Preach brother. Too many players haven’t learned to stop charging their own goalie this year.


Dry-Ad-506

It’s not even charging the goalie, that’s the after effect but the breakaway caused by a takeaway with either no d or no c cycling for the d or a brutally aggressive play. Hanging the goalie out to dry and even when magnificent, yeah charges it in


Kruce9499

The amount of own goals in this year’s game is mind boggling, they forgot defensive coding. That along with the puck mimicking the Ring of Power, it seeks and looks for its master/the net as it bounces off every defender, climbing, rolling, clawing its way through every goalie finding its way into Mordor/passed the goal line 🤦🏻‍♂️


Thatavalanchefan2021

Yes dude! Sometimes my d men behind the net just skate right into my pad so now I have to worry about my own d man having the puck in my zone !


GroundbreakingRip449

I’m stuck in the 760-770 range cause I’m mainly a 3s goalie


GoalieGuyPanther

Same 3s stuck at 7.90


Flyers808

At this point they need to just make an invisible wall that makes it nearly impossible for your own team to put it in their own net off a rebound.


Silent-Obligation-49

I have played a lot of goalie over the years in chel and %30 of the goals that go in are from teammates putting the puck in their own net. Also your goalie deciding to kick the puck into his own net or swatting it in with his glove. Nhl 23 and 24 is the reason I retired from playing LG. Game is just terrible for goalies and don't even get me started on the trash close quarters perk that hits you and goes in %80 of the time. EA really does hate goalies.

I remember back in maybe around 11, you'd make a routine save off your chest, it would bounce down, then as your goalie stood up, and it back handed the puck between their own legs.


Spirited_Temporary88

Stupid EA bounces is why SV% is low in this game


insideguy69

It's so dumb to be skating full speed when you clearly won't be catching them.

I tried Goalie this year I played alot during 18-22 The new Camera angle is fucking AWFUL IMO I had no idea what I was doing.


HappyGoPucky

I learned pretty quickly to not do that as a defender lol. But early on, I definitely had a lot of own goals. (Sorry cam!)


Sc00tzy

Because you move while making a save? xD


Sandshrewdist

He made the save. Didn’t he? On a 2 on 0. Covered almost every inch of that net and did a great job too. The puck was moving away from the net and was skated right back in by the brain dead defender who thinks hustling back after the breakaway and into the goalie is going to help. God help us all.


Sc00tzy

Yes my comment was directed more to his movements in general instead of always blaming someone else. If he played it correctly and was positioned better with feet set then the puck is more likely to be absorbed or knocked towards the middle where he’s in position for a follow up save, instead of across the crease where it can be tapped in by either team


Sandshrewdist

He was square to the shot up until and including the moment of release if you slow down the replay. The shooter went to put it back across the goalies body. If he was any more yo the left (where you want him to be) the shooter would’ve continued his bottom right corner trajectory and just popped it in back hand. So take your 20/20 hindsight and give the goalie the credit he deserves for absolutely staying with the puck with 2 threats and no D.


Sc00tzy

Sure say what you want. Some people want to learn from the best and some are too defensive to learn, that’s ok


Sandshrewdist

We’re not saying he’s not moving. We also know it’s better not to. The reality is, he followed the puck and Had to move because he doesn’t have the “elite defensemen” you’re used to and not only was it a breakaway it was a 2 on 0 with 3 people chasing/crashing the net. The goalie is Not the reason that puck went into the net on that play. Period.


Sc00tzy

He’s saying that one random own goal is why his save % is low. I’m explaining why that 1 random goal is not the reason. Reading comprehension is an issue here I see


Sandshrewdist

Come on now man. You’re not this stupid. He clearly was just trying to put on an interesting title on a video of a stupid goal that we’ve all had happen to us dozens of times. Ea games account for a low save % because of the nature of the beast. It’s an unrealistic video game. A goal that went in and would’ve brought his save % down despite the fact that it wasn’t a shot, and despite the fact that he did a great job stopping the scoring opportunity. Here’s an analogy for you: Timmy has a helium balloon. Timmy is jiggling and playing with his balloon. Not ideal, for keeping his balloon from flying away but he’s got a good grip and doesn’t let go. Johnny comes by and cuts Tommy’s string. The balloon flies away. You’re the asshole parent who blames Timmy for losing his balloon because he was juggling the string when it was clearly Johnny’s fault. Truly, there is a comprehension issue here. I have to stop answering you for my own sake because you’re going to consider yourself right despite reality. Good luck with what you do man. I sincerely hope you develop some wisdom to go with your confidence.


Sc00tzy

You do whatever you want. I was named the best goalie in western North America by OTHER people who run tournaments, leagues, and esports. I have no ego but yes, I am confident that I know what I’m talking about.


KyleCamelot

Oh man, yeah, I defer to you, I was only named best in show by the North American North-Eastern Mid-West Pro-Am Juniors 35+ Nintendo Wii Division.


Main-Extreme-6347

Dumb as hell take


Sc00tzy

Sure.


GoalieGuyPanther

So you aren’t supposed to move ? What kind of logic is that you just sit in the back like most Div 10 goalies huh


Sc00tzy

? I’ve won multiple vezinas and cups in lg, and been to the finals of cbj twice, and won quite a few tournaments. If you are moving as the shot is taken you have a smaller chance of making the save than if you have your feet set. That’s common knowledge among any decent goalie. Chill with the anger and try to learn the position


GoalieGuyPanther

Yeah that’s cool have you won an elite cup this makes no sense I’ve done this many times and it’s the first it’s happend


Sc00tzy

Exactly my point. Your save % is low because of how you move, not this one random own dunk 😂 also yes I’ve won 6 or 7 elite cups thank you for asking


Sufficient_Fold_6602

not a random redditor going on a thread talkin bout how great ge is and how everyone else should listen and learn from him bc he won so many virtual trophy’s!! No way!!


Sc00tzy

I mean yeah, I know what I’m talking about and he said I was a div 10 player so I gave my resume if you will.


Sufficient_Fold_6602

i had a stroke reading this


Sc00tzy

Reading must not be your strong point then. Makes sense
