i have to say im genuinely excited about this new feature. i suspect it will take a lot of tweaking to get the 'feel' right.

did you say you were planning a beta or a release/fix setup?

also, any chance of making the balls different colours?

Only thing now that could pull me away from WoW is this multi-karma ball thing. Screw this up and I'm gonna cry.

I'm not all that bothered about the multiball...I just wanna have a play with the new physics.
The posibilities for more skills is bigger than ever.

Ha, how good would it be to stop a goal with another deflecting ball...

Simple things.
Simple minds.

Agreed. Multiball might be a laugh, but I doubt it'll have any long term appeal...

As I said, 5 balls will be a laugh, but I think 2 balls should be a serious new way to play, that requires completely new thingking.

I'm envisioning some fun pinball-table maps. Hit the wrong trigger and wham! *MULTIBALL!!!*

if a normal (1 ball match) is tied by full time - mulltiball might be a good way to spice things up in overtime

A tied game shows its an even pair of teams, and to go and unbalance the overtime with more than one ball would suck ^^

why would it be unbalanced?

Anyone else believe that the introduction of a second ball will at least double the amount of cherry picking at the moment?

MultiBall doesnt seem like something you wanna play if you want a serious game.

yeah people may start to get lazy

since the ball is the focal point of the game, having mulitple balls may cause confusion as to which way to boost etc.

i think this mode will be best in short bursts. A whole game like this wouldnt be fun.

increased cherry picking is highly likely too ^^

Check pics :p

As for multi-ball overtime, im not sure that'd be any good - unless you had 1 for each team... which still wouldnt be that good.

And more balls = less passes, if people get used to it it'll be an ego-filled game for life....... private/gimmicky use maybe, unless its soooo gooooood... but not 'official' league matches..
