While I appreciate buffing goalies, I do wonder exactly what EA considers a "small goalie" to be. Quite frankly, whatever boost small goalies get would just be negated by the fact that small goalies have absolutely terrible vision and are constantly screened, so I can't imagine switching to any height under 6'3".

Small goalies are between 5'10" and 6'4".

@EA_Aljo 

Lol at that point just buff all goalies

@EA_Aljo why was truc buffed?

5'10" and under receive the max bonus. 6'4" and over receives the minimum boost. Those in-between get a boost somewhere in the middle.

I think there needs to be some clarification as that doesn't seem match the patch notes.

• Increased Extra Padding and Lightwork Zone Ability buff for small goalies by 40%
• Increased Extra Padding and Lightwork Superstar Ability buff for small goalies by 15%

To me this reads as a straight 40%/15% buff for "small" goalies.  The initial confusion in the community was what the definition of "small" was.  Now there also appears to be a different range for the buff depending on the goalie size?  Patch notes need to be clearer than this.

Wait, just for clarification, does that mean 6'4" isn't considered to be small? If we want the boost from being small, we would need to be 6'3" at the most?
