It's exactly like everyone else complained about how players just floated across the ice when they skated. Why is complaining about the goalies skating nit picky?

Depends how much the new skating affects goalies. Thing is that's just about the only good out of 2k8. Sure sure some people love pro control, personally I found it to be 2k's trademark clunky unintuitive mess however.

I dunno, for me it isn't as bad as people make it out. Certainly not as much a game breaker as the pass reception ease slider being flat out broken.

I hope the puck "plays" to it's actual size. There's a lot of those animations where the puck could go in 5 hole. A lot of times in NHL 12 goalies stopped a lot of shots cleanly and the ones that went in were like magic bullets going through people. It seemed like the puck played bigger than it was, if that makes any sense.

The goalies in this game move absolutely horrifically. All they do is float across the crease at warp speed. It's exactly like everyone else complained about how players just floated across the ice when they skated (which seems like it got fixed). Why can't I do that about the goalies? They need momentum and character. I like that they are focusing on goalies moving all their limbs, but making them move at a realistic rate is not nit picking when movement and reaction is the biggest part to goaltending. They cover up the goalies not making glitch goal saves by making goalies move at warp speed across the crease. That's not how it should be.

Asking that the goalies move more realistically = nit picky

ROTFLMFAO

I hope you knew that response was coming.

From what I`m reading,the general movement that you`re asking about is unchanged.

Despite improvement,supposedly, in the goalie AI,....and a few new animations,from what I`ve read in the last 24 hrs about the goalies
NHL13 is going to be another disappointment for human goalies.

I may or may not shoot myself if that is the case, Rogie. Human goalies need an overhaul. No way it can be ignored AGAIN.

It's a video game. Hey it would be super cool nifty if they mo capped a goalie down to the specific moment his weight transfers from one skate to the other for you guys animations and all. It's A VIDEO GAME.

Whatever.....it`s obvious they use very little motion capture for the goalies.
As long as the skaters get to move realistically and can have their exploits for scoring it`s all good.

Why is it that everyone that has ties to EA pulls this attitude when a legit complaint or comment is made.

How many of their customers actually play as a goalie consistently?

I'd guess it's around 5-10%...

There are just more pressing issues with the game.

thanks for clarifying that NHL 13 is a video game..

stuff like the goalie issues etc above, not nitpicking.

most realistic game right?
