Arcade football (s*ccer) game from the devs of Sifu is now out. Discuss best tactics and how the Blue Lock zoomers are attempting dribbles 1v4 and never passing the ball.
this game should've been f2p
>>1815153It will probably be when the player base starts to drop just like Rocket League, but for now the game is successful and crossplay will be added so probably minimum 1 year before this.
I love playing goalkeeper, wish there was a way to set it as a preference
its so fucking hard to aim the pass/lob on controller. try to angle it even slightly and it'll aim it directly to the side.
It's crazy that they released without crossplay when this would've been a huge asset for the game with groups of friends, not to mention PC game pass users are matched with Xbox. I bet their publisher pushed hard for a release asap.
>>1814989 (OP)What is the main mode? Is it 3v3 or 5v5?
>>1815544Seems like they want it to be 5v5 since it's the only one available in ranked but honestly it's kinda lame since you rarely get the ball. Makes the game look more like muh FIFA than some arcade game supposed to be fun first. 3v3 and 4v4 are much more enjoyable.
>>1816003I don't pass to opponents
>>1816003I have teammates?
>Pass on kbm is absolute dogshit
Why did they make it so fucking dogshit
you can't even adjust your aim at all and have to stay dead still for your pass to not go backwards so you're stuck looking in whatever direction and staring at the minimap.
You moved slightly off center? well too fucking bad
>>1814989 (OP)>1v4nigga not playing 5v5?
>>1816232>>1816248He's the main character of Blue Lock, good things are sure to happen if you pass to him!
I sure hope they add clubs, but they'll probably use predefined logos instead of letting us design them. Some more options for the kits would be nice too, like having 2 different color palettes for the top and bottom.
>>1816424custom logos would go crazy.
>>1815393Switch accounts with me. For some retarded reason I start off 99% of my matches as goalie. I looked it up and apparently some other people have the same issue. Theories thrown around are that it picks the player with the best connection to be starting goalie, or people who have the most time spent of goalie are picked because it's assumed they're good at goalie.
>>1815419I love making lob passes on the controller. My issue is shooting on a controller. I feel like controller is better for tackles, goalie in general, and passing, but for some reason shooting feels like absolute shit on controller.
>>1816444>Team Hitler with a swastika logo vs Team MAGA with a swastika logo>every single match>every single time
>had to goal janny for a 15 minutes match
>>1816520this here is the worst
>>1816762when your team cant score for shit and so you sit the ENTIRE match as goalie
>>1816762Also I really don't get how the dive works, sometimes you get magic hands that vacuum the ball in a 3km radius and others if you're not pixel perfect you can go fuck yourself. Also for some reason the sidestep (A) seems to cancel your defensive capabilities, maybe the devs REALLY want you to dive but I'm paranoรฏd that it will play the wrong animation and end up getting cucked out of an easy catch.
bros i almost made it....
>>1816616 yep black ops logo
>>1816825>reached diamond promo during the beta>got dropped down to gold 1 on release
>>1816852>Be goalie>Team can't attack nor control the ball at all>Be attack>Goalie is litteraly AFKNot looking good so far
>>1816921>teammates are all on attack 24/7 and can't score for shit so all the pressure is on you for several minutes
Lads how do I git gud at this game? I just want to tackle consistently but I just can't hit my fucking targets.
>>1816949Get used to never slide tackle, this is the most dogshit mechanic in the game, people litteraly run faster
>>1817014>this is the most dogshit mechanic in the gameFuck, I thought it was just me being bad at it.
>>1817030Yeah, sprinting and release or pressing stance + tackle for instant quick tackle is the way, and you can recover faster if you miss
>Be goalie survive 15mns
>We score
>Not goalie
>They score twice instantly
>We lose
i don't mind when it's a pass or bouce shot but holy shit, people fuck up on straight shots
>overtime
>weโre on the opponents side of the field
>opposite wing passes me the ball
>pass it to middle
>middle shoots straight ahead in the most obvious low effort shot
>goalie freaks out and lets the shot through
I think we confused the shit out of the goalie because we were actually passing instead of going to the game winning goal ourselves. He let in the worst fucking goal ever because he couldnโt figure out what we were doing.
