NHL 21 complete mess!
What happened to EA??? They used to be so... average.... at making hockey hockey games. This one is a complete mess. The goalies are non existent. Even with the sliders all the way to 100, the goalie...

I appreciate the response but the goalies are absolutely horrible. Like I said, even at the highest rating in sliders the goalies are chain link fences and the puck is a BB. I can share the shots on goal for the computer and show video of how easily they score 90% of the time they shoot. This is by far the worst NHL to date and I just bought it yesterday and am about to uninstall it for NHL 19. That's how bad the defense and goalies are. It's a complete mess. Every year EA boasts of all the changes and better goalies and whatnot but do far EA hasn't lived up to their word. I'm getting tired of seeing the computer skate to the net, make a move and score every single time, regardless of my defense. I've been playing NHL games since the days when you made them for Genesis. From the beginning. I've bought each year except for last year and was contemplating this year and went ahead anyways. I regret that decision. I should have heeded the reviews saying how bad the goalies were this time around. Please, fix this mess. This is not hockey, this is not even a sim, it's arcade hockey where the goalies belong in peewee hockey. These goalies are horrible. They stop nothing. I switched it to rookie and still the computer scores goal after ridiculous goal after pathetic goal while my goalie just sits th3re looking like he's taking a dump. It's horrendous.
Honestly my friend, just sounds like.you need more practice at the game. I always complain about game modes n stuff not included but the gameplay is very fun and competitive.
I've been playing the franchise for years and it has nothing to do with me needing more practice. The goalie AI has gotten worse over the years and it doesn't matter how great you are at defense the computer mostly scores on the goalie almost every single time they shoot. Not only that but the computer AI is always faster than your skater, all the time. When it's my AI Player chasing after the computer with the puck they overtake them easily. The moment I switch over to the player manually is when the speed drains and they leave me in the dust, even if I'm holding or tapping the speed button. Makes no difference. There is something in the mechanics that needs fixing. It's been like this for years and hasn't changed.
What difficulty are you playing? I just had Connor Hellebuck make 40 saves on me. My goalie also played great.
I play on semi-pro
