Yeah I had to up the goalie sliders due to many high scoring games, that seemed to fix the goals going in by the defensemen and other odd goals.

This patch has totally ruined the game for me. I posted often what a great season I had going but I was waiting fir the shoe to drop. It not only dropped but EA put it on and kicked me square in the you know what....it's beyond bad. Skaters that don't move, bizarre ricochet pucks, constant own goals, goalies who have no idea where the puck is, super insane hits, low shot totals. It's as if EA released a whole new game, and a bad one. I'm quite sure my slider set is not meshing with the new patch but I simply don't have it in me to tweak all over again. Pretty disappointed. I was really enjoying the game this year but looks like my season is over. So sick of these patches and tuners and their horrific unintended consequences

I understand what you're trying to say. But if you liked the game.before the patch with fixes wouldn't you try it out on default settings first and then day I'm not playing the game anymore. Just a thought lol

That sucks getting the game playing great and then a patch/tuner ruins it.

Thankfully.. I was the opposite, game was so frustrating for me before the last patch/tuner and with some tweaks, it's finally playing good enough I'm not rage quitting anymore.

I agree the goalies, for some odd reason took a step back, but I've changed the goalie settings to what I have below and it's made a HUGE difference for me so far, at least after 10 or so games in my franchise post patch/tuner.

High scoring games are rare, I haven't seen an own goal, deflection goals are realistic and not the goofy ones, scoring seems to come from my better players like Tarasenko, Schwartz, etc.. in fact, goal variety has been great.

I was about to shelve the game, but messing with the goalie sliders (and a couple other "minor" tweaks) has made the game fun for me again. (until the next update, LOL)

I've even went back to 4/4 full sim settings as I think the extra fatigue helps to keep scoring down to a realistic pace.


Goalie Cross Crease Reaction Time – 60/60
Goalie Save Reaction Time – 60/60
Goalie Deflection Reaction Time – 60/60
Goalie Screen Effect – 50/50
Goalie Screen Persistence – 50/50

W 3-2 SOW
L 3-2 SOL
W 5-1
W 4-2
W 3-1
L 2-1
L 3-0
W 4-1 (3 + empty netter)

Last 6 games...

I know, I just walk away for bit because Im so angry about losing what I had I will never constructively work on the game without my head wanting to explode. It's just annoying that it's back to the drawing board every time a patch or tuner comes out. Oddly the patch didn't seem to mess my game up but when I played online it automatically downloaded the tuner and it's been a wreck since then. I still have the option to go back to my old tuner but it's just not the same anymore
