I believe there was a question at the beginning of franchise mode asking if you want the computer to help edit lines when injuries or trades occur. I was new to the game and clicked yes. Is there a way to turn this off? It's frustrating that I have to completely redo all of my lines, special teams units, etc. whenever someone gets hurt. This happens probably 20 times a season (not even exaggerating) because it redoes everything when a player gets hurt, returns, and when he is fully healthy. One of my top 9 forwards (who I like to play on the second line and on a PP unit) keeps getting scratched because the system won't play him on a wing for some reason. This is incredibly frustrating and I don't want to start the franchise mode over just to fix this problem. There's also young guys in the AHL that I want playing over "better" AHL veterans but the system keeps scratching the young guys as well. This is incredibly frustrating and I don't want to start the franchise mode over just to fix this problem.

if you go to settings in franchise mode, there's options for turning off rotating goalies, assitant coach edits lines etc.
