the other problem is that in an odd man rush in real hockey, taking the shot is a legitimate option. however, in EA games, players take the pass 100% of the time as there is no realistic chance at taking the shot working (unless you glitch which still doesnt solve the problem)
in the past i could be coming down the wing with brett hull and still wouldnt have a chance scoring so every single time i would pass. even in recent years when the ai got their magnetic sticks, it was still worth it to pass as at least i had a small chance at scoring. better than nothing...
so as he said, its not about super goalies. its about making the shot a realistic option on an odd man rush, and making the defenders not be zombies that just watch the puck go by.
a more minor 3rd problem is also with goalie logic. you can always pull off the cross crease even in tight on the goalie as he would never poke check or intercept or deflect the pass. he would watch the pass slide right by him so he could then try and make a desparation save. just block the pass and you solved the problem!
