"n00bcannon" in 1.7 / Season2 ?

As keeper i m getting used to the so-called "n00bcannon" for a long pass all over the field. It s faster than a normal pass, u can pass over a longer distance, but it s harder to find the guy who should catch it. I can t see anything wrong here so i don t wanna see the "n00bcannon" out in 1.7 / Season2.

I never understood why ppl complain bout that way of shooting, and time has passed by, do u still complain bout it or is it way "normal" now?

EDIT: An Idea for option3: n00bcannon stays in 1.7, but if u shoot towards the goal the ball would be reset in the middle. It s just an idea, if got more ideas u may post it here.

You can't do the n00bcannon as a shot on goal in 1.7 because of the latency, but you can still use it as a pass...

bah dont remove it:( i use that a lot for passes off side walls round defenders etc, if it can be made to not work for shots but still passes i guess thats ok, altho id love for it to stay as a shot too:D

The n00bcannon is something I've removed from my game altogther because of its impending removal in 1.7. Start getting use to the idea, coz soon it'll be gone...

Nothing wrong with it, even *I* have no trouble saving cannon shots, and I'm a totally shit keeper. It has use, and adds variation. I don't use it much, but I don't see why it should go.

I mean, how many goals do you actually seen scored via a cannon? Not many. :P

i voted for noobcannon out, but then got thinkin,

i guess i voted out cos i just remember the problems we had at 1st with it, but after readin posts, it dont seem as much of a problem now, and infact like ppl say makes teamplay more varied.

So i guess im now more on the lines of , if it can b sorted to stop gay ass instant fullpower shots at goal , leave it in!

A bit late now because it's been taken out and im used to it allready from the 1.7 beta, but it was useful from defence and the keeper in 1.6 to play instant long balls, i got moaned at a few times for using it as its a "exploit" but imo i thought it was useful for passing, not shooting.
