AI goalie terrible on one team but great on other?

I seriously have no idea what is happening this year. 


We play 3s with an AI goalie against other teams with AI goalies.  We will do the craziest cross crease and their goalie is always following the puck perfectly....if it goes in, its barely squeezing in because the goalie is there. 


On the other side, people are scoring like 99% of their goals on us with weak cross creases and our goalie consistently doesnt move....the goal is literally half open each time they try a cross crease as if the goalie is stuck in an animation or the post. 

I cant even say its that they found an exploit because it happens in so many ways from so many different position, from the hash marks from the side of the net from anywhere really our goalie just freezes there. 

Just lost a game 7-6 where we dominated the game 16 mins on attack vs 4, 30+ shots vs 10 and their shots were all mostly mediocre slow pass cross crease where our goalie just sat on the post while on their end we would completely beat them and do a cross crease and every single time its been an easy save.   Makes 0 sense. 

We are in clubs EASHL xbox Series 3s. 

Any advices? 

Can Ai goalies be upgraded somehow?  What are we missing? 

Feels like we have an eliminator goalie.

  • Tale as old as time mate - I haven't met a human goalie any better so your team will have to just tighten up on defense.

    It'll slow the game down a bit and most people don't find it as fun but creating a defensive defenseman or grinder build will help tremendously

    Slow defensive builds are not a great options in 3s with everyone abusing speed and breakaways. 


    but beyond the "git better at D" response, im still trying to figure out why some goalies appear to be lightning fast on cross creases and ours moving like molasse and not even attempting to move in many cases during the same kind of cross crease or even slower cross creases.

    I didn't mean to give that impression - I completely understand how imbalanced attacking and defending is. 

    Tilt doesn't technically exist but I know exactly what you mean about hot and cold goalies, feels like it happens to my team all the team and it really doesn't come down to skill but rather luck.
