The game plays its best in season or road to backbreaker mode. You have to reset setting from within option menu in both modes to see better results. I played 2 games in season mode before I discovered that there was an issue if you dont reset the settings. I had set difficulty and quarter time while starting season mode but it doesnt register unless you go into options menu on your teams home page. Change the quarters from 1 to 5 min and mode from arcade to pro. I know you did not have 1 min quarters when you played your first games in either of these modes it doesnt matter the system is still not running correctly until you reset time and mode.
