@EA_Aljo Is the bonus better for a 5"10 goalie than a 6"4 one? Or same bonus

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.

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?

@SummerOfDekes If you want to maximize the boost you go shorter like 5ft10.

In HUT I tested it with 6ft2 goalie with light work and didn't notice anything special, it was buffed but not wow! so at 6ft4 it's probably not even that significant. I tried it on a 6ft goalie belfour and that's where I really noticed it a lot. I wanna test out Cujo because he's a bit shorter and better stats and also not butterfly style but can't find him on market.

Problem is big goalies are still OP and need a proper nerf before you can consider a small goalie. Small goalies are useable but only with the light work trait which costs 6 AP while a 82 markstrom will do the same with no AP wasted.

@EA_Aljo just hoping to get a response to this question
