Point shot one timers are still too powerful

I've played Champs during two weeks now, once to get Nieuwendyk and once to get Modano. I've succeeded both times, but the D2D's (one timers from the blue line) are extremely overpowered. Its true in Rivals and Champs that some people simply do not do anything else offensively. Now I understand that if I don't block a shot or if I don't take away a lane, it can go in. But when you watch the goalie stand there and move their glove out of the way without dropping to butterfly... It simply cannot and should not go in like that. If the goalie is screened, he is in the butterfly or drops to the butterfly in an attempt to make a save, fine, you can't save them all and you can't block them all. But when the goalie literally freezes and doesn't even attempt to save a shot he can clearly see all the way, its not right.

In Champs, its even more highlighted and quite frankly, Champs for me is where I have to switch to tight point defense  because otherwise I can't win any games as so much of people's offense runs through the blue line, which is a clear sign that it is far too effective. The goalie needs to react to shots they can see, its not realistic nor is it conducive to a competitive environment to have a goalie not even attempt a save when he can clearly see the puck.
