I've played European leagues. I control every team, sim the regular season and play only playoffs. In German DEL league the second game of Straubing and Berlin went to overtime. They played a short 3 on 3 overtime with shootout. After that the second game of Köln and Iserlohn went to overtime. They played a continuous overtime, as it should be. Same thing happened in Finnish Liiga in a couple of games. Different teams, different overtime rules. Is there any game mode that's not ruined by this kind of bugs?

    I found out that the overtime rules (both regular season and playoffs) will change randomly, if I make changes to gameplay sliders during the season. That shouldn't be the case, because I can't find any option to change the overtime rules back. When starting the season I can set the overtime rules but not in the middle of the season. If I reduce skating speed or goalie reactions or whatever gameplay settings it shouldn't affect the rules, but now it ruins the overtime settings and I can't change them back.
