Community ManagerHey, @Dreyhj
While the feedback is appreciated, there's not much we can do with it. If you could be more constructive and point out how they are bad, that would help. So would some video. If you see something you'd like to report, that would be the best way to let us know what issues you're facing. Thanks!
One situation in particular is every time a player is skating across zone and shoots on his forehand the goalie follows him gets out of position and the player scores far side. Any shot that is screened the goalie is wildly out of position and usually gets scored on, and even one timers that aren’t cross creases where the goalie is in position, they just won’t save it, there could be literally near zero room for the player to put the puck and the goalie won’t move at all and they’ll score. Next time I play, I’ll try to get video of really bad goals.

Thanks for the details. That helps a lot. If you happen to get video, please post it. Appreciate the feedback!
- @EA_Aljo Can I just upload an entire game we played last night where we absolutely dominated the opposing team? We doubled their shots, had like 3x the time on attack and lost 8-4 because their goalies was diving across the net left and right saving well set up plays, and then they would just come down the ice, skate into the goalie, forget to shoot, and score.
They goalies are way overprogrammed to stop actual hockey plays, and peewee level against broken stuff or anything else.
https://youtu.be/AFib23nchQI This has been happening to me constantly in D3. Goalie interference and it was a goal. Lost 5 games to this.
I disagree. goalies are much better than they were in the beta. you can still abuse the cheese but its much harder due to the increased D ability.
I mean any of the devs, or anyone curious about what’s wrong with the goalies can just go watch any streamer on twitch playing at a high level, and immediately see that almost all of them complain about the goalies determining wins and losses.
These goalies are making saves they have no business making on actual skilled plays, yet the only way to consistently score is complete RNG non skilled plays like rebounds, tips, or just driving it into the net without shooting.
This game is going to be a laughing stock at the GWC if these goalies aren’t changed. There’s almost no skill or reward left in playing this dumpster fire of a game
Go online look at leader boards skaters shooting percentage to goalie save percentage good goalies should be. Around 85save percentage to 87 good skater shooting percentage should be around 20%not 50% adjust your sliders accordingly up goalie save rang reflex and recover it's like freaking Connor mcdavid shooting on a high school jv goalie it's ridiculous and what happens to goalie interference constantly getting run into with no call fix your.game ea should be embarrassedput people back in box for like the rule is game changing gives the goalie a chance
