So cheating a little bit as always been the way to try to get saves you normally wouldn't get because of your ratings.

So what is a human goalie supposed to do ? Well, normally you have to anticipate and not always be square to the puck at your five hole rating might allow a goal if you are exactly where you need to be. That's because until I get more training and more points, being in the right position does not guarantee you to make a stop. Every single year that I've played, I was in rated as A+ positing but C or D+ rating in saves. The issue comes from the fact that human goalie highly depends on their player stats to stop the puck. No GM in their right mind would allow such a goalie to remain in the league. 825 to 0.850 save percentage and a 4.00 GAA (believe me, this is good stats for playing offline) but this year, so far, I am almost at 7.00 GAA and a low. I should not be a goalie in the NHL with the rating that I have.

The integration of X-Factor and the removal of playing the in the CHL, AHL before making it to the league put you against much higher rated player that a goalie of OVR 70 should ever face in their career. Unfortunately, this years iteration makes it an impossible task. One that brings rewards when you perform well in a game but often make you want to quit after a few games. It has always bas been an adventure of frustration. They have the uncanny abilities to exploit the angle faster than any human can react.
