EA_Aljothere are shot that you can’t defend, unless you know something that I don’t. I really would like to see you defend the shortside goal taken near or past the goal line where goalie doesn’t stay hugged to the post. On 2on1 or 1on1. Can you provide a video?

Community ManagerI defend the short side by watching for this play to develop. Then, I'll poke, hit or block the shot. I'm not saying I stop it every time, but when teams rely on this shot, it's not difficult to anticipate and stop. We go up against teams that try this all the time. Especially, skating to the corner, turning back up to the bottom of the circle and firing it shortside. Our D normally stops this.
So how do you make the goalie stay glued to the post, other than playing with human goalie? My point was that even if you defend the play correctly the AI goalies logic is utterly flawed near goal line.

I focus on my own play rather than the goalie. I play defense so I'm there to keep as many pucks away from the goalie as possible. I'm not saying goalies don't need improvements though.
