The AI goalie's poke check is really solid this year, I've been burned on a deke by it a couple of times and it was totally unexpected. EASHL the first time it happened to someone playing against us everyone thought he was going to score and it was like "what the hell just happened?"
I honestly don't even try cross-creases this year so far, more because I don't trust the execution (i.e. pass will either be picked, or it'll miss, or the other guy will whiff on the shot) than because I'm worried about a save. Maybe as I get more used to the new mechanics I'll be more comfortable doing it, but right now I keep and shoot or deke.
