empty net+ teams signing 1A backups.

Eugus · 11-12-2016, 03:25 AM

couple things:

- The number of empty net goals seems a little low, just by a bit. anyone else find this or is it just my playthrough ?

-After a couple seasons I'm noticing teams signing 2 1A goalies.The stats are from the year before they signed in a backup role.

Ex: New Jersey had Schneider+Bishop(4.5 star 2year 8+mill contract). Pretty sure they did this to reach the cap but a goalie with bishops ratings prob shouldnt accept an offer for backup. Neither had bad stats the seasons prior either.

Bishop

Schneider

Montreal had Cory Crawford(4.5star@2mill)+Price.

Crawford

Price

anyone else having this happen?

Yeah, I know about the goalie free agent thing. I think I've worked out a way to get the AI to stop doing it, just need to get it coded and tested.

You're probably already aware but i figured i'd mention this anyway, the goalie signings don't stop at two 1A's, some teams will sign 3+.
