Sprinting is very good, it makes the game more cool, and all good sports game have a sprint button.

Sprinting sucks. period. Go play on any of the top US DB clan servers and its off because its horrible for gameplay.

Also, i try out for "bouncy the kangaroo" or whatever you said every single game i play and most people would agree i'm one of the best offensive scorers in NA.

Just because its "cool" or cause "all good sports games" have it doesn't mean it works for DB. I'm going to say this for the 4th or 5th time on these new forus already...

IF YOU WANT TO SPRINT, GO PLAY FIFA AND LEAVE US DBers ALONE FFS!

If you hate sprinting that much then just don't play with it or stop playing DB period... (that will also get rid of your lame spamming all over the place)

Sprinting is not that bad, tho I enjoy playing without it much more. (Requires more strategy, teamplay etc., and sprinting causes lag

)

If everyone who hated sprinting stopped playing DB, we'd be left with mostly n00bs.

sprinting makes the difference between good and bad teams bigger....
so that makes no sense

I claim, all who don't like it, still don't know how it has to be used.

Sprinting is a great addition to DB, despite the people who feel DB was perfect 3 versions ago and cry like little girls about every change made. It needs to be tweaked tho, you can sprint too far and it recharges a little too fast. Should be limited more to make it more valuable.

I haven't experienced any lag that I can attribute to sprinting, though there still seems to be hitches that developed with the 1.5 release.

Little story:
After I finally succeed connecting a server (4-5 tries - all of them has a nonstop lag, that I disconnect coz of it) , About a day ago, I used sprinting once to see how it is.

Cool, I thought, and began playing.
After 10 secs I used it againb to get somewhere more quickly (DOH), I had a nonstop lag again, and disconnected.

Laggeh!
Could be nice, But as u could read - dunno exactly how is it.

find another server.

Personally i think sprinting is useful, its allowed me to dive back into goal at the last second, also move more quickly into saving volly shots. A few suggestions from me..

The stamina bar shouldnt go down if you have your finger on the sprint button and are standing still..

If you are crouched, stamina should recharge faster.. and finally..

The more full the stamina bar is, the faster it should recharge.. for example, if it takes 10secs to get to 50%, it should only need to take 5 to get to 100% (NOT ACTUAL FIGURES!!), this means that people will wait before sprinting again, cause that extra second may give them the extra push they need.

just my 2c

ffa it sucks, cause most ppl are sprinting all the time with no reason...but in fun/dbl matches it really roxx...there are so many great moves which could be done with sprinting

ffa>it's "ok"
dbl>it roXX

just my opinion...

i dont understand why ppl are complaining. the option to turn it on or off was put in to stop ppl complaining. if you dont want sprint, bug the server admins.

Z_Man · Post by **Z_Man** » 10-03-2003 00:45

Even though I think sprinting sucks as it is, with enough tweaking it could really add a lot to the game. It shouldn't last more than 2 seconds, and it should recharge fairly quickly if your standing still (2 seconds?). If your moving, it should recharge pretty slow (10 seconds?). I'm really not sure what recharge times would play good, it'd just have to be tested out. And IMO jumping shouldn't play a factor in it, even as nice as it is to get rid of the bunny hoppers.

Yeah its an option right now, but the few servers that have sprint off are usually full.

I prefer the game without sprinting. If it's there, I use it, but it makes me feel dirty.

If pubs wanna use it, go right ahead. But for CB and DBL matches, it's just cheap.

^^^^^
what he said is exactly it.
sprint would add so much more depth to the game.
yes, it does need tweaking, but so has everything else. that is the nature of making things from scratch.

offsides will/would REQUIRE sprint. it is a very tactical/strategic ability that should be used as such.

[22:33] <|-NS-|night> but this scrim is why i want sprint
[22:33] <|-NS-|night> the game is boring as hell like this
[22:34] <|-NS-|night> everyone is the same speed, there is no strategy, no making runs, no trying to get open
[22:34] <|-NS-|night> no breakaways
[22:34] <|-NS-|night> getting a long ball pass and running up the field in slowmotion does not count
[22:35] <|-NS-|night> if there is space to recieve a pass, u have no way to get there and make use of it
[22:37] <|-NS-|night> this game is just not what it could be and should be

[22:38] <|-NS-|night> it will be tweaked out
[22:38] <|-NS-|night> just like everything else
[22:39] <|-NS-|night> im better scoring as an opportunist
[22:39] <|-NS-|night> cuz right now forward sux cuz u cant get space or time for yourself to do anything
[22:40] <|-NS-|night> its boring as forward
