Pulling Goalie

Scottababc · 02-18-2020, 05:45 PM

When I try to pull my goalie the game crashes once the opposition shoots on net. The way I am pulling my goalie is, from in the simulation, going to the lineup and removing my G1 from the line.

That won't pull the goalie, it'll just empty the goalie spot in the lineup, hence the crash when someone shoots on him. Pulling a goalie is handled automatically by the on-ice AI, it'll do it in once the team is losing and under the time limit set in the global tactics and in a situation where it makes sense to do so (usually with the team in possession of the puck, preferably outside of its own zone).

I see, I was unaware of that, is there a way to manually pull the goalie early? Or is it only up to the assistant?

Just with the AI right now. I'd like to add the option to do it manually at some point, though.
