1.8 Deflection

might want to take this out before teh competition david, cause this deflection is n00balicious

seriously, i really can't see why this was added gameplay wise, before the d just intercepted it, and they deserved it for good d, now it just goes anywhere and gg defense they're screwed unless they pbox camp...

i dunno, other than this 1.8 is perfect, but this is kinda huge

/me just wondering about ppl having to "just get used to" everything (which is kind of true i agree).

How much 'getting used to' will the judges for the competition have to do? X_x

they won't come into it thinking it should play a certain way though.

the judges will play it for max 30 minutes
they wont even know what a volley is
the judging is worthless

I'll have to pass that along to my contacts at Infogrames/Atari.

David M will play it for max 30 minutes
he doesnt even listen to the community
David M is worthless

i think you spend more time trying to fuck with this game than you do playing it sometimes.

well, i can understand the deflection, and it does add some interesting randomness to the game... not sure if i like it or not. if i did, i would only under a couple changes, if you are going to make it "real" then you need to have the body cushion some of the rebound... if it hits someone dead on, the ball comes out with say 1/8th power, if it glances off the side of someone then the power reduced would be next to nothing. thats how physics work... not oops it hit me dead on and is now in the bleachers. if it did a little dribble on diflections imo people would bitch about it so much.

/me can't wait 3 more days...o_O

tbh...i do think that the ball going through some1, as it used to up-close, was ghey...but this bounce is über-ghey. Maybe if it was toned down a bit (speed it bounces and distance/time b4 it's a catch).

Like others say, it is a bit silly when u pass to a team m8 and it bounces off them.

Surely just making it happen ONLY with players of the opposite team would be better.

And is it my imagination, or does it sometimes happen when u volley the ball off the floor to yourself to pick it up...?

Pity, cos other than this, 1.8 is the best version yet IMO

I wanna remove that it bounces from teammates, maybe increase the radius a bit and lower the latency a lil

INCREASE the radius o_O

???

Anyway...TBH...the biggest problem is the speed the ball bounces off.

Post by **DavidM** » 15-07-2003 12:01

hm, decrease speed, maybe

remove the idea together, ball going thru someone was not that much of a problem, this idea just causes more arguements and bugs than its worth

increase the radius? o_O

if your gonna have it at all why cant the radius be the same as that which would have caused the player to catch the ball in previous versions?

(or even lower than that)
