I never used it, it distracts me too much :P

I do about 99% of the game looking at the radar alone.

i know exactly where people need to be for a boost using the bottom radar, i very very rarely use middle radar for boosting purposes, tbh i dont even look at the screen when boosting, i just use bottom radar, and know exactly when to boost.

Imo its completly the way you get used to it from the beginning, i always used the bottom radar from when i 1st played, now i cant use the middle radar for the life of me, believe me ive tried, i end up getting pulled out of position all the time cos im concentrating too much, but using bottom radar, everything seems smooth and i can spot quick long passes, aswell as openings when a teammate has boosted a enemy, without even looking at the screen.

getting used to the bottom radar for boosting and stuff is not good. because it varies with the size of the map. so as soon as you play another map you are screwed.
when i noticed that i tried to switch to the middle one, and middle is much easier to use anyway, no looking up and down all the time.


but yeah, its really hard to change your habbits, just keep on reminding you of the new thing all the time and it will work after 2-3 days

i rarely use the middle radar either.. cuz im addicted tot he bottom radar.. (i think i could play with main screen off and just bottom radar)

what i would LOVE to see.. is the bottom radar.. inthe middle!

or somehow.. zoom out of the middel radar to see the entire field.

as d.. i wanna see where every player is at all times... middle radar is too limiting.


all i use it for is volley (which i suck at) and ball height. u dont really need it for boosting.. u get a feel of the timing/distance, no need for radar.

Personally I use both radars - middle to see people to boost or opponents hanging around where I am to boost away, and bottom radar to see the overall state of the field/strategy. And I tend to boost on instinct :)

when we look at the bottom radar and we see the attacker/sweep/whoever coming towards u then u can decide to drop the pace of ur movement and boost the other way or then look at the screen where close enough to do something

i really cant sweep without it when sweeping, when in the box, 2v1 say, i need to no where to position my self, then its the case of knowledge of who im up against and what i think they would do.

If trying to kill some one in a box is a different matter and would require middle radar. but, its just simple enough to play using the bottom one as its much simpler. <3 who made it

Ugh..the middle/bottom radar thing again ;p

I have no idea how much I use it, but I use it a lot o_O I think I pretty much *always* watch it a bit at every moment while also looking at the game and the ball in 3d :o

Except for when I'm sweeping or giving a long pass, in which case I'll be looking at the one in the bottom.
