NHL 12: Goalie Attributes Guide

[RaychelSnr]

Playing goalie -- even in video game form -- can be a nerve-racking, adrenaline-pumping experience. But setting up your goalie's attributes beforehand can become frustrating without knowing exactly what all the ratings do.

In part two of Operation Sports' NHL 12 attribute guide, we take a close look at the individual ratings that determine whether a goalie performs like a Vezina Trophy candidate or a career backup.

And still no explanation for what "Consistency" means in goalie attributes...

Interesting they allow you to put points into things that have no effect on human controlled players, and that the "breakaway" attribute actually does something. Also good to know "angles" does nothing either for your pro. So it seems to me the best attribs to load up on would be shot recovery, speed, and the glove saves.

"Consistency" is probably just a sim thing and determines how often a goalie may have a bad game.

@ Jayson Young - I am just wondering where you're getting this information, because I didn't notice any sources cited in the guide. People have been debating what the attributes do for some time now, because there is no where to find details on goalie attributes in the game, at all.

So basically what I am asking is; did you just give you personal opinions in this guide based on your own testing or did you get this information from a creditable source, such as a EA sports employee?

Most of this information comes from the official EA Forums:

The developers there have confirmed what most of the attributes do.