>>1817067Are there any other ways to steal the ball? I've seen people do headers to intercept a ball. I think that's just hitting y/triangle on the controller right?
>>1817425yeah i think thats holding onto the pass button as the ball comes in.
>entire team is made up of retarded faggots who think they are Messi and attempt to dribble vs 3 players and never pass or try to play possession
Every single ranked match
>>1817581get out of bronze lil bro
>>1817619Happens in literally every rank you fat ugly faggot
Why cant I just queue for all 3
>shooting works.
>passing is a gamble.
How did they manage this
>>1817745It was even worse during the first beta, only direction input affected pass aim, so ontop of being complete cancer to pull off kbm could only pass in 8 directions
>have an opening to score, but its a little risky
>decide to wall bounce pass to a teammate for better chances
>the goalie dives out
>team shoots and dinks it off the edge of an open goal
i get it now
I have three/four extra mouse buttons. What should I bind to them
Wait, you actually play with M&K?
>>1817771nta, but i tried and it feels cancer. the precision aiming is nice, but finding comfy placement for the other buttons is a nightmare.
>>1817771I mean, I may try it now that you can change the keys, but controller seems more natural to me
>>1817774>Disable modifier>Lob on Q>Weak lob on A>Rainbow on middle>Stance on side mouse>Tackle on side mouse >Dive on left alt>pushball on space>Goalie dives spaceCall on one and emotes on f keys, forgot where i put ball cam but i never use that shit anyway
how do you play with other anons, is there a clan system
>>1817793huh what do you use to move
>>1817766Has a higher ceiling if they ever fix passing.
>you get matched against trios as solo
What is this fucking dogshit
>>1817803basic wasd, i gave qwerty keys but i'm on french keyboards so A and E are actually what i have bound for lobs
>>1817793yeah i have a basic bitch wireless mouse with no extra buttons. so its fucked
>>1817811yeah, tackle being on mouse is very important cause releasing a movement key to press it will fuck you over, it's unplayable on kbm without mouse buttons
>20k increase on launch
>queues are still 7+ min
>>1817845queues were fucked in early early access too. i dont understand why they werent able to fix it, thats a priority issue.
i will rainbow flick any chance i get even if its easily blocked
What rank do people learn what a fucking one two is? I swear to god no one playing this game has played or even watched a single second of an actual football match
>>1817898i am one of those people because real football is extremely boring. explain it to me please
>>1817898I always try to give the pass back but it always comes out too long or too wide so we end up losing the ball
I'm not even getting any games, anyone wanna group up? US west here
For the love of God, allow me to have two separate things to have the same keybind, especially when the two actions cannot even be used at the same time.
God why does it take forever to find games.
>fag runs all the way to the other goalie.
>never plays defense.
>calls for ball despite being nowhere in position.
>never passes when he gets the ball.
>runs out of goalie if he gets it.
>spams good job and thanks whenever something he does not like happens.
Played against him next match and won so that was nice.
>>1818170>spams good job and thanks whenever something he does not like happens.If you're a goalie and you let a goal in and your team spams good job, are they bullying you?
>>1818173Probably.
You are a fag if you leave the net as goalie and then spam it when the other team gets an easy goal.
>>1818173There should be a "nice try" voice line d e s u. "Good job" might make it seem like you're shitposting like What a save! in RL.
>>1818158us servers are fucked
Sometimes the keeper holds the ball for like 5 seconds and other times drops it almost immediately without any inputs. What gives?
How the fuck do you accurately shoot with a controller
I would use mkb but then passing is fucked
>>1818379>then passing is fuckedjust use shoot to pass if you cant control the pass button.
me when i shoot at goal
>prime neuer can predict my every shot, low high header bicycle kick
my teammate when he shoot at goal
>shoots straight down the middle and keeper dives left
>>1818423I can be either type of goalkeeper depending on the game. Mental plays a lot I feel, whether you crack easily or not. I hate the type of game where your team can't score and the enemy team puts a lot of pressure.
