#1 Lose the damn magnetic goalie!!

#2 Let us be able to just tap in a loose puck that's sitting by the crease. It's happened to all of us: The goalie makes the save and the rebound sits in the open crease. Yet, surprisingly,

as your player goes to the open side that magnetic goalie sucks it up b/c by the time you 'click' on to your player, then shoot at the open net, it's too late.

I hate that to, and its impossible to score from the back of the net going in the "kitchen way"It would be ok if the goalie made a save like, with his glove, blocker, stick or whatever but not as you say just by getting it "glued" to him.

Goalies should not be "immortal" either.

The goalies should also be able to lose track of the puck.
no goalie has 100% control of where the puck is all the time.

The big prob. w/ that is, if goalies actually did lose track of the puck once they had it, you'd have to crash the crease to get at it. And that's definitely something EA wants no part of. They don't want anything to do w/ goalies getting knocked into. Whatever happened to "It's in the game..."

EA probably thinks the goalies wear them big pads for show.

no, its the NHL that won't allow that, like they won't allow blood, true franchise mode, helmets flying off, goalies getting run into and the like. They want any NHL game made to be a "whole some and fun family entertainment product." Bull-****ing-shit. That and get rid of Jim Houghson and DT... get Gary Throne and Bill Clement and lets make this a REAL HOCKEY GAME!

goalies should be able to be crashed in their crease.

SKills comp is a must do for next year.
