@EA_Aljo and community, i have challenge for you. Can you find the diffrence ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbpVccTJnQQ&ab_channel=Sirajs I came back to try one match after one month and nothing changed :D Also, dont know why, but why is harder to play against 69 OVR team then 89, i really dont know, but i already used to it, that 65 OVR players feels like def stats has better then 90+ cards 😇😃
One thing is for sure, player stats don't matter this year. Last year there was a notable difference between an 84 rated team against a 90+ team. It made it worth all the hours grinding to build your team.
This year its a total waste of time. If the game doesn't want you to win it doesn't matter what players you have or how highly rated your team is, you ain't going to win.
I played a game in Rivals yesterday. The opposition was rated 80 and I'm rated 91. I had 40+ shots on goal to their 8. They won 2-0 🤣

Are goalies not allowed to make saves?
On the first chance, goalie was in a great spot to make the save and Sakic's shot was being contested:
2nd chance could've been a goal, but the goalie was able to cheat to get over in time. I'd be curious to know where LS was aimed while taking the shot:
3rd chance, you come in from the side (which is a good scoring chance) and try to shoot low far side. The goalie reads it easily because you shoot in the direction he's moving
4th chance is a soft backhand into a player:
In the 5th chance, much like the 3rd chance, you're shooting in the direction the goalie is moving:
I see one or two chances here that could've been goals, but the goalie made some great saves. Goalies make great saves, sometimes consecutively, in real life. As the opponent, your job is to remain composed in the face of these saves and keep trying. Stop giving into the groupthink that "lesser overall teams get an advantage". It's just a coping mechanism in the face of players who are skillful at this game.
Community ManagerI think @KidShowtime1867 already broke it down well. Regardless, if you feel a 65 OVR team is better than an 89, give it a try and see if you're suddenly doing better. I've made this suggestion many times over the years. So far, just like proving slower players are more speedy than faster players, I haven't heard from anyone that can prove it.
@KidShowtime1867You gave me nice explanation, why i didnt score, okey, i agree with you, but that wasnt a point. Now explain me, why goalie with OVR 84 from first shot (bizare shot) let it through and on other side 73 OVR goalie catch these shots even in full pressure. Does it mean, that it doesnt matter if i get TOTY ullmark 94 or silver goalie 73 ? If its work like this, so its same like F1 would be beaten by F3, do you get my point ? You both answer me only half, why i didnt score, now explain me, why my goalie let that shot wnet trough, we will not talk, that player which shot was 72 OVR

It's a good question and I understand your reasoning. If I can sum it up: Why does the goalie with an overall of 73 seemingly have an easier time stopping good scoring chances than your goalie with an overall of 84? and subsequently, what is the incentive for acquiring a goalie with a high overall if they seemingly don't perform relative to their lesser-overall counterparts?
I think this ultimately comes down to save %. Goalies with a higher overall will have a higher save % spread out over many games than a goalie with a lower overall. Of course, this isn't guaranteed because there are more factors at play then just goalie attributes when it comes to whether or not a shot crosses the goal line.
Furthermore, when you narrow it down the microcosm of just one game - it's entirely possible that a goalie with an OVR of 73 outshines a goalie with an OVR of 84. This can be due to something like defensive ability. Is the goalie with an OVR of 73 facing easier shots? Potentially. However, in your scenario, the goalie is facing very dangerous shots which all had the potential to cross the line...
That brings us to the other variables: the shooter attributes combined with the actions on the inputs from the user. Is the user aiming to a spot the goalie is moving to? Is the shot being contested? Was the pass a clean pass and was it received on the forehand or backhand. Did the player need to adjust to forehand before taking the shot? Is there an X-Factor on the OVR73 goalie that gives them a boost on cross-crease passes or One-timers? Is the shooter at the end of a shift and fatigued? Are they injured?
I think you can see how all of these variables can stack up to seemingly lopsided outcomes in some games, which is definitely something that happens in real life too. However, over the course of a season, you should see that a goalie with an OVR of 84 has a better save % and win-loss ratio than the goalie with an OVR of 73.
IMO, it causes more grief in a game mode like HUT because there's an expectation from the customer that their investment will pay off irrelevant of that user's skill level (and please don't take this to mean I am attacking your skill level, I am not).
Hopefully this makes sense. too much caffeine today.
@EA_AljoMake sense. Also i want to ask, if are you working to fix that bug, with change of goalie in online matches in HUT. I found out in SB, that if my goalie let some goals and i change the goalie, team is getting + morality back and its "reset" mentality of players like timeout do. Or is it in road map ? I think all players would appreciate this fix.
