Re: NHL Be A Pro Goalie help

I have the same issues.  The first year that BAP allowed goalies, I had fun playing my goalie.  After that, even with all their tweaks to make them better, you simply get scored on too often to have any fun or try to be a great goalie.  It isn't the goalie's that need tweaking, it's the offensive AI.  They don't take bad shots.  They only take great low slot one timers or the nice dot-to-dot's you talk about.  So, even if you win and only let in 1-2 goals, your save percentage is horrible because the other team only took like 10 shots.  This year, with the "cheating" feature they've added to goalies, it's near impossible to block anything.  I've always felt they need to have sliders or something to adjust goalie tendencies to match my player with my style.  I also play goalie in real life and don't like how they work in BAP or the new Live the Life.  They don't react fast enough or accurately enough.  Guys skate right in front of me on a wrap around and by the time I push the button for a poke and the game responds, I'm being scored on high to my blocker side.  What EA needs to do is make the CPU take bad shots.  Lower the AI's "hockey smarts" so that guys take bad shots and low scoring percentage shots.  That would help.  Otherwise, I just keep playing GM mode or making a D-man and playing that.  Goalie mode is just too hard because the reaction time is critical and the game doesn't replicate that well enough.
