What is wrong with these useless goalies?

Aside from yellow being out of position again, why does the goalie look absolutely lost?  And this SAME goal happened at least 5 times this game, we still won 9-8 but these goalies are god awful.

    For some reason I can't see your clip ,but yes goalies are absolutely brutal 

  • Well I'm about as dumb as the AI in this game, I had it on private instead of unlisted lmao.  Should be able to see it now.

    For myself as an offline player; I feel the goalies are actually slightly better (not perfect whatsoever - a few goals or animations that just look funny). There is a ton more variety of goals being scored for my games (I play each game in franchise mode - where I have played a full season + the start of the next one). 

    I have had some that were weaker but I can understand that happens in real hockey games and also saves that were just nuts. Now I play on a high difficulty and don't overuse any abilities (not sure if that affects any of it). Most of my games are average scores (2-1, 3-2, 4-2) I had a few that were higher (6-2 or 7-4) but maybe 5 total. 

    So I wonder if its more of an online issue in some way.

      I would imagine that there would be a big difference playing on line and offline

        I feel there is too (mind you I haven't played online since NHL 22). I have always wondered that some of the goalie issues that they have is due to online play being set at a lower difficulty level - which would affect the performance of the goalies overall.
