Goalies
Could we got some insite on goalies this year? They seem to let some weakers you could say. More than previous years.
The way EA has worked on all these sweet dekes and the ice-iq I assumed the goaltending had been worked on. I hadn't played an NHL game in a few years but I decided to pick 25 up. While I will admit I am truly enjoying the game, I used to play goalie. Went all the way to college. These goalies need the same love and attention you guys give the forwards. I have 2 clips that come directly to mind. 1, I'm behind my net, take a weak slapper, goalie goes down does not move and it goes in between the skate and post? As far as I'm aware ANY goalie would have played the puck. 2, a clip of a goalie looking like he's having almost a seizure on his left, glove side post in a butterfly, he sticks his blocker behind his back and his stick gets caught in the net. This I'm sure isn't average. But the long shot goals? Really? The fact that when you play goalie in game he won't stand in a relaxed upright position unless he's there for a long time? Nah watch some hockey, it doesn't matter what league. That pucks out of the zone and he's relaxing for a second. The way goalies in this game can hardly pass the puck is hilarious. Again to watch some hockey. Most goalies can literally float the puck from end to end, at your shoulders if the wanted. Its like you don't speak to goalies about how they should function or behave. Get a goalie to work there for their INVALUABLE input. Thanks for reading.
Thank you for the constructive feedback. It's absolutely appreciated.
