Thank You Luige !

What do you mean by blindly copying wcg rules?

Anyway, it says any kind of longball, that usually refers to airball. So using 'S' to clear is ok as 'S' is a ground passing. While using 'A' or 'D' is forbidden in this case.

I believe the FIFA gamers out there will give a lot of feedback to you. Mean while, fellow gamers, when you want to give any suggestion, make it like a suggestion, don't make it looks like a complain. It will look like a cold war between gamers and marshals

Thanks !

Let me tell you my experience of playing with the new rules. I tried around 4-5 games with the new rule, and i think it is almost impossible to play without using 'D' at own half. There are certain situation where you really have to clear without even thinking. There was also this situation where, my defender was surrounded by opponents' strike force, and i still resist myself from using 'D', it ended up i give the ball away to the striker and that striker get a one on one situation and i conceded a goal. It's pretty frustrated in this case where i think forbidding myself from using D cause me that goal.

What happen if the usage of 'A' is forbidden at own half? This is what happen. I got a fullback who is holding the ball, who is pressured by a winger and a striker. I couldn't pass forward as my path is blocked. The only thing i can do is to lob the ball using 'A' to the other fullback so that i can have a clear path to attack. But i can't do that as 'A' is forbidden at own half. So I hope the 'A' button is still usable as it is part of one's strategy in attacking. The other kind of move that i can do is to pass back to my goalkeeper to send to another fullback, but this will make the opponent want to complain that i am trying to 'waste time'.

I know it is hard to satisfy everyone, but this is just my suggestion and my experience here playing with the new rule. I have a suggestion that is to use the new WCG rule v2.0 to solve most of the problems.

Thank You

Well, for a free kick that is 19 metre, usually a human player will tap as soft as possible to score after adjusting the proper angle. So, besides taking it manually, you can just wait for a while (probably 10-15 sec) then the computer will automatically kick the ball. The power that the computer kick will be very soft, usually it will ensure a goal. So that is why goal scored from computer free kick is not allowed.

1. You need a lot of marshal to monitor each game. Because no replay for such incident happened.

2. Your marshal need to memorize the player's line up. Some players will put Ronaldo as midfielder, the marshal might mistaken that he is a striker. Yepz, he is a striker, but he played him as midfielder and there is no problem to it. Brazil have lots of strikers and some have to sacrifice as midfielder.

3. For a formation that has AMC, does he consider as a striker also? Because he stands so up in front.

So, I think the rule above is not do-able. But still, it's just my suggestion.

Yepz, what i mean if, another example:

I put SOL CAMPBELL as my striker, then i do long ball to SOL. So the marshal have to note that his SOL CAMPBELL is actually a striker.

The other thing is AMC can stay up as high as striker during 'ATTACK' Mode. So it might accidentally landed on the AMC foot and the player might start complaining that he didn't do longball directly to striker. To make the rules clearer, maybe it should state their position, such as:

Cannot long ball directly to striker (LS, RS, ST, LF, RF, CAM, LCAM, RCAM and CF)


A few position that might confuse as a striker or as a midfilder:


Are 433 wingers consider as strikesr? (RS LS)

Are 4321 forwards are strikers? (LF RF)

Are 451 attacking midfielders a strikers? (LCAM RCAM)

Is 41212 attacking midfielder a striker? (CAM)

Is 4411 forward is a striker? (CF)

4222 have 4 upfront despite it's only 2 strikers. Are all the 4 consider as striker?

These are all the potential players that can be longball-ed. Rules have to be clear as there are 128 FIFA players playing.

I have a suggestion here. Why not we use DEMOTOOL to save the replay on judging whether is the ball is sent to the furthest player or not. I was thinking of using this DEMOTOOL to prevent people time wasting as well. DEMOTOOL is a tool that will replay back the entire match in 2D. However whether it can work without internet or not, I still don't know. So maybe luige, you can try that out.

Hmm, I think someone needs to clarify it. Luige is not working for WGT as far as I know, I'll ask him who should i refer to for the rules of WGT.
