Modern pads are designed for easy break-in and are generally game ready.

One should never "beat them with a sledgehammer" to make them less 'bouncy'.

Pads are usually designed for the modern butterfly goaltender, the 'bounciness' needs to be managed by proper technique. It is fundamental to learn how to control your rebounding i.e. - directing shots to the corner or kicking them past the shooter.
