Goalies: Aggressiveness

[Cycloniac]

The Revamped Team is making progress!

Just as we're making every skater unique, we want to do the same for goalies. Besides rating them, we'd like your feedback on how "aggressive" they are. Aggressiveness for goalies is basically how far they come out to challenge shooters. We've decided on this scale:

65 = Passive i.e. Lundqvist, Crawford
75 = Balanced (majority of NHL goalies)
85 = Aggressive i.e. Halak
95 = Very Aggressive i.e. Tim Thomas, Kari Ramo

We're listening!

Passive
Henrik Lundqvist
Corey Crawford
Jonathan Bernier
Brian Elliot

Aggressive
Jaroslav Halak
James Reimer

Very Aggressive
Tim Thomas
Karri Ramo
Jonathan Quick

Other Notables
Roberto Luongo (70)
Cory Schneider (80)
Carey Price (80)

You ever set one to 99 and try it?
They act like Patrick Roy, wandering all over the ice. makes things interesting.

Lol. I tried it with Hiller. When he came out to play the puck, he ended up skating in too far; passed it right onto Daniel Sedin's stick who slapped it home for an easy goal.

That let me know 99 is a bit too high; it clouds goalies' common sense.

Bernier should be really low like lundqvist
Riemer should be agressive like halak

There is no common sense in EA goalies. Find a way to make them effectively cover the puck and not give up juicy rebounds so often.

Yup; haven't seen many juicy rebounds so far.

What also helped was setting goalie passing at 2, and cover puck frequency at 5. Goalies cover the puck realistically this way instead of diving at a ridculously high frequency for nearby pucks.

I'll keep the OP updated with the reccomendations.

I agree about Bernier, but Reimer is thanks to new goalie coach changing his style, as it was evident in last few games, he is staying more to blue circle, so I think, that he is just a little bit above average, but not as much as Halak.
