Now i'm thinking can we even play long balls to change from sides to sides? It's a very important tactic in football to send a long ball from 1 side to another side...especially to create a counter attack...and please don't tell me by creating counter attacks is also a forbidden move please

What i can really suggest is...if the rule has to stand where long balls are forbidden to be used on own half to the opponent's half...then please state some exceptions out...remember the rule is implemented for fair play...and the fair play issue is to avoid a chance for a striker to receive a long ball and then have the 1v1 chance against the keeper...so please stress the rule on such situations only...

That means if by any chance a player presses A or D and the ball goes all the way to the striker...then the ball should be played out straight away...if he continues to use the striker to run towards the goal and scores...the goal is not counted...so the exceptions will be:

1. Clearance by using D or A are allowed. This applies only if the ball drops in your own half.

2. Sending long balls around the field is allowed BUT sending a long ball straight to the striker (which will look darn obvious) to create a 1v1 chance from your OWN HALF is forbidden. If such situation occurs, the player should kick the ball out of play or else a warning will be issued.

Luige i respect the marshal decisions on setting the rules but please understand that we are the gamers and i think the gamers know the game best and also our feedbacks are quite important to assist in setting up a better and fairer rules. I myself never use the long ball tactic at all but i just think by banning all long balls in own half regardless of any situations is too absurd. So i hope my suggestions will be noted as i think they are quite fair and wouldn't create troubles also. If you don't think the rules are good, i hope to know what are the bad sides of them. I hope to get a reply for my questions as well, thanks. 

And yeah, i know rules are meant for fair play...but to think in a rational way...banning all long balls in own half doesn't solve the issue only but it also creates problems...i don't see any unfair plays that will happen even if long balls are still allowed...as we all still know, the only unfair play issue is to send a long ball straight to the striker to create a 1v1 chance against the keeper

I think the making the long ball to wingers or midfielders only will just add more problems.....Like what highwind said, sometimes, in attack mode, even midfielders will be positioned in striker positions when in the field, even when we set them in midfield positions when we are setting our positions..

Well, I think, for me at least, this should be the long ball rule :

1. Long balls 'QA', 'QD' and 'QW' are banned.
2. Long balls which somehow gets past the whole defence and straight to the striker( as in the ball lands in front of the striker without any problems and any challenges from the last man) is banned.
3. Long balls which makes the ball travel high in the air but STILL require a challenge for the ball whether a header or a ball chesting fight between the defender and the striker is allowed. This is indeed fair for both players as with this long ball, the defending player can still have a chance to actually do SOMETHING and win the ball than just watch as his opponent's long ball as stated in no.2 penetrates the whole defence and giving his opponent a 1v1 chance....

But I think the BEST and REASONABLE solution would be to just use the OFFICIAL WCG Fifa 2007 rules 2.0, which was also used for MY.WCG.07....To be honest, actually these long balls are actually blockable( not including QA,QW and QD).... I tried a few 'A' long balls when I played with W|nds.Rei during my match with him and he managed to block ALL the long balls.... He managed to anticipate my target and just moved his defender there based on his radar screen.....

And also, the WCG Grand Finals are coming up not too far away... I'm sure the people there will be using the non-banned long balls as well.... If we really have problems with these long balls, we can always check out how they block these long balls...
