you are implying everything but specifying nothing. i wouldnt mind hearing some serious reason why sprint is bad. i know there have been many discussions on it but from reading and participating in them, i still am yet to hear a good argument against it.

sprinting is useless for anyone who jumps a lot offensivly and defensivly (like myself) because if we want to spritn we can't jump as much and if we want to do ariel manuvers were screwed if we face a defender 1v1 w/o sprint and they decide to Pbox camp.

Its a waste of coding. Go play FIFA 2002 if you want to sprint.

Sprint annoys me as everyone gets tempted to chase after the ball...Positional sense goes out the window...You get penalised for jumping which is just daft...And no-one ever thinks to boost each other, coz everyone just sprints everywhere...I hate sprint and avoid it like the plague...

well with sprint its gotta be either one thing or another, and i dont think thats a bad idea. sprint makes you think more. a defender/attacker will win now if they play smart and conserve their stamina.

its not that i like sprint only. sprint in deathball adds a more strategic dimension to db and being able to conserve it takes a lot more skill and practise.

ill do this as one. you only see big bunches of sprinting ball chasers when stupid ppl play. it is obvious that having a full bar of stamina is an invaluable thing. so instead of promoting ballchasers who waste all their stamina all the time, it promotes good positioning, especially in clan matches, cos if you dont have to sprint you can hang on to your stamina.

also, i dont like boosting anymore, so i can only say from my perspective your second point only helps my argument against boosting.

looking forward to responses :)

thats where your wrong beef... forfeiting jumping to sprint is not an even trade. If i cant get to the ball faster than the defender cause he's a ground hugger than its uneven. Then only way to keep it this way would be to make you VERY suseptable to enemy boosts while sprinting.

i dont really understand what you are saying. are you saying ppl shouldnt be advantaged by not jumping around? if so, why? and why do you jump around so much?

I'll never agree that sprint is worthwhile...It is disabled in clan matches and servers are rapidly disabling sprint...If people in public servers didn't just chase the ball perhaps tactically it would be interesting, but as it stands it's just irritating...Many people join a sprint server, go 'oh no sprint' and then leave...The majority don't like it and I'm with that majority...

lol, we play with sprint in clan matches, it is perfectly fine, just another dimension. You don't like it because you haven't played it seriously.

I'm not saying sprint is better, i don't mind a non-sprint game, but its perfectly reasonable and imo makes the game more fun.
