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.
All the developers are trying to do is appease those who don’t want to take the time to learn how to defend properly because I know in previous NHL iterations I was almost never scored on cross crease or any of the so called cheap ways of scoring that used to exist in those older games. So now all that is happening is the developers decided to take the responsibility of defending away from the players and simply make the goalie unstoppable instead so everyone can believe they’re the best because in todays world everyone is a winner regardless of merit. even in offline modes with the sliders turned way down backup goalies are making unreal saves when I have them dead to rights with a wide open net so these goalie changes are across the board for every game mode in this game and it’s a shame because I barely play online modes.
