DavidM, a suggestion for balacing shooting.

Blitz · Post by **Blitz** » 03-09-2003 07:33

Shot power is fine right now. I wouldn't adjust it all. You can score from the line, but not much farther. The reason shooting is used so little is because of how hard it is to get a decent shot off. With Pbox camping and various other defensive tactics, shots just aren't used as often as they might be. My suggestion is simply to lower the charge time for a full powered shot by MAYBE 25%. You could mess with the value and test it, but I think lowering the overall charge time for full power shot by 20-25% would greatly increase the number of shooting opportunities while still keeping shots balanced.

don't change it!

Post by **DavidM** » 03-09-2003 08:15

hm, dunno
it would change tacklings
long passes would be different and people would need to readjust

well not for 1.9, not too many changes at the same time, or ppl slap me around

I think you're gonna get slapped around anyway

I don't see the point changing the shooting system/self volleys the now anyway, it isn't doing any damage to the game.

if you removed the charge sound or put it to a more decent level (so that only ppl very close to you could hear it... except the keeper make them be able to hear it fully) then there is no readjusting and more balance but of course that makes too much sense

i like the sound of changing the timing, it will take everyone some readjustment, so maybe do it at the end of the a season or something. But making shooting that little bit easier will make defence have to actually work instead of waiting in the pbox.

ya, will be done
but not for 1.9, because I dont want people to get used to too many new things/changes at once
adding the changes step by step

The chargeup volume was fine in 1.7 x_X

Post by **DavidM** » 03-09-2003 14:30

you cannot name a single change that my team would have benefitted from

actually I made my team worse with the changes, I saw how we abuse cheap things

to me db > my team

I also like the idea of just reducing the charge SOUND unless you are very close to the player or you are the goalie. This is a change that won't take a lot of adjusting to but make shots much more useful and defense have to work harder to really mark their men.

I'm an attacker myself, and I benefited a lot from the quitened down charge sound, but I have to agree with a lot of people when I say it was waaaaaaaaaay to quiet.
