I agree! As I said in another post...
I've just seen and heard too many people struggle with goalies even in game modes that should basically be just for fun. It's just one more thing to make life difficult for those who are a little less good or who play less often. We all know the elite players and streamers have been complaining about cross crease for a long time... Lots of changes to please these players, and yet for offline players and average players, virtually no change, no improvement. We can clearly see the tendency to appeal to a very restricted group of players while the average player is increasingly left out. Occasionally, it's good to listen to the opinion of players who are a little less talkative but still a good part of the player base.
I had really fun game yesterday, Ben Bishop at the CPU goal was demi-god, after two periods I had 46 shots on him, and I finally managed to score on him after two consecutive rebounds!!! I threw everything and the kitchen sink at him without succcess before that... semi-breakaways, wrap arounds, masked deflections etc. No dice, bud.
At the opposite end, my 87 Vasilievsky let in two first (and only) shots in the first period. Great fun! 🤒
Also, recently it seems that the faster players I get (speeds 90+) the harder time I have burning these slow CPU dmen with low AVR. They just glide backwards stick extended as fast as you can hustle, and when you actually get past them, they throw this huge hit that crushes your player....so the better your team gets, the more boost the CPU gets, right? This is an old theory that's been around for years... maybe I should lower my team AVR to 82 or lower again, could make SB more playable?
@Sgt_KelsoLearn when to tap RB to push the puck up and you can make the AI step up and burn by them. Also try not to skate a straight line and instead slightly go at an angle and they are less likely to get you.
As for scoring it's pretty easy in SB. Granted it is the same 3 goals over and over.

I got like 5 ways I score over and over and over. And it's not from doing 1T's or even LTing.
