. Block some shots. If you're out for PK clear some shots. It's more than just goals that counts. Try those until the bug is fixed if you'd like.
I read someone else who said he plays on Superstar and always gets drafted. And I play on All-Star and got sent down twice, but kept up my third and fourth times. It might be a bug and the develepors are looking into it, but the idea for me was in the meantime that might be the trick. Also if you go up to All-Star or Superstar and get in the NHL, you can move down to Pro in your settings afterwards if that does the trick for you.
I have been playing live the life for two seasons now and my first season I scored 181 points with the kelowna rockets and we won the memorial cup and then came the draft and i was drafted 1 overall by the philly flyers whitch i thought was coo.l And then i simmed trough most of the pre season like i had in nhl 13 be a pro and i got the message saying i was being sent down and i understood i figured i should of played more of the games. So then I play a whole season again in kelowna and got 114 points and then simmed up to the pre season were I played every game, and made sure I payed my position, blocked shots,passed and bodychecked. I ended up finishing the pre season with 23 points more than double any other player. Then when I went to play the last pre season game and i have been told yet again im being sent down. Now that is buuuull**bleep** and very unrealistic. I know longer feel like ven playing anymore despite being very excited for live the life this needs to be fixed pre season is impossible to get by.
Ya it deffiently sucks especialyy since there was no such problem with this in nhl 13 I dont know what they changed but its real annoying and ruins the game mode at this pace my rookie season for the nhl is going to be when im 30 and plus all the players like datsyuk,sedins, brodouer are all going to be retired so I wont get to play gainst them, lol might not evenplay against crosby and ovechkin they might retire.
