Goal hanging...

[Minkster]

they should make sumthin like an extra zone that is inbetween the goal line and halfway line and the attackers can only stay in on the side nearest the goal for 5 secs or so before they have to move out of it again like the key in basket ball

[Surge]

or what? gib them and let them respawn on defense so they can defend.. defeats the purpose.

[NitrousOxide]

But what if players spawned around the centre circle, instead of just outside the penalty zone?

Yes, they would have less distance to get back to the opposition's penalty zone, but at least fragged players would no longer have the opportunity to instantly defend their own goal upon respawning.

[CorDawg]

Lets NOT change the game here, next thing you know if player on d gets fragged hell spawn in enemy end.

I agree with most of the points that have been said, and may be that if offside were introduced it would inhibit some amount of play, and there would be a 100% chance of noobs or arseholes hanging and ruining it.

If offside rule could be introduced with some slight changes as to not inhibit such passing/playing etc. that would be good, although, how it could be done, I have no idea.

Ah well, guess its back to keeper vs 3. One can dream, eh.

Still think it might be good if 1 pub had it ^^;

Maybe if ur done coding everything and bored? >:(

That would be after replays, botmatches, tutorials, an intro, working menus, no more bugs, db models, team jerseys and numbers on ur back X_X

One guy playing dedicated defense (not hanging around the pbox, but playing real defense) == Astro has 30 saves/0 let in.


No one playing defense == Random number of goals against.


Goal hanging isn't a problem, especially with someone playing smart defense.

[MeSSiaH{FCU}]

Yesh i no, but when is there really some1 playing def in pubs? X_X
I do it sometimes, but because no1 keeps for you when ur keeping, and its totally unrewarding, i just dont like it.

That and i suck in it ^_^ (almost forgot :p)

[Astroboy]

Have you ever tried asking someone to play D?

[MeSSiaH{FCU}]

Meh yes i ask for it mostly, yet the only thing that helps in pubs is spam..which i dont do (only in dbl matches' teamsay, on forums and irc :p)Mostly when there's some1 i no who can play def, yesh i ask them.

Like some random pubber will go defense for u :p funneh X'D

[Hybrid-Pale]

Only position I ever play is defence in pubs, why?

Because I know how it feels as keeper, to just have to sit there and watch about 4 guys(from opposite team) come running at you with ball, and all of your team is up at opposite end waiting on that pass so they can score.

Im a dedicated defender in pubs, so if you see me, (and you're keeper) you know you're covered, wel, kinda, didnt say I was very good at it, lol.

[Live_Feed]

I don't find goalhanging much of a problem. That's cos i play D.

But when i spawn keeper....Everyone wants to play offence Goalhanging aplenty, but that's the teams fault as much as the hangers.

However, since keeper priviledges had been boosted in 1.7, it doesn't really seem to matter as much. I can leave the area, hit the attacker, then move back into the area and do all that dodging malarky

[Om3Ga]

I would like an offside rule to be optional in the next version, then maybe we could see how everyone interacts with it. If they don't like it, take it out the game. If they do, keep it in . Usually sweepers stop goal hangers anyway.

[MeSSiaH{FCU}]

Every1 will like new features for the first version X_X (or at least first few weeks of that version)

[Diab]

you hardly get long camp passes in private clan matches, so its just a pub thing that needs (maby) looking at. nothing big like offsides though.

what about if the ball goes from your penalty box, and someone in the red half catches they get half hp...nah
