Goalie feedback
Two nights ago was the worst EA NHL experience I've ever been apart of. 13 goals allowed in 3 games and 8 went in off the goalie or defense due to ridiculous bounces. I was told to "get proof" with v...

Here we have a clear goalie interference with no call. Penalties have become pretty non existent except for trips.
In this wonderful clip we have a few issues. The original puck carrier is shoved from behind by the Dman. He goes into the desperation dive animation as he falls toward the blue line. He manages to dive away from the net and shoot the puck backwards with speed despite being completely horizontal to the ice in mid air and falling away from the net. The puck hits the goalie with enough force that there is a rebound to the left side. The other forward kicks the puck which phases through the goalies stick and through his legs, despite being squared to it. It then trickles in.
In the last clip I think the toe of the G's stick was raised just enough that the puck went underneath but regardless, that was bad. Goalies are in dire need of an overhaul
- @TTZ_Dipsy Don't get me wrong. If any one of these clips happened and it was an isolated thing. I wouldn't care. Crap happens. It's a video game and it's not perfect. But it's been two straight nights(7gp) of 90% nonsense.
Wednesday my LW partially blocked a slap shot at the left point. The puck deflected and was heading to the right corner. Hit the RD at the bottom of the right circle and bounced toward the net, went Underneath a standing goalie, hit the left post and went in.
Multiple "own goals" due to weird puck bounces or awful animations. And again. If it was once and a while like it usually is, so be it. But the game is unplayable when 12 of 19 goals against over the last 7 games have been "bad bounces" or EA nonsense. That number doesn't even count the handful of garbage goals we scored that we shouldn't haveYa my buddy and I stopped playing - It's disheartening to see a clear skill gap in the game get washed away with horrible AI.
Easy to say play a game with all humans but even then actually playing as a goalie is worse feeling than watching an AI.
We need better mechanics and more animations for shot blocks, the AI needs perception and anticipation, there needs to be some sort of innate fear for all players when the puck is close to the net
