    I don't know how many games I've played in where it wasn't decided in the first period. I've seen a ton of games where a team was losing in the first, but came back to win later. If you're continually getting scored on, but your opponents are not, that's a difference in skill between the 2 teams and not any difference in goalies.

    We're always trying to reduce the amount of soft goals that are scored. However, they are a part of hockey and will happen. There's always room for improvement with goalies and the team is constantly focusing on this. Hopefully, we'll see less soft goals in the future.

    No they won't.  The "glitch goals" are still as bad as ever, you don't even need to make an actual move to beat the goalie lol.  Forehand, backhand on a breakaway goes in 99% of the time still.

    I've gone on chelhead which tracks games, in most games our team loses, we continuously get 60% or higher of how we outplayed those teams, the goalies are a joke.  You are not gonna get anyone to believe the goalies have the same skill level, not when you have an entire forum saying the same exact thing about the goalies.

    We may be playing more games but remember the on ice time is way less, were playing 4 minute periods, that means 5 games equals 1 irl NHL game. Goalies definitely need a buff but you are correct that defense is lacking as well and I dont necessarily think its completely the games fault. But I do think the requirement for defensive awareness needs to be lessened, interceptions need to happen more frequently and punish teams for making a bad pass regardless if the player is facing the puck or not, less off the skate bounces, quicker reactions for goalies while in butterfly and more control in butterfly, things like this I think would be an overall improvement. Games should end more 3-1 / 2-1 instead of 7-6 especially when youre playing a 1/5 of an NHL game (on ratio a 2-1 EANHL game would end 10-5 irl.

    First, it's not the soft goals. It's the one side getting peppered and saving all while the other team flick it on net blind from the blue only to trickle in.

    The position is hard to play and unforgiving. Humans should always be a better choice than AI.

    Goalies are always a priority. We're very aware of this feedback and changes are most likely coming at some point in the future. We'll have to wait and see what is addressed in upcoming updates.

    The issue with goalies hasn't been fixed in years, I won't hold my breath.
