Goalies hot and cold

Krazykanook · 11-07-2017, 03:20 PM

Hi,

Playing the Oilers, Brossoit got hot in December *4 fire logos*. Talbot hasn't started a game in 15 games now. LB hasn't played overly great (we are 5-9) and they still won't start Talbot.

I am playing were I can't make changes so I can't tell the coach to start Talbot. Is this a bug? I just think when a goalie gets hot it shouldn't last 2 months and definitely shouldn't stay if he is 5-9.

What are the settings on your Strategy-Goalie Starts screen? If it's really heavily weighted towards starting the hottest goalie and/or backup, and some of the others are at or near 0, it could produce that kind of result, possibly helped along a bit if Brossoit had a couple of shutouts in that run.

I have it set at 2, but can no longer change it as I'm in challenge mode. I checked and he hasn't been good. Below .900 save percentage and just recently had a .815 and is STILL 5 flames hot.

How can I change the setting?

Can you upload the save? Instructions here. I'd like to try reconstructing what's going on, that seems wrong on a couple of counts. We've made some adjustments to the start preferences for the next update, but nothing that would seem to apply here.
