Bad goalie animations creates cheap goals (Videos)
Please see these videos and how cpu goalie animations are warp quick and results in overplays and cheap goals.

Scoring feels worse in nhl 25 because of how the goalie animations move way too fast. Their reflex is too quick and it doesn't make for a satisfying goal. It's not making it harder to score, but it feels cheaper and it makes it feel like you are beating an animation not the ratings of a goaltender.
For example: U have auston matthews shooting high glove right underneath the bar, in real life, the puck whould whizz so fast, that the puck goes ABOVE the glove because the goalie just wasn't quick enough. This is how it was in nhl 23/24.
But in nhl 25, the goalie's glove animation is TOO quick, that he overplays puck, so the puck goes underneath the glove. When the puck passes the goalie, the goalie's glove is ABOVE the cross bar.
Here are some videos I uploaded. These 5 goals were from just 2 games and a period.

If this happens rarely just like real life fine, but it happens way way too much and it's just not believable. practically every game has this goal. One game I scored 2 of these goals, and the cpu also scored 2. Bring back Nhl 24 goalies please.
