if one player touches another enemy player, he drops the ball...

relik
i said i want free kicks cause it could be cool, and i asked for a reason to put one in, thats my problem.

IMO free kicks would ruin the flow of the game and make it much less fun to play... plus yeah, what would you give them for

i dont wanna give em for something that happens every 10 seconds, more like every 5 minutes
so first problem:
-what to give it for
-who shoots it? (quick team internal vote?)

Give them for killing a player in the pbox when the ball is in the other half...or maybe not. :p

I don't think there's anything really.

Well according to what its given for, the player who was fouled gets to have it, only fair. Maybe you could fix a lame trick this way by replacing it with giving a free kick, would make sense.

yeah ok, if we have an idea we can give it to the fouled one (or whatever), but the main problem remains

I still think DB's more about game flow than stopping randomly for fouls and such... free kicks go against the whole philosophy of it and would just be an annoyance imo

how about giving a free kick to a player who gets killed so quickly after picking up a ball that they dont even get time to pass it.

to put it another way, the victim gets hit by 2 separate players in less than the ball pickup time (if such a thing exists)

naturally this doesn't count in the pen zone

i have no idea if its a good idea or not, but its all i can think of

Sounds like it'd discourage defending...

yea .... its not a good idea tbh...

nah
all ideas i had were equally bad, not worth mentioning

but i tell you, free kicks would be fun!
i want a really powerful shot, and a radius in which the enemy players cannot be, so they can build a wall outside. and jump when you shoot (and you shot at their feet )
imagine curling that thing with super power around the wall

maybe the enemy-volley-latency could be abused there, but on the other hand, the defenders can easily kick the attackers away so they cannot volley...

Yah i don't get the need for free kicks.. not only is there no need for them (we don't have fouls being committed), but i don't see how they'd spice up gameplay.

Also, a team should not get a good scoring chance just because the other team committed some foul we made up so that we could now have free kicks.

not talking about fouls
asking for something that could make a good opportunity

actually i agree with DavidM on this one. Thats exactly how I see free kicks working, and i think it will be a great way to add variety into the gameplay.


how about shot clocks? if a player holds the ball more than 7 seconds = free kick...

...of course drop, then pickup again can/will be abused.....
