AI Pulling Goalie Prematurely


Recommended Posts

Not sure this is a bug, but more just a quirk of the AI. First, I'm not concerned with time remaining in the game, as it is becoming more common for a team to pull their goalie with more than two minutes remaining. I'm talking about the timing of the pulling of the goalie based upon possession and location of the puck on the ice. I've had several instances where a team will score a late goal to take the lead, and the AI will have the goalie pulled before the goal celebration is over. This is usually followed by losing the face-off at center and a quick empty net goal.

Other quirks related to pulling the goalie that I have noticed are that the AI will never pull the goalie when down by two goals, and will never pull the goalie when shorthanded.

I remember a playoff game, where I was winning 3 - 2 with just over 2 minutes left.

The other team were facing elimination and they removed their goalie and I immediately score to make it 4 - 2.

They never pulled their goalie after that.

1. It was a little early to pull the goalie..

2. They should of pulled their goalie a second time.

I mean you have nothing to lose and with 2 minutes left, anything can happen?..

Especially that they were facing elimination..
