When is EA going to fix goalies???
Getting rather tired of the AI shooting the puck from anywhere on the ice and it going in the net. Even with the sliders at MAX 100 value, the human goalies absolutely SUCK! Might as well take the go...

You're not able to reproduce what everyone is experiencing? You ARE playing NHL 23, right? It seems impossible for me to believe that all of us are experiencing horrible goaltending and EA, of course, cannot reproduce it. With all due respect, I find that VERY hard to believe.
no...for some reason the in-house copies of NHL games can't reproduce the retail copy version issues...
Which is why they never fix the bugs. They always wait until the next installment.... where they add all new bugs.
I just did a test of 5 games and took notes how the shots were taken and how they scored.
First to about the Gameplay Sliders:

Some extra remarks:
- I'm just an average player, not in any shape or form a good player.
- Scoring was easy for me as the AI hasn't learned yet how I play in the save. My shot totals will go down as will my scoring usually after 10'ish games and I start to lose games too. Though, it's a first time in NHL 23 when I've used such a good team. Also I'm still trying to find a good slider settings. Anyways my scoring is irrelevant in this test.
- I used TBL as a test team as Vasy is the best goalie.
- I noticed that almost all the goals CPU team scored were perfect shots to both top corners.
- Breakaways were almost always a goal. CPU deked and scored unrealistically high percentage.
- The shot accuracy for CPU is 0/100, but still they do not shoot of the mark.
- CPU team do not shoot outside of the best scoring perimeter and if they do, it's usually to get a tip-in goal.
- CPU team really do not shoot a lot.
- This problem isn't caused by how the goalies are scripted. It's how the CPU team behaviour has been scripted. They don't shoot enough, but when they do their shots are inch perfect and when they get to the specific areas or situations they will score in unrealistically high percentage.
