    No there definitely isn't a decrease in shitty goals. I played G for about 6 games and I can't tell u the number of times I was slammed into by the other team and goal was scored. Or tires being thrown on me that are slower than an old lady crossing a busy highway and being in perfect position and my goalie does a ~*~* animation where he moves his pad to make a either left or right pad save.

    Oh let's also bring up the fact that the goalie paddle down is absolutely broken. The other day PHJ had paddle down and don't move at all the that shot 5 hole and it went through him.

    Post to post movement is like moving in tar. Goalies still get stuck on their posts. Goalie interference is almost not a thing anymore.

    I don't mind being in position and being sniped by a well placed shot. But when you are knocked into the nose bleed section and they score its a different story.

    One person's experience does not determine the overall consensus of the beta.

    Yes you can make plenty of passes around the boards that's for sure. But all defenses will have to do is sit in the center of the zone after trapping the blue line. Once everyone figures it out like some have you will have the slowest and dullest 6s experience that one can remember.

    Paddle down has always been shit anyway. No one uses it.

    I was slammed a couple of times. Goals didn't go in because of that.

    I like the post to post. It's faster than last yr.

    Is there a difference between goalie builds? I don't think. Besides some animations. I see animations with standup I never saw with butterfly.

    Goaltending is way more easier in 18, but the slow pace and the fact you can't get any shot from the blue line make it also kind of boring. In 17 you have to think way more faster and it makes it more challenging, but goalie movement are more accurate than they were in 17 so it's pretty nice.
