I was talking with @rand about different bugs on chat, when i mentioned the defenders being slow in about 2/3 of the field and whether they plan to do anything about it...i got no response back for over 15 minutes, then i just left.

Their current priorities to work on starting next week are:

1) Offside bug (offsides that are not called, or called offsides that are not offsides)
2)Penalty kicks
3)"Massive offside tactics penalized" (and i dont really know what he means by this one)




As far as I'm concerned.....

.....that's exactly what their priorities should be.


Two teams playing "massive offside tactics" is no fun to watch, so there should be a catch if You try to implement this kind of extreme tactic.

But they've tried fixing it, hence the slower defenders. It didn't work. Get rid of it and start over, don't add on and make it a bigger mess. 27/02/2012 05:58

I prefer them to fix the obvious bugs first. Such as the 4-month old "GK won't run to the side to pick up a loose ball" bug. Or the "no income for suspended games" bug.

As for offside trap, I am all for reasonable fixes to this - AFTER the big bugs are fixed. The last 2 updates made offside trap a BETTER strategy to use, as it completely nullifies 99% of formations. Even with an anti-offside trap strategy (all players are always behind the ball, and behind the midfield line when the ball is in your own half), I received 28 offside calls in a game this weekend because the idiotic players STILL pass to players in an offside position even when no defenders are in front of them and they would be better off shooting.

What am I arguing for? The solutions they put in place with the last 2 updates made the games far worse, especially the most recent update. I'm arguing they need to revert it and start over with a better initial plan to solve these problems.

#1 and #2 are on the bug list, and so should be addressed, absolutely. #3 once again sounds like a 3rd update that could be even worse...

+1 Updates do need to be reverted, if the bugs are not fixed.
I'm ok with defender slowing down thing, but CFs are getting dumber as the days go

yeah, I'm ok with slowing the defenders down, the problem is after that - once my player has broken thru, either an offside pass is blown or his finishing is diabolical. 27/02/2012 07:11

I have to say this one worries me a lot.

3)"Massive offside tactics penalized" (and i dont really know what he means by this one)


There's already an penalty for "massive offside tactics", if you try it against me I'll put 3-4 goals past you.

What needs to stop happening is the massive knee jerk reactions when something's being moaned about in the forums.

here's how it goes:-

Offside trap is devestating players who don't know how to counter it. The answer was make CDF's slower to turn and chase. Suddenly everyone's scoring lots of goals. People moan about how it's not fair that they're losing 10-0, developers don't like the unrealistic score lines so they make finishing absolutely rubbish. Everyone moans, they decide they will have a more severe penalty for the offside trap. Game become a barrel of Sh*te to watch. Dev's try to fix this by nerfing something else. All the while people quit because the main bugs that make the game hard to play go unaddressed,

Fix the frigging bugs on the top ten list for gods sake.

Dev's need to fix the bugs.
Just so you know, a player can't be off side in his own half of the pitch. Get to know the rules guys.

Umm it was meant to penalize the offside trap team should a player break through. But then the problem was... idk. I think the @s just like screwing with us at this point.
