@MHazz69 So what you are telling me is that Goalies are making mistakes for a change and being scored on for it?!?!? Wow what a horrible game concept. You're right, lets go back to the old school goalies of last year that could stop everything because 6'5" is still an option and they can reach all the way across on onetimers while sitting deep in their net. Lets go back to the game where literally nothing ever goes in because the one spot that 6'5" goalies should be vulnerable to, being the five hole, are covered because auto butterfly saves exist.
While I don't agree with the creating of a new system, AT THE VERY LEAST, it forced goalies to have to do SOMETHING while in their zone rather than practically sit on their goal line and save everything that comes their way or is passed across that isn't a OneTee shot. I would have much rather preferred a lower max height for the created player (6'1 maybe 6'2") or the implementation of a full manual butterfly button to make a save. By that I mean, if you aren't hitting butterfly to make the save, than your goalie tries to save the puck like a 70s stand up goaltender back in the day. This would have forced goalies to go butterfly for shots to protect the five hole and if done at the wrong time, would also make them susceptible to snipes up high. Which, when the old controls come back, will be near impossible to do on any decent goaltender just like it was in 23.
