Goalkeeping

[Snorlax]

Just wondering why there isn't a stat for shot stopping? Surely one of the most important duties of a goalkeeper?

Also how come we can't train a goalkeeper on shot stopping and one on one situations, again surely high up on goalkeeper training in real life?

Thanks for reading would appreciate your comments and views on this

I've always interpreted 'Reflexes' to essentially incorporate shot stopping. I've noticed goalkeepers who score higher in this attribute are better at shot stopping, especially so when combined with relevant physical attributes such as 'Agility'.

Basically shot stopping isn't an attribute in it's own right to me, but a combination of several goalkeeping attributes.

I would agree with Danchianski - reflexes is essentially shot-stopping. It incorporates the ability to react to a shot and block it in some manner. What good would reflexes be if it wasn't involving getting in front of a shot in some way? A keeper with a high Handling attribute is more likely to catch the ball off the reflex save, etc.
