there has to be something they could do.. but im sure they dont want to take that user control away. heck, they could take it away and not even tell us. we would then think wow, they changed it up etc.
Where are these shots being taken from? If a guy is in the high slot with great shooting position and time and space to get off the shot. He should maintain great accuracy. If he is being arrassed by a defender accuracy should suffer. I don't mind beating guys top shelf a lot because if I have an easy shot from the slot because people wanna pull themselves out of position, then the goalie shouldnt bail them out time and time again. It should be more that your good defense forces a bad quality shot, and for the goalie an easy save.

The plays that irk me the most, are the 2 on 2 plays where you play the passing lane, and the gaolie still overplays the pass and gives up the short side shot. Not realitic in that the defense dictates that the goalies should stay with the shooter. And your AI defenseman, won't take the pass, nor will he pressure the shooter. This seems to be fixed, At least the way the goalie plays it anyway. The other play that irks me is what I call the soft shot exploit. Guys will shoot soft or even saucer pass it to the goalie. the puck bounces off the pads and trickles out front. But the goalie whil in the butterfly doesn't cover and glides away from the puck leaving easy rebound goals Those 2 situations piss me off. If I allow someon to just skate into the slot with space and a chance to rip a wrister, I am not mad at the game if they score, I am made at myself for playing shoddy defense. That is one of the easiest thing to stop. Protect the slot first and foremost.
