Putting a forward on the point on the PP HELP

[JamieLeeWV]

Ok, so basically i want Kovalchuk at the point whenever i am on the PP on my Devils GM save. I set this on my edit lines before a game but whenever i am in game he never comes out for the PP!, i have a look at my lines in game and he is set to be at the point along with another D man (Zidlicky) on PP line 1, and as he always stays on for the full 2 minutes in real life, i set him at the point again for PP line 2 this time along with Fayne.

But whenever i actually go on a PP he is replaced each time automatically by another one of my D men, which means the i have to play him at LW on the PP at the minute and i cannot for the life of me figure out why its doing this

Is the game just too dumb to let me put a forward on the point on a PP?, or am i doing something wrong?

The only thing I would suggest is doing it at the main menu, and setting your lines there, instead of before the game.

I have Jordan Staal running the point on my PP in my GM mode. Never had a problem with it.

Try changing it up in the menu, and if that doesn't work double check to make sure your assistant coach editing rosters is turned off. Should be an option for that somewhere, can't remember where.

some sort of glitch.. i had Malkin at center on PP1, then on PP2 i had him back on the wing. he would never be on PP1 for some reason, it would replace him with Staal. all the time!! i just thought i had it set wrong, but i didnt.

NHL 12 won't allow you to put a player on both powerplay units. If Kovalchuk is playing the point on PP1 and LW on PP2, he will be replaced by the comp on one of those units. New glitch this year. To double-shift Kovalchuk on the PP, you have to manually edit him into PP2 and take him off the point on PP1 before you make a line change.
