Goalie feedback
Please anybody at EA defend this after saying that you guys improve the goaltending in this game and I'm guessing you can't because they're terrible and you did nothing to improve them in fact they'r...

Honestly this needs more focus. Players with max speed don't even need to deke the goalie, they just go near post. The game was much better first couple weeks. It was harder to posess the puck, the gameplay was a bit sloppy, but that's what hockey is. Its not 2 wingers who are 5'7 160 lbs just blowing by the defenders and goalie every time. I wish they would try to revert the sliders back to where they were, and make builds of all sizes feasible again.
1) Absolutely unrealistically large number of redirect goals. Hockey has come down to just throwing the puck. Yesterday we played a tournament game. We scored 4 goals from the redirect, we scored two goals
2) Absolutely unrealistic a large number of goals from sharp angles and from negative angles. The goalkeeper presses against the pipe, but he is still thrown from an acute angle
3) It became impossible to play in close combat. any movement of the goaltender as the puck enters between the pads.
4) Something happened as goalkeepers (live) started to save almost all wrist throws and flicks while playing ribbons. There was no need to roll out again. The art and tactics of the goalkeeper are killed again. just stand on the ribbon and that's it.- There was no difference between a good goalkeeper and a bad one. Since the goalkeeper does not need to play aggressively now, he can just stand on the ribbon, and goals from the redirect will go into the frame anyway, it doesn’t matter if you are a good goalkeeper or not. I used to be considered a very good goalkeeper. Since it rolled out when necessary, rolled up when necessary and chose the right angle. Now this is not needed. Nothing depends on the goalkeeper. Stand on a ribbon. Washer to the left - you to the left. Washer to the right - you to the right. It became such a game of the goalkeeper. Absolutely pointless and boring. Now all living goalkeepers are almost the same.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, but next time, put some actual game clips together.. I'm not saying you're wrong, but how well was the defense playing in front of him? Did you have A.I. or human defense?
Yes, everyone began to play the same build with speed 93 and acceleration 93. It became pointless to make other builds when playing 6v6.
