👀 I might just do that.

Are you talking about 8:55? I did go down a bit early on the pass to the left wing which restricted my movement when the puck found their RW. 13:25 was me thinking he would one time to the short side, but the shooter had the patience to go across my body. 16:07 I will maintain that the game screwed me a bit. Yeah, my angles could have been better, but I’ve made that save numerous times and the puck happened to hit our defender. I do agree that the game favors shooters and their X-factors over us goalies. I reckon it’ll be more of the same when the new game drops.

I can't read my reply to you, but if you're talking about the Calgary goal, I thought the shooter would one time to the near side, which is why I slid.

@@bdangles19 I would have 100% done the same without thinking even if I could read the pass, I only say stick to the top of the crease just to up your chances on making the save, that’s all that can really be done in that case. Goalies have it tough, so I respect your willingness to play the position.

@@GhostlyGuardian You're absolutely right. It certainly would have helped. I'm excited to see what kind of cheese is unleashed in '25 for us goalie lol.

@@Faulted777Cruise Brother, this is KZbin. It’s not life and death - there’s no saving that needs to be done. If you enjoy the videos, then watch. If you don’t, then don’t. If you’ve noticed, I have posted numerous shorts. This is merely a hobby, so it’s not that deep.

"Empowered AI" is just marketing gobbedlygook. Like Boom Stick from Madden. The back skating into a late hit animation is what we've seen since current gen began.

It is definitely not on Allstars or higher . You don't have 3 defenders charging at puck carrier with stick extended at the speed of light or something other that is physically impossible in real life.

@@tjalbury3271 is there reason to believe that it isn’t on a lower difficulty? If anything else, the gameplay is manipulated in a way that the gameplay can be showcased. Whether devs are playing one another or the difficulty is lowered, we’re not going to receive these features precisely as they are shown. It’s simply the nature of marketing.

Meant to say 27 shots mb

Indeed! Maybe for the 30th anniversary this year, we’ll get some exciting news about the new game.

I appreciate the kind words!

Firstly, it’s not that serious, so take a deep breath. Secondly, if you know anything about goaltending in this game, you’ll know that one tee, close quarters, etc. will freeze your goalie if you don’t move in time because the game is already registering that shot as a goal. So, the animation that allowed me to “save a goal” is quite literally the difference since I was initially covering short side before attempting to save the one timer.

Sounds like the shooter had CQ - you can hear the trait activate during the shot. Goalie was probably moving as the pass occurs, but like OP said, certain shooting traits freeze the tendy in this game. Still a nice save to preserve the lead.

“E. A. Sports. You bought the game.” lmao.

Average ea sports moment

@@Sylis-hb5fp I think that I would have been more pissed if they did call it a goal (which they have in the past). All of that just for my glove to phase through the net.

I’m quite certain that it’s a celebration that you equip. You may have to find it in the store or unlock it.

You may very well be right 😅 especially with how the postseason matchups are looking at this point. But I well say that this is the best they’ve looked since the Matthews era started. If they can’t elevate their play in the postseason, it won’t matter. 1967 will continue to live on.

Thank you! You must be pleased as a Canes fan with the trade deadline. I hope you guys finally get over the hump. Love Rod and I hope he wins another championship as a coach.

@@bdangles19 Thanks!

It’s definitely an art as much as a science. Defense is a position that I’ve grown to love after years of playing forward!

And yet you still watched. That's all you could do.

was a really good defensive play tbf

Well, he went to the backhand and I was luckily able to get a stick on it. His loss, my gain :)

@@bdangles19 yeah still good job not giving up on it, but he had a window to shoot low blocker side and didn’t take it
