No fighting in franchise mode?!

[Johan]

Just got done creating my Hartford Whalers and started editing equipment and noticed that every player has Never as their fighting status?! Don't know if this is known since before but what the hell!?!?!

Weird. They'll probably still fight though if you initiate. BTW, to initiate fights start double tapping the Y button EVEN BEFORE it shows the players lining up for the faceoff. I just recently figured that out and now I can fight pretty regularly.

I have played 10 games so far with a relocated team. I have Andreoff, Ferland and Garbutt. I have not been able to initiate one fight in any game. Have tried against Simmonds from Philly, Raves from St. Louis and Engelland from Cal (?)...all willing guys in real life..I have double tapped before a faceoff, I have shot the puck on goal after an offsides, tried to engage after a whistle..noting at all...something is definitely wrong, quite possibly with a relocated/created team..but I also couldn't start a fight in a couple franchise games as Florida before I relocated either...fight frequency sliders are maxed..

I'm having the same issue with my leafs. However when I first started franchise there was fighting. Quite a bit. Now I can't start anything. Haven't fought for 3 seasons. With Mat friggin Martin

Pretty much same thing, just going into the playoffs and had 1 fight in the last 30 games.

Gonna edit all players who should have a fighting status on all teams to see if it makes any diffrence. I'll let you know the results
