EA.. Just admit it, your game sucks and should be free.

10/30/1996

NYR-NJD 6:1 with the devils pounding 54 shots. 

03/04/99 Maple Leafs 4 goals in 9 shots 

It is possible in real Life! We here have a entertaining video game! I bet you will score 5 goals on 5 shots some day...

Only about 37,000 games since then. 

It does happen in real life. You can also talk about how many high danger shots are being put on. I've played games where the goalie saves a multitude of 1T's and other games where a guy at the point throws out a muffin and is rewarded. My only complaint as far as all this goes is the inconsistency of goalies, or the number of times we experience these games. They shouldn't save every muffin. I've been on both sides of this. Won games i felt I should have lost and lost games I should have won. They shouldn't allow every 1T but it would be nice to be able to have a little more predictability. I often try to assess the risk of an attacker and will more or less allow shots from low danger areas to ensure the puck doesn't make it to a more threatning area. This game seems to discourage that a bit more now. We also have to worry about full pressure or whacky xfactors like the goalie stun. They have a hard enough time just holding their post haha! All this being said, it would prob be best to just get a human goalie so these issues are somewhat mitigated. I think the whole goalie system needs rebuilt from the ground up. It's probably the worst thing in the game.
