TOTW Gibson (87) Review

Other

This is my first review, so I apologize if it isn't very good.

The short version of this post is that TOTW Gibson is the best goalie I've used in this game. I originally picked him up for his 2B, 2SB, and used him as my backup for Kolzig, but what ended up happening was Gibson became my starter because simply put, as long as you play defence, Gibson will save almost everything.

My review will be put into categories that I find to be most important in a goalie.

High - 8/10 If Gibson has one weak spot, it'd have to be his high blocker, his glove is slightly above average, but I'd say that his blocker is rather weak when you shoot high.

Low - 9.5/10 In short; if you shoot it low on Gibson, it's not going in.

Point Shots- 8.5/10 Gibson does the best he can on point shots, the way I play, I try to limit point shots as much as possible, so Gibson doesn't really see many for me to give a proper review on this category, but from what I've seen so far I'd say he's average-slightly above average when it comes to point shots

Cross-Crease One Timers- 9/10 As far as cross crease one timers go, Gibson is the best goalie I've had for defending against them. I regularly find him making diving saves to prevent the cross crease goals from going in

Saving Shots He Should- 9/10 Saves most of the shots he should, doesn't really let in a lot of weak ones for me.

Saving Shots He Shouldn't- 9.5/10 Gibson has kept me in many games because he's constantly saving shots that should be sure goals. Not much else I can say besides WOW.

Overall- 9.5/10 Obviously no goalie in this game would get a perfect rating (at least out of any of the high end goalies I've used.

TL;DR if you play good defence, Gibson is one of the best goalies you can find, and he's very cheap, I got mine for 10k.

Hope this review can help someone, and I hope Gibson is as good for everyone else as he is for me
