set pieces

ziadoz · Post by **ziadoz** » 18-08-2003 17:47

does anyone else think that set pieces (ie. corner kicks and throw-in's) would be interesting. (Provided they could be toggled like bananas etc) you could perhaps restrict throw in's to only using the right mouse button, and only allow them to lock on to players nearby (so no long throws to the penalty box), as for corners you could allow only the left mouse button so the cross and volley are more skillful.

nice idea in theory, although the sounds are in, i wouldnt like to see it as it would break up the flow of the game for me

i think in a way it would slow the game down (obviously the balls goes out of play alot) but i think it would be good for those who play db for its obviously relations to football/soccer.

has been discussed quite often

1st point is.....when would it happen? there is no reason like a foul...

2nd it would slow down the game too much

if the ball goes off the pitch in e.g. november = throw in or corner

This wouldn't help the game, a fight about being in the middle in the right moment is better there.

No thrown-ins please.

hey, u asked when it would happen. no one said anything about helping the game or not.

just a suggestion, it would bring another dimension to db i guess. tactical play, knocking the ball out of play. prolly would get annoying, but intriguing

well , if someone throws in then picture this ... all of the other teams players surround the one having to throw in and so he cant pass decently and it would be a perfect oportunity for laming tactics

That is unless the player passing out was given a blocking radius in which no other players can enter. Personally I still think throw-ins would be bad.

give the throw in player a blocking radius (just like in football you arent allowed to stand within x feet of the player) i think it might work
still im just saying it would be fun so see

throw ins would be very nice in maps like nov or cube!

so the n00bs cant do wallpasses anymore^^

i would like the idea alot :p

maybe a new map+mutator could be made to try it out.

maybe some "boundary volumes" could be made? (and of course be optional for all maps)

it'd be interesting.

you could make a more realistic soccer field tho!

dunno how penalty kicks could be put in...........except maybe.......when keeper holds too long?
