  1. Tuner: "Increased ability to make saves in tight to their body and decreased ability when reaching to reward better puck tracking and cutting off angles." Puck closer to torso --- Easier to save Puck further away from torso --- Harder to save This is a good thing: "No more goal line sitting" "Increased ability to make saves on cross grain shots by tuning movement so goalies will stay square even if the user is requesting to move away from the shot direction." Mixed feelings about that: Momentum after shot has been decreased so snipes should be easier to save, but one timers harder to save. It is more like tuner 1.00. "Increase save success on blocking saves." These "blocking saves" are shoulder saves. Wonder who invent blocking save -term. I don't think it was even a problem, but will take it anyway. "Decreased the impact goalie movement to help promote puck tracking so that good angles and positioning mean the most for a goalie’s ability to make a save." Not a actual tuner! : Just explanation of above tuner's. Like collection of those... "Decreased screen effect slightly." Goalie will be screened less. Note that EA adjusted atributes of skaters so resuls should be less deflect/turd goals. Good thing: As a goalie you cannot "save" those goals and EA has heard that. In theory. "Increased goalie speed for post-to-post movement." Very noticeable. Good and requested tuner. "Increased AI goalie’s awareness for a possible shot off a faceoff and increased ability to react after a save to increase their chance of getting back in position and making rebound saves." Couple of good tuner's. You cannot blame game now for your slow reactions... Next some inside detail look about goalie class updates: There is more separation between classes and attributes that has changed: These are in text format: Increased speed and agility of all goalies and added variance with Standup being the highest and Butterfly being the lowest. Increased Hybrid goalie’s recover rating so that he is now faster recovering than the Butterfly goalie. Increased rebound control of all classes. Standup goalie’s will still have the lowest rating while Butterfly goalies will have the highest. Increased poke check ability for all classes. Hybrid has the best poke check rating of the three classes and Butterfly has the lowest. Hybrid goalie now has the best stick side and paddle down rating of the three classes. Increased vision for all classes. Butterfly is still the lowest and Standup is still the highest. Increased 5-hole rating for both the Hybrid and Butterfly classes to separate them from the Standup goalie. Increased rebound control for the AI goalie class. And here are the same in picture format. Hope you find this intresting and feel free to ask something more what is still confusing about goalies.
