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'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
Semi pro the goalies will let in lots of goals
I’ve trie pro and it’s even worse. You are barely touched by the computer and the puck is easily taken away from you. The computer is faster than you by far and scores easier and more quickly. And, that’s not true. In NHL 19 I also played semipro with the same settings that I have now and I was ending in shutouts. So your assessment is rather flawed.
