NHL 25 Goalie AI and other tragedies

What's the logic for the goalie's actions here? He's in RVH with the bottom sealed. Then, as the shot is taken low, the goalie inexplicably raises his pads for zero reason. If this were real hockey, this goalie would be investigated for suspicion of throwing games.

The AI is laughably bad in this game, and has been for some time. I think the best thing for this franchise would be to take a year off, scrap the entirety of the legacy code, and start COMPLETELY fresh. Build a new NHL game from the ground up.

Edit: and just to be clear, this is pro-am. The only human player is the defender in front of the net.
