Latest Update Destroyed the game

If you play the game as you say you do you don’t need videos to see how exaggerated a lot of the hits are.  When the game replays the hits (although some of the animations are cool) a lot of them are very exaggerated.  Most of them involve a player flying into the air and then landing head first onto the ice. These devastating hits occur too many times which is maybe a sign to tune down the hitting power in the game 

As for the goalies. Way too many shots/pucks that go off the blocker or glove and up and in the net. Off the chest/pads yet finds a way in the net.  I know these goals happen in real life but it happens way too frequently in this game and it’s so obvious to many players I’ve played with.  I’ve heard so many comments from people that say they quit playing goalie because of the frequency of these crap goals.  I’ve also noticed a lot less people playing goalies in drop ins.  It’s so obvious what the problem is.  For example in NHL 24, as primarily a drop in goalie, I had over 500 wins, 100 shutouts and a SV% of .815.  So far in 25. I have over 200 wins, about 40 shutouts and a SV% of .777/8.  As someone who has played goalie for several years how do you explain an almost .40 drop in SV%?  I haven’t regressed, in fact I know I’m playing even better than I did last year as the year before and so on.  It’s also not because of the offensive traits that have changed because they basically cancel each other out from year to year.  The only conclusion is that those crap goals are happening a lot more in 25 compared to 24 and hence the .40 or so drop in my SV%.  EA definitely needs to focus on fixing these crap goals (physics) for 26.

Furthermore, the highlight replays of goalies in between periods is so over exaggerated and mispicked to cater to what EA wants and/or thinks we want.  I’ve seen a wide variety of awesome saves from several goalies (myself included) but what does EA choose as the highlight reply?  The shot from 20 ft out where the goalie makes a glove save when it appeared to be going wide of the net anyway and the majority of the time it’s from the losing goalie that’s already let up say 3 goals on 6 shots at the time.  Meanwhile I’ve made 10 saves (no goals against) on one timers, point blank shots and even breakaways (which I’ve never seen a highlight replay of).  

This is all regarding EASHL.
