@MHazz69 I did say something constructive. Goalie is so easy to play it is ridiculous. It has been since you were able to sit on the goal line and save everything as a 6'5" in 22, and even earlier than that though not as much. As for the tether system, the player is being beaten by their own decision and not the games. Their decision was to lose control of the left thumbstick and so their goalie was moved back to the centerline. That was their mistake and not the games as people are blaming. Yes I am making sarcastic comments and I apologize for attacking you on it specifically, but at the same time I hearing these complaints from people all the time that in the end, are inaccurate.
"take away the auto hugging of the post" - Its not an auto hug of the post, it is the movement of the thumbstick below the 3 and 9 oclock positions respectively. The player is choosing to do that, most likely, out of panic because the puck is being moved back and forth on them and they do not have thumbstick discipline to move the stick left and right without accidentally making the mistake of going past those 3 and 9 positions and therefore, "auto" hugging the post. If the system was in fact, an "auto hug" like people claim, then the goalie would go into a hugging of the post when the puck got to certain spots or trigger points on the ice. I.E. perhaps it would auto hug the post once the puck was behind the net.
"The tether system is causing my goalie to move on shots" - No, the player is causing the goalie to move because, once again, they did not have the calm mind and steady thumb to remain still on the thumbstick, therefore the thumbstick control was lost and the goalie moved because of it.
Yes of course these "high level goalies for years" are saying this because they liked being able to save everything and carry games. They want to be able to stand still and be out of position saving a one timed puck on the other side of their net because of their 6'5" stature. Just because all of these "high skilled" guys say something doesn't make it necessarily the end all be all. In fact one of the "high skilled" goalies made the argument of, "I want to play one handed again and I want to be able to carry a game". This should not be the way goalie is able to be played, it should be a challenge IMO. There should be a skill gap and in 23, there barely was one. Again I am not saying I agree with the creation of a new goalie system but I do think it did something correct in making goalie a tougher position to play for people and allows for more sniping on goalies who make mistakes which has resulted in wide variety of goals being scored for a change.
