Goalie CR?
How does the game calculate your CR for the goalie position? We played a club game against far better club than us (CR high 700 and even 800, compared with out 500ish), and managed a 2-1 win. Our skaters received something like 26 points to their CR, and me as the goalie... I got a whopping 11 or 12 points?
Is that how it's supposed to work? I played pretty well, and did a couple of game savers. Ok my save percentage wasnt in the 90s, it was around 85... is that why?
Our more regular goalie has been complaining that it's very hard to raise your CR. I didn't really pay attention to it before, but now I get what he means.

Why do you care about CR so much?!
It has no impact on your build or anything.
It’s just there to try and make matchmaking more balanced ...so 800/900 cr guys aren’t always playing 400/500 type Cr players.
I do play a lot of goalie ...haven’t played close attention....but it does seem to work the same ...I’ll go on winning streaks and my CR goes up...and it goes down when I lose.
I’ll try to pay more attention next time I’m between the pipes.
Far as I know CR in a team mode will be calculated on the average CR of the team. The higher the difference, the more it impacts your CR.
If your opponents have a much higher CR than yours then you get a decent bump in CR. If they are much lower, that's where you get +7 or whatever. It is a deterrent to seal clubbing and scrub hunting. How high is your CR? It must be higher than your mates because your CR bump was smaller.
Maybe a dev can explain how it works in a team format like EASHL.
Good question. CR is based on wins and losses. Far as I know, has nothing to do with how well or bad you play. I have played terrible games from time to time and still get a CR bump when my team wins.
That seems logical.
You shouldn't compare goalies, you should compare goalies against the skaters / shots & saves etc.
it used to average cr of the entire other team. its just this year they made it where it only against what the other goalie has.
That said, I still expected that CR to be used against all players in the game and not just goalie to goalie when it comes to adding/subtracting CR.
As such unique positions that can have a single impact on a game, it is good to balance goalies against each other though as part of matchmaking. I don’t have data on hand but know the online team looks at it to qualify the success of matchmaking — would be interesting to look at how a higher collective CR team can make up for having a goalie with low CR compared to a goalie with high CR making up for a team with a lower collective CR.
A goalie with high CR will never make up for a team with low CR if his opponents are decent. His CR will drop really fast.
From what I have seen, the only goalies with high CR are playing with a very good team.
But that said, if we are matching goalies to one another, it should equal out if both goalies are on average playing the same variance of games to achieve their CR.
More could be done to dial it in more but should be much better with unique goalie CR than it was last year.
I don’t see the logic behind making it goalie vs goalie.
Any ETA as to when goalie CR is going to be corrected? Mine is still -2147483648
if they did it like previous years, most teams will just use goalies with broken cr -98k since they will get max cr for every win and lose 0 when they lose. its already pain playing agasint goalies with negative cr since you get 0 as a goalie for win even if others on the team are 1000+cr
Ehh...your wins loss record and GAA. Is what’s really important.
Naw. Having fun is what's most important.
