Goalie controls
Where is Paddle Down? R2 (hold) + X in previous years on PS. Meanwhile Desperation Dives is mapped to two buttons. R1 and Square. If this was intentional I’d love to read their reasoning....

@thebrazenhead75 The remedy was giving us the old controls back. My idea was if they didn't give us the old controls back. They could still refine the new controls in the future but only time will tell.
Giving the old controls was the priority and trust me we gave a huge stink about how awful goalies were without toggles off for things. Many agreed and they gave us toggle off options and the old controls.
Obviously they are trying new things and it's gonna be hit or miss. How badly they miss determines if changes happen imo.

The problem is that “paddle down” was in the old controls. I’ve been able to use it in all the previous years as far as I can remember. So if the game is the old controls back then how was it removed somehow?
I always have all my automatic things off for my G. If I’m not pushing/holding a button I don’t want my goalie to do a thing! That includes stupidity sprawling all over my crease and on my butt after one of my Dman blocks a shot. Not dropping down to butterfly on particular plays. I want full control of my G!

The team removed paddle down because the focus was to polish and implement the new desperation poses and save animations.

Makes sense, imo. In the old games, I seemed to always just get beat by a high shot when I used paddle down, so I found it to be pointless since most 5-hole goals are from tips or wraps and not from skaters aiming 5-hole anyway.
If the team were to bring back an element of the old controls, I think t-pushes would be great. The problem with t-pushes in the old games was how clunky and slow the animation was, so no one ever used it - much like post hug is now. If the devs were to rework t-pushes to be less janky, I think that would be a great benefit to goalies when used correctly.

Once again a stupid decision!
Desperation save doesn’t need to be mapped to TWO different buttons to do the SAME thing! Meanwhile removing one common and well used ability. SMFH!
Just on a side note on the goalie control topic. Under control settings for the goalie. I have control of the pressure and line changes. With Xbox I can use the D-Pad, but in reality this does not have any function. The D-Pad is dead, non-functional, worthless, does nothing, useless and Im assuming if you are playing forward or defense, these controls would work. So why not for the goalie?
