I can't tell you why mine are different. Average shots per game usually range from 15-30 shot for the AI team and 20-35 for my team, depending on the team and how good or bad they are, or how good or bad that I'm playing. My team GAPG is below 2.00 as well for my season at 54 games (so I'm somehow getting very good goaltending from both goalies). I don't change a ton of the sliders and play on superstar difficulty.
There is games where the AI goalie or mine will allow 3 goals on 6 shots - it can either go that they settle down and end the game with 20+ shots and not let anymore in or let in another 1 or 2 and I pull them.
Its hard to determine what goalies can or will save in game or in real hockey. How many times do you see goalies get beat on the post cause they are not hugging it or moved for a second before the shot was made.
I am not saying the Goalies are amazing or perfect. I was just able to find a way (after years and years of adjusting sliders and difficulty) that worked for me and how I play hockey in NHL.
That’s one of my biggest gripes. I don’t want to sit there and mess with sliders all the time. I expect it to be fine the way they are
Sadly, it's not usually the best experience to get when you don't. I know that feeling of games that make no logical sense - back in NHL 22 when there was games I would outshoot the AI team 37-7 and lose 4-3. It was around that time I started to change the sliders around to try and make it closer to how it is now for me. I also changed how I play the game and adjusted to a more real game style, try to figure what the AI will do and use that in my favor, which has also seemed to help.
I still can't figure out the penalties, not well enough to not break the rest of the flow of the game. So for now I live with 1 or 2 a game by the AI on average.
