Your team absolutely matters, but what I meant is that if you were to retool your build and put higher values into things like Skating or Puckhandling and not Positioning and Reflexes you'd see a significant difference in your performance (and not a good one). A few seasons ago I had a lower positioning value and while I was a decent starter, when I was able to max it to 20, it's like my player changed overnight. I think as a goalie you can have less TPE and still be awesome (like Kryst) but where that TPE is placed is significant.

Let's look at Kryst's build:

Positioning: 18
Passing: 11
Poke Check: 12
Blocker: 17
Glove: 17
Rebound: 17
Recovery: 16
Puckhandling: 11
Low Shots: 16
Skating: 11
Reflexes: 17

*Aggression: 8
Mental Toughness: 15
*Determination: 15
*Team Player: 15
*Leadership: 15
Goalie Stamina: 15
*Professionalism: 15


What we see are high values in Positioning, Blocker, Glove, Rebound, Recovery, Low Shots, Reflexes. These stats are essential to having success as a goalie (high sv%). IMO Positioning is by far one of the most important stats and if we look at Kryst's build it is his highest valued stat.

Let's look at my build:

Goalie Ratings
Positioning: 20
Passing: 12
Poke Check: 15
Blocker: 18
Glove: 18
Rebound: 18
Recovery: 18

I have an edge over Kryst because I have more TPE --- BUT our builds are very, very similar. So any person looking to be a goalie, remember this setup, save it, and build toward it. You will have success this way.

Heres my build. Why am I so far below Kryyst in save percentage

I think a SV% of .910 is very good, what I was saying was that where you place your TPE matters, and you have a great build which is why you have a good game rating and SV%. If your build was different, your stats would be far worse. Your team still matters in this game, but as a goalie you are performing well.
