Panelty shot and shootout goalie camera

It's great to finish a game with a penalty shot in overtime, or a shootout, where you're forced to be the goalie, but you only get to see the goalie in position for the last split second of the approach...

Give us the option to choose the camera we prefer during shootouts and penalty shots, if we're supposed to be the goalie.

    Hello. Have you adjusted the goalie camera in the visual settings?

      Yes.

      In the shootout it doesn't go by the goalie cam, it only goes by the shootout cam. So when you're forced to play as the goalie and it starts from your perspective, the camera is centred on the puck and not you as the goalie, so you don't get to see your goalie until the puck is right in front of you. 

      If anyone's solution is to change the camera to something that will show both the goalie and puck at the same time, thanks for the obvious and lousy "solution". That's what's called a workaround, because you can't have it set the way you want it to be.

      I choose a really low angle for the camera when I play goalie, and having a bird's eye view doesn't help me in any way.

      It's the most frustrating way to lose a game.
