welp currently the na league is having a debate about team laming, if you get a lead and just ball hold in your own zone. the mechanics of the game make it where ball holding in your own zone can actually give you better chances at scoring
ie: if you want the ball back. you need to cover man to man, if your going to cover man to man, your defensive player must go into the offensive zone. but even then, who is going to cover the keeper?
what i propose is make use of the team areas, if a team has posession of the ball for 30 seconds in his own zone, it resets or somthing to that nature.
now what i mean by possession is they pass the ball around all they want but unless a player from the other team touches the ball in this time, it will reset. sort of like a shot clock.
this would only work in your own zone imo because you don't wanna have control and be going for a shot and poof it appears in the middle.
if the team sizes arnt big enough, have a 'blue' line like hockey
red side | neutral | center | neutral | blue side
the ball would have to be in the other teams side in order for the timer not to run.
what if they pass across the line and then back you say?
well if you can make it like the pbox timer where there is an ammount of time it must stay up for the timer not to disapear, that'd be fantastic. but the whole point of this is to force the ball near the other teams zone so they don't hafta give up so much field space just to stop a team from laming.
