Keeper replays
One issue that I seem to have noticed ever since I started on DB way back in 1.3 is the fact that keeper's get little to no recognition in game. What I've suggested to various people around NA with their consent and approval is to have Keeper replays, as mentioned in the title above. Of course, with the phase of the MSU contest near, this would be merley an afterthough on the almight Davidm's agenda, but I would still like to see this implemented in future releases.
My idea has a few holes in it, but there is also a lot of room for feedback and variations of it by the developers and ultimately, the community itself. Say a keeper makes a great save. If we see this happening, we press a certain designated key, such as L or something similar. If more than, say, 5 votes on a good save occur, the previous 5 seconds will be recorded and played back at the end of the game, or the next goal replay.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but maybe this voting process can only be done after the goalie has received the ball from the other team (in effect, a save),in order to prevent spamming of the feature.
Please take this into consideration.

i find the replays on goal are great but somehow too slow, it would be nice if there were like 75% speed instead of 50%
in the original celebrations you ran around in 3rd person that kept the feel of speed in the game constant, now at a replay everything goes matrix and as cool as it is, its too much of a pause. just speed them up a notch davie <3
and yes keepers need a bit more attention, theres not meny who like to keep out there and you seen how bad a pub can get when someone wants to play attack instead of keeper. what about callouts like "Great save by blue team!" when the keeper catches a ball with i dunno, over a certan speed over certan distance? "Excellent deflect by the red keeper" its more like comentry lol

the idea of keeper related replays have been suggested before. I think in general people agreed keepers need more praise but that they didn't want to make the game slower either by extended replays.
I think the idea of a keeper specific announcments is a good one and if it's done right (ie only for decent saves) then it would be a nice addition.

well daid you could have said something about all the ideas instead of your casual flame.. ?
gg deathball, i understand you want db to be great and not have problems but at least don't jump the gun.
*edit* shev: if your spectator in a game and theres a replay you can still change camera aka goal cam or free cam, its very nice.
