i coudlnt find previous posts on the subject, sorry if this has been answered.

i understand the reasoning for the keeper delay, but it doens't make much sence to me. in sports often goalies have different equpment, not equpiment that doesn't work. at a minimum... if the hammer wont work, i hate the sound and animation pretending it is :/

possible ideas:
-less reach, give the keeper a "blocker and a glove" they can't reach far but at least you can reach.

-narrower reach, so you have to have the crosshairs aimed more at the ball

-the delay only if the keeper is actually in net. a couple times i wander of of the net and people have passed right in front of me and i coudlnt hit it.

i dont know if any of these are good things or not, but just wanted to make sure the ideas where brought up.

Why complicate things? The keeping works fine already =).

nah, makes it impossible to hit, especially with a ping

"-less reach, give the keeper a "blocker and a glove" they can't reach far but at least you can reach."

jumping, doding, running, good positioning, volleys....thats enough to be able to keep pretty much all balls


3rd one sounds like poo 0_o
