Default formation in #dbpickup

Post by Goldeneye »

as i don't have the time to complete the todolist of db_pickup too soon, (and by that also the free configureable formation) i was wondering if people want to change formation to 1-1-3 (i.e. keep-sweep-3 free).

yep, as sweeper is always the problem, 1-1-3 is a good idea, then players don't lose time asking in teamsay "who sweep?"

well, already thought of that too, but i don't want to have too many different positions, as that way your chances to miss positions you'd like to play is much bigger. sure if everyone goalhangs we could switch to 1-1-2-1, but first i want to see how 1-1-3 works. hm, also i might add a rule that disallows goalhanging a whole game long, without any try to help out in defence.

sure they are, sometimes at least, and adding that as written rule can't hurt, can it?

I'm not to sure about this, as it may make things a little too inflexible. I've played in plenty of pickups where I've split the sweeping duties 50/50 with the other defender. It may be that this will just give an excuse to the other defender not to defend as much.

Having said that, in principle I think its a good idea. It may just require more strict application of the rules.
