Goalkeeper movement needed to go. It's worked for you at times but it certainly worked again many a time.
FC/FIFA was better before this was added. EA must have been brainstorming and decided let's let them move the keeper. It was a bad idea and poorly implemented. It's been abused by those who refused to defend or wanted to learn. Everyone should have to use defenders when required. And tbh the best players know how to control defenders and defend.
The GK movement was too fast and looked stupidly unrealistic. It had to go and needs to stay gone. Movement from corners and freekicks is fine. If you want to rush them that is also fine.
EA tried a stupid feature back in like 2011-2012 time with a stupid feature that actually allowed you to take control of the keeper (Such a terrible idea) people used to switch to the keeper when they lost the ball and the AI would steal the ball back then they took over the outfield player again. EA have put some stupid things in this game in the passed. And where this GK movement wasn't as bad as the iteration I just mentioned but still a bad idea.
And to anyone claiming GK movement was a skill or is a skill issue. IT WASN'T. It was abuse and lazy defending and then moving the Goalkeeper to bail them out and prevented people from scoring a chance they have created. If you can't defend you deserve to concede goals. Period.
