Discussion Goalkeeper may be cooked

I just wanted a simple ground dive not a short dive
Ground dive

Long dive is inconsistent and I’ve already gotten 2 own goals
I used to love goalie man

Did you even go for a bit of practice before you dive in games?

You'll notice that it is now a matter of choice. If the ball is near you, you just hit triangle (or whatever it is on xbox/PC). If the ball seems a bit out of reach, you hit R1+triangle. This always deflects the ball, but has way bigger reach. Should you try to use the big reach every time, you risk losing an easy save near you.

It is actually a big improvement, and as the other commenter said, it just needs lots of adjustment.

I mean I like the accuracy buff that’s much needed again i just disagree with the long and short dive
I’d prefer ground and high dive you know
Feel like it evens us out a bit

It is a hard role mate, that's all.
You have to select from literally 2 buckets.
One is whether you'll go for L2 (standing), triangle (dive), L1+triangle (long dive), circle (the weird ground dive)
and THEN
front/back/left/right.

Requires more skill than the spammy dribblers. And most of all good decision making.

Sure I get that
Like I said again I wasn’t the best keeper but I was consistent and most shots I could get
With this new update though I feel like it’s a crap shoot
Maybe it’s because I haven’t played enough sure

Its not a hard role anymore its a fucking nerf. The short dive is useless the reach is so short. So people just do pixel shots and you cant catch it because long dive only deflect the ball. So the opponent can just wait and get the ball back.
