Mid-game goalie switch
Posted: Sat Sep 25, 2021 9:09 pm
It would be fun to have a feature to switch goalies in the middle of a game. Like how in preseason, teams often switch their goalie after 20/30/40 minutes. I know that in my league, we encourage managers to treat preseason like a real camp and not just dress their regular lineups.
We could have a setting on the Lines screen to do "Switch goalie after:" and then the user inputs a value. If set to 20 or 40, the goalie change would happen to start the next period. If another value, the goalie change would happen at the next stoppage. Maybe set to 0 means no scheduled goalie change would occur.
The only thing about this though would be that we obviously do not want to break the formula that a goalie gets pulled after giving up X number of goals.
