Unique goalie animations make goalies worse

DISCUSSION

Anyone notice how the more unique animations a goalie has the worse they perform on average? For example on the alumni team, both Marty Brodeur and Jacques Plante have a ton of unique animations, but the AI isn’t smart enough to actually know when to use them, causing them to sometimes DODGE THE FKIN PUCK in favour of doing one of their unique animations instead of just doing the default one and easily saving the puck. Why add all these unique animations if the AI isn’t good enough at determining when it will actually help them make a save? This makes 94 OVR goalies perform much worse than even 85 OVRs that just do the default animations. Fix this shit
