Possible Compromise
First off, let me say that I think 1.9 is as good a version as any. There are things I dislike about it (that sound especially ) and there are things I like.
I have read a bunch of threads on the forum about how everyone hates the solution to broomsticks.
I personally dislike the fact that in 1.8 and earlier people could boost into the air and then volley a pass right in. I have no problem with people catching a pass in the air. Sometimes they may be the only open option and you have to pass to them or die.
Here is my suggestion. Wehn someone is boosted, let them catch the pass. They should not, however, be able to volley it. This will allow the offense to still quickly move up the field if they get the chance but they will still have to make a shot beating the defense or the keeper. With this implemented they would not be able to just volley it in from high above the entire defense. Everyone would get time to react while they charge their shot.
Well anyway, this is just my suggestion. I don't know all the reasons you wanted the broomstick out and this may go against some of them. I do believe, however, that this will eliminate the main problem with the broomstick without having such a big effect on either the NA or the Euro style of play.

Why is passing to a boosted player important for moving the ball up the field quickly? o_O
You just wait until they land or pass using primary fire to where they are going to land (if you know the player well enough to predict this). Either way, the speed of the break is only marginally slowed by not being able to pass to a player in the air, and it stops cheap broomstick tricks, so I don't see why it even needs to be modified.

berilli come play a 1.8 NA pug with us sometime and i will show you why it is needed.... euro's can't see a problem with it becuase they don't play the same way as us. i have no problem with that but we know what we know plz don't tell us that we are wrong when you are just going by theory
also prim fire shoudln't be the main form of passing.... but i guess i lost the battle on volley so chances are i will lose on passing too
btw cata the coder that did a large part of the coding for 1.9 agrees with NA's assurition that the anti broomstick hurts NA gamestyle and he plays in both communities so he probably a pretty good guide<----don't h8 me cata i just had to use someone they would respect

soon the picker on O will learn to cover the pass back becuase we will be forced to use it more not to meantion that when boosting everyone is in a pig group generally near the center of the field which blocks the pass to the keeper

All of those are viable options, Birelli. I can not argue against that, but you said yourself that it causes no harm passing to him. However, removing it causes the attack to slow down when you have to pass back to the keeper. This is not a problem for the Euro community but it is for the NA community. The NA community is based around fast moving offenses and our defense is accustomed to going against it. If you slow down the offense it becomes even easier for the defense.
