Meh i like the idea, just probs with the speed, and only enemy players in the field (not keeper nor own teamies) should be deflecting the ball. That, and I think the_one/surge's wishes are a bit too much. O_o

seriously, I really can't think of db with this feature still in. before I thought that close up interceptions rewarded good defense with the ball. Leaving this 'feature' in is just crazy.
and look at the poll man, looks pretty one sided to me, even your precious euro players think this is dumb, I truely don't think that the majority of the online db community is wrong when they say that this isn't good for the game.

Why don't we do a test. You jump 2 feet in front of me and I'll throw a soccer ball as hard as I can directly at your face.
Will you catch it? Or will it bounce off you?
I for one suggest we test!

The majority of the online db community has hardly had the chance to play it since there was such a short betaphase and the version isnt even out that long.
Also the majority is slowly changing their opinions and suggesting ways that might improve this now seemingly useless feature.
Meh i guess davidm will just have to listen to, think about and play around with/test the suggestions and maybe that will improve it X_X
The db community just has to stop shooting down things as soon as they come into the game.

ok, then by that logic:
"since when has DB not been bugged? we should not remove bugs"
But really I would just like to throw a soccer ball at someone. I've got a killer arm

OK, to shut everyone up:
If I wanted the ball to bounce off me, I'd hold the fucking passme. Simple as that.

That's as easy as saying u always want to catch the ball...

Exactly my point! It IS that easy because if you're holding passme, you're making a choice. If it always happens if the ball hits you after flying .2 secs, that *isn't* a choice.

I guess this is just more a question about opinions about realism vs unrealism (X_X)
Tbh i dont like realism at all, nor playing soccer in real life (being the most relevant sport to deathball), yet i still think this would be a valuable addition to gameplay

I hate realism in online FPS games, love real life football, and hate this new feature.

I hate realism in online FPS games, like watching real life football, hate playing real life football, and like this new feature if some adjusting can be done.
