    Hey there. I appreciate you posting this. Feel free to continue to update it if you find new issues. Thanks!

  • One thing I’ve noticed the past few years that hasn’t seemed to be addressed or adjusted at all is the frequency of AI goalie poke check attempts. They attempt these way too often, causing the goalie to be out of position while that animation finishes, resulting in an easy goal as the skater just shoots it in around them.

      With the abundance of how close players like to get to the goalie it would be nice to see a bump in poke check effectiveness. I agree.
