The powerup time change thing would unbalance all btw, so forget that.

There is still a lot of work to do for keepers, their main work consists of being part of the def anyway, marking players AND keeping an eye on the goal, kicking an enemy attacker in position, predicting passes to enemy attackers and prevent them before they arrive etc. There is just not much to save, because us hardcore player know how to shoot to beat the keeper. And as I said, an allmighty keeper that could in theory have a fair chance on all balls would be awful. Defense has to do their work there...


thats not very helpful when u add to a pickup and sinas defending and cant time for poo and ms, gaz, and quant who cant boost back... pff noobs (i.e.)

fulll charged power shots, top corner/ish or bottom low corner = sometime unkeepable, you only hope that this shot is far away for you to react quicker. But if we dodge premeturely and we do actually get something to the ball may it be short/med distance away from us, its still a goal, and ive tried it ^^

if you agree to have a bigger keeper radius, plz say

Whats the point in having defence if the keeper can theoretically save everything?

called timing and getting the correct way, but whats the point having a keeper when we save it in our screen but it still goes in?

of course a keeper can save everything, it doesnt just burn a hole through them... just needsa a skilled keeper, most of the shots keeps here dont reach, but IF we do, whats the point?

Seriously davey, ever since you "fixed" magnetism keeping has been pointless. If the keep gets the ball, it should be a save. It shouldn't be the cannot volley sound or go through the keep, it's a save. Make the goals bigger if you think scoring is too hard, but don't steal hard earned saves.

That s wrong! There are not more than 10 players who know how to shoot descently, the attackers are just up for volley spamming. It s easy to do, def can t cover you in midair and thx to the volley radius u can score with closed eyes, since the keeper is chanceless.

I play offense for 2 minutes in about every 10th game, so i m far away from being trained in volleying. I m just trying to volley the ball away from the goal, there s nothing bout aiming, i even might be the worst volley player in DB. But I still scored some goals without aiming. Just look at the goal, listen to the chargeup and press lmb at the right moment. skilled?

too fucken right, id wager that about 70% of the goals scored are by volley these days, with the remaining 20% on pass-shots and the final 10% on decent, well placed, well powered shots

the problem is exacerbated by the VO servers.

Many new players aren't even bothering to learn to shoot properly because they rarely use it, save for passing.

try saying that to people who just spam the keepers to death.

unrealistic, but makes alot of sense... infact this is much better solution
