Re: Goalies

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.

    Who knows, maybe what I’m experiencing is an outlier, I’ve seen videos of goalies playing insane, and I’ve read comments where people say goalies are great, I’ve adjusted some sliders, so when I get on tonight I’ll reset all the sliders to the default latest game version and see what I get. I’m playing on all star and playing franchise with Chicago, so the defense is bad and the goalie himself is bad ratings wise. But he gave up like 6 goals on 14 shots in a period and a half and most goals were wrist shots from the top of the circles that should be saved. Could be just me.

    What is this alleged "increased D ability" you speak of, because where I (and many I know) are standing, playing Defense is in the worst state its been in for some years now, it might even be worse than G right now

    There's no problem at all about goalies being better. The problem is goalies making incredible and desperate saves on every perfect plays. The feeling is that you don't get rewarded for making great plays you get goals only with the same kind of far side shot, wraparound and garbage plays. IT'S NOT FUN! Btw, goalies are as good on rookie and that's a big problem too, cause causal players have even more problems! At least, goalies should play regarding their difficulty levels.
