I also cover the goalie gameplay in NHL 25. 1. I don't think positional play is as important this year. The puck goes into the goal rather than my goalie holding it. 2. the save animations are too slow. But you can't stop the faster shots with them. Because the players can now have more points on the wristshot and slapshot. 3. we can't react well on the break and have to make quick decisions. The shooter is much more manoeuvrable than the goalkeeper. 4. goalkeeper obstruction is just so random that every situation is actually a 50-50 chance that the goal will count or not. 5. the screen effect is too high. Even with 96 vision you get stupid goals. 6. if you want to react to a cross-crease pass and slide over to the other corner, you can get stuck in an animation and not react to the shot. 7. the exaggerated reaction to bad passes is a disaster. 8. the rebound control is also random. No matter if you have 80 or 92 you always get the same rubbish. 9. the same is with fivehole, it can't be that 78 feels exactly the same as 90 completely confusing. 10. i have the feeling that the right stick has a delay. But that's subjective, it may not be true. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things I've seen, in general, about the defensive play. 1. the defenseman stands very well, sees the puck and still can't intercept it, so the forward behind him can slide it in. 2. the defender lies down on his stomach to prevent the pass, but it still goes under him. 3. it feels like the shooter can always shoot, regardless of whether the defender is there or not. I'm curious what else you can say about this. Best regards RPH_31
