Seems like the modes I enjoy playing are still broken. I never bought '11 because Be a GM is broken and the Be a Pro always seems to be broken.

I have '10 and my overpowered first year pro scored 65 goals between the AHL and NHL and my team decided they didn't want to sign me because I wasn't progressing or some such nonsense. I went back this past week to play '10 and started a fantasy draft Be a GM. Lost the cup final in year 1 and in year 2 I had a bunch of prospects ready for full time duty. In order to fit these guys under the cap I had to dump salary. All well and good except I'll be damned if I could do it. No word of a lie after being frustrated in trying to move players in bad trades (for me), I tried to make the ultimate bad trade: Crosby for a 5th round pick. NO team would take him. Either he wasn't what they were looking for or they didn't want to take on more one-way contracts.

I quickly remembered why I gave up on '10 very early. Really doesn't look like I'll be getting '12. First time EVER I've gone two seasons without getting the game. Guess I'll be continue with Fifa as my sports game this year. At least with Fifa Be a Pro you get some sense of accomplishment while improving the skill of your player and working your way up through the leagues.
