Increase the goalie screen effectiveness EA

[jyoung]

I don't think it should be considered an "easy way out" to tweak the goalies in this game given that anyone who follows the sport of hockey should immediately notice that NHL 10's goalies are still pretty far from representating the real thing.

Another poster summed it up pretty well in a different thread:

Quote:

The goalie saves shots and plays that normaly would be a sure goal most of the times. But fumbles the puck into his own goal, can't save slow pucks worth a damn and steers the rebound of the slow shots in the wrong direction. Make him not save all of the hard wristshots and slapshots and not have him move unrealisticly fast to the right position on opening plays. Let him stay in the butterfly on close rebounds as he now stands up like a moron with an open fivehole.

Screens aren't really an issue at all right now, so there's no need to tweak that aspect of the game.

Reaction time, however, is definitely something that needs to be addressed, whether it's with tuner sets or slider tweaks.

baa7, dont just say you made changes to the goalie ratings, explain what, and by how much the changes are.

Depends on what level you play I lowered and raised a few and I started seeing alot of bad angle goals by the CPU shoot from on my goaline.
I play on pro now and the best way is to play good D instead of just making the goalie superman .
I also wish alot of CPU sliders worked more effective like the Hu ones do .
I will say when you find your sliders wow what a game !
