Goalie Nerf

EA… seriously?! It’s already extremely difficult to be a competitive goalie. And now you’re nerfing all the loadouts? It’s already so easy to play as a forward that you can score 100% of breakaways, and now you’re nerfing human goalies on top of that?!

  • I agree…I was starting to have fun playing Goalie...had some shoutouts too. Now, I just suck and get really toxic comments about my game. Has anyone from EA ever played Goalie?

  • EA needs to eliminate some of the penalties that are associated with goalies. Its just not balanced. You have a penalty for standing on a low shots, but we cant use butterfly because the moves are so delayed, as if im playing on 200 ping, Youve got screens that happen without a defensive player in the way on a backhand shot. Youve got a power increase that is given the closer you are to a goalie. And all that before you even throw 15 abilities against a goalies 3.

  • Now, I see…they want to sell their paid loadouts…what a cheap move! :-(

  • Worst update ever again build are now Worst that they were on day 1 😆 nice way to ruin are fun again ea 

  • Just as an example, I know the consensus is five hole does nothing but there is no goalie in the game that has 90+ low attributes and a sub 80 five hole. Five hole minimum should be 85, the range of a hybrid goalies five hole is 76-93, like what? And a butterfly has 79-96... wtf is going on. Get someone who studies the position to have some input in the game because this is insanity.

  • Seems like I hit a nerve.

    @EA: Please listen to your community. There aren’t many goalies who put themselves in this position. A buff would be more appropriate than a nerf.
