Goalies

Playoff Series. Round 1. *edited correction. The 2 star goalie started all 4 games over the 4.5 star goalie.*
This will cost him his playoff run. And likely another paying customer gone. Why continue to play a broken game mode?

I wouldn't say that it needs improvement. From an online league perspective where you need to simulate more than one game at a time? The goalie start settings are 100% broken. There is no logical reasoning that this should happen in the playoffs. None.
The fact that this is possible, means there is a broken feature in this game. There should be no conceivable way to make a 2/2 goalie start all 4 games of a playoff series over a 4.5/4.5 goalie. Period.
It makes it unplayable. It needs to be fixed prior to FHM9.
Literally ruins the fun of the game and has chased away several paying customers from our league. We've been together, buying the new game each year, porting our saved game file over for over 2 years now and this has chased away many of our former GMs.
It absolutely breaks any immersion in the game.

I have a good idea of the sheer amount of hours that the devs put in to this game, how readily they respond to posts here and how they have helped out with bugs. I could not applaud them more.
But this NEEDS to be addressed.
For all intents and purposes, the "stick with starter in playoffs", "play the better goalie" is completely useless. When you have a 4.5/4.5 and 2/2 goalie, there is no such thing as a weighting system that should allow that 2/2 goalie to set foot on the ice in the playoffs.

Meanwhile on another team in our league, the AI started his better/starter goalie for 33 straight games. His goalies have a 70/12 split.

Again, weighting goalie starts doesn't need tweaking. It's broken and needs to be replaced.
Absolutely brutal.
I will not be buying FHM again if it's not fixed.
