The time kill and other concerns

You got 5 players, enough to do sufficient pressing to get the ball....
at least it will be too risky for em...

I got a simple solution for yall, don't get behind on the scoreboard and you don't have to worry about the other team wasting time.

*waits for a smiley face to denote a joke*

by that argument the game should be 1 minute with a golden goal to decide it.

david... 5 players, but then you need to have the keep cover a man... it is risky for both teams, but of course it is more risky for the team without the ball... its a positive feedback loop with a small chance to escape. but! i do see how a press ...could... beat a ball control... i will refrain from further comment in this thread until i can try it out.

if the keep is standing outside of box with ball that is incredibly dangerous and any pick off would result in ez goal... since everyone else is covering a man the keep is just gonna pass to the guy u were covering so if u pay attention to where that man is on radar a goal can be scored since keep isnt invincible and u know exactly where the ball is going to be passed to...

time killing isnt an end game in many tough games we have played we have won even when the team has tried to kill time... if teams wanna lay down and call it quits after 1-0 fine by me

however the game is still easily under control even when a team is time killing, i think it was the first qual game against sop we won because they tried to kill out the clock and we tied it up and finally scored with 2 seconds left to win...it aint impossible folks

I didn't view the movie or anything, but i do hate such lame tactics like turtling, tho i'd still say its valid tactic. there is one suggestion i'd like to make.

the double goalie thing can be extremely lame, esp if it piles up to more then just that on a server. why not make it so only the goalie can catch the ball while its in the goalie area. thus making it much harder for defense to just line up players across the goal line to block all the shots.

actually i'v seen triple goalies in volley only games. The team was up 7-4 when me and Hoju joined for the other team and we got it to like 6-7 in less than 3 minutes and all they did was flood the net. The only fair way to make double keeping go away would be to make a gib ball effect on the ball when it hits the player in the crease and make it keep traveling very slowly but he'd have to be in the crease for a certain amount of time like 2 seocnds or so.

also Puck thats what i did essentially and all Psyche did was bomb it over my noggen with an unlocked pass really high in the air.

OMG, what is all this bitching about? SOP YL passed the worst we've ever passed and Rush capitalized on it. End of story. And our lineup was ghetto so that didn't help. And about this time killing shit. If I was up 3-1 against a good team, I'd also and do killl as much time as I can. Make them come after you, it's their fault they're down 3-1. And if your up and wasting time then they have to come at you and that sometimes opens up the D. Great job Rush Red, you guys beat us fair and square. But we will meet again.

ok... well i think DB is fine without mods... during a ballers game i held it, someone came in and i didn't get it to who i was passing to and i got "pwned" but it was just a pickup game and they didn't know we were playing keepaway... so that was part of the prob... but yeah, i dont think it's impossible to force the other team to error. until i see it happen i will not comment further.

Hahah! Larc i pwned you tryin to play keep away and i ran from tha other side of tha field just to make u eat it time waster:P

Larc · Post by **Larc** » 17-04-2003 07:30

punk. i was just playing around... i could have easily kept it away from you, but i was seeing how hard it would be to not walk into the pzone, hit the guy you left, without you hitting me at all... plus my team didn't even know what i was doing so they didn't do the best job at getting open... so shut your smack talk hole.

seriously though... i said i got "pwned". i felt that was enough and didn't see the need for you to put me down more or make it public knowledge that it was you, cuz its not a big accomplishment. so seriously stfu xelent... i mean sin (xelent will this this is funny)

Are we still on about time wasting? .. im not readin 4 pages :p (i read the 1st one tho..)

Time wasting is a tactic.. just cos that shite game called "basketball" has a shot clock crap thing doesnt mean DB should. No sport should

Theres a way to make the keeper pass the ball, you run at him.. then stand outside his box, preventing a pass back, till they continue up.. do that with ur upfront man..

This shot clock you're suggest, quite frankly, sucks. It makes good clans greater and new clans crapier. They have to rush a goal at a good def who can just hold em up till the clock runs down, that sucks.. some goals take ages to build up (one last night we played, they passed it about for about 2 mins in our half b4 scoring.. time wasting? no, tacticly playin!) and some take seconds (like continues passing thro a sive defence)

In conclusion - its fine the way it is, if you cant close down time wasters you dont deserve to be playing Deathball .. it's even teams, if u cant close down the keeper i dunno what you're doing...

Your example, I don't believe would be effected by the clock they were suggesting... they suggested no more than X amount of time with the ball in your own half... meaning that if they passed the ball for 2 minutes in your half... nothing would happen, because the clock only applies to your own half.
