Dribbles + Quadjump mut would be better...
Posted: 02-07-2003 20:03
than negative comments. i want to bring back the dribble. I used to love dribbling past defenders and still do it to the people who are clueless and run past me w/o hitting me (even tho theres no benefit 
). Surge has a good point about people acknowledging the quad as a more skill-based tactic and the making a name for yourself w/ dribbles and flashy moves (which, btw, volleywhores are doing now). He's giving criticism, but sometimes criticism isn't necessarily bad 
. You guys are making a good game regardless of what people are saying anyways, and you seem to take the ideas of all the gamers here too to help 
.
Maybe in 1.8 (which im sure will kick ass) make a checkbox that makes the jump the old way (like banana, self-volleys, imho i think it's a viable gameplay option/change). And make a similar dribble checkbox too where the player's speed at release would be the same as the old way. (or make them muts, not checkboxes, whatever, im not familiar w/ coding or anything. )I'm sure with banana and all the volley's now, people would make some really spectacular plays which we wouldn't have thought of before (dribble to noobcannon against wall to skill based quad to volleh!). Make it so league games have the same rules pertaining jumping/dribbling as banana shots, etc... Or disallow them completely. people will like it either way.
I don't post here often, but i still play often, and i think that it's a good idea that both pleases the people who are new and the old-school DB'ers who would like to see how they can do in the new game with newly acquired skills plus the old-school skills. I'm thinking that the changes would be small in file size terms, but a nice change in gameplay.
DavidM, i'm sure you guys took these out because people were abusing them (opposite with the quadjump, it was hard to learn), but now that you have the gameplay (almost?) as you intended, it could be a little extra treat for the people who've been playing the game long enought to remember those things. Your game, even with all it's percepted imperfections in the early versions, got people addicted, and most of the people playing now, i think, started getting addicted playing it with all those 'bugs' in the game. And we liked it.
You get a lot of undeserved criticism sometimes for something so simple. He who giveth, can taketh away~. You guys gave us DB, and we appreciate that. Now imagine if 1.3 had banana, and you took it out with no checkbox/mut to turn it on in the next version. Of course people will be angry, because numerous people perfected and/or learned some tricks with it. I know dribble was a bug (was it?), but i'm not asking for a hammer-bug checkbox either, lol. I'm just trying to speak about this eye-to-eye from gamer to gamer. Everyone here enjoys games, and everyone likes games with extra stuff. Everyone likes easter eggs/secrets, and everyone likes more options in games. What would gran turismo be without the car-tuning. GTA3 without all the extra cars, secrets, etc... That's all. Thanks for a great game. Sometimes people like it the old way too tho, even thought what you felt was right was missing. (who wouldn't have loved the 1960's? Loose hippy chicks everywhere! actually i take that back, lol. i hate hippies ).
I posted this in another topic i wasn't sure anyone would check, lol. Sry if i pissed anyone off because of this.