>position myself in the free space with a clear pass line
>teammate tries the most difficult pass to the guy marked by 2 players
Every single time. It's stuff like this what makes it so hard to rank up when playing solo. I don't even mind people just staying inside the box, but some common sense would go a long way
>overtime lasts for 5+ minutes
>ends with teammate own goal
>>1818377Nevermind, I've just noticed that the game actually shows you how much time you have left to hold the ball with your hands
>tfw you spill so much spaghetti your start to confuse the gk
>>1818468>I've just noticed that the game actually shows you how much time you have left to hold the ball with your handswhere?
>>1818491A yellow/orange circle appears at your feet when you grab the ball
>>1817812>yeah, tackle being on mouse is very important cause releasing a movement key to press it will fuck you over, it's unplayable on kbm without mouse buttonsHuh? The default works in this regard though, can press e along with any wasd just fine.
>>1817839>everyone standing around spamming good job
They really need to buff passing.
It's way too slow and too inaccurate right now, especially since back tackles are a thing.
>>1818624i just wish i could curve the dedicated pass like i can the shots.
>>1818547>Press e with wasdDo you have 6 fingers?
how are you going to press E if you have to tackle someone while going left
it's just easier to have it on mouse instead of gimping yourself for no reason
Playing this with broken thumb grips made my thumb sore I hate it
>>1818642It's directly above D you can press it with the same finger, I never even needed to think about it until you mentioned it kek
Wish they'd add a "possession lost" stat.
The name of the guy who lost the most possession should be highlighted in red after every game.
>>1818665>0 Reading compehensionpressing it isn't the issue holy shit, it's pressing it while needing to move wherever i want, tackling diagonaly while holdind w and d shit like that.
You use it too often to justify the awkward press of 2 buttons with 1 finger especially on mechanical
>>1818688>0 Reading comprehensionNah mate just a skill issue on your part, it's not awkward in the slightest to tap e with the tip of your finger while you're holding w and d. Not to mention it's not even necessary with good camera control.
>>1818671thatd be a good one
>>1818692>I'm not retarded you're just bad
>>1818671>when you're goalkeeping and the only dude who's well placed is the faggot that has his tent on the enemy's side and you know for sure he's gonna lose the ball 5s after receiving itrealistically what do you do in this situation ?
Is this game playable on mkb? I got to diamond league in RL on mkb.
>>1818729yes its superior on mkb
>>1818729Yes but the passing currently is not very good on mouse.
How many losses can you take before deranking?
Did someone tell the retards playing this game that passing backwards is illegal or something? Iโm compleely unmarked and ready to keep possession and recycle the ball while sitting deep but theyโd rather hoof the ball into a guy marked by 3 players. So fucking infuriating.
>>1818903it's called reverse offside
Curious what the demographics of the game look like, betting there's a major overrepresentation of yuropoors and latinx.
>>1818903Yeah, even in 3v3 is doesn't happen a lot.
>>1818903but passing backwards is bad you must always move forwards!
>>1818805I dont think you can derank from another medal rank to the one below, only the numbered ranks. I remember being at a five loss streak while at 0 div 3 but never moved back down.
>>1818903I'm not asking for the game to turn into a pure simulation but i'm quite surprised how most player do not seem to watch footie.
Passing to the back to keep possession, deep passes, one two, runs to create options, very few players do that despite being basic things in IRL footy and pretty efficient in game.
>>1818996I think itโs just because of the type of people itโs attracted. Youโve got the rocket league crowd who have no idea how football actually works, fifa/efootball players who comes from a game where all the off the ball runs/work are basically automated so you never have to learn how to do it yourself. And blue lock fags/complete casuals who think you can solo entire teams. Oh and also literal five year olds. The number of players who have actually thought about even basic football fundamentals is extremely low.
>>1819038>fifa/efootball players who comes from a game where all the off the ball runs/work are basically automated so you never have to learn how to do it yourself.its probably this more than anything. i mean in fifa, you have this wide view of the field then you press A and the ball automatically magnetises to the player. sure there are options to manually control runs and all that but all the more casual players dont use those options. so coming to a game where you have a limited view of the field, need more situational awareness and needing to make those runs yourself is such a steep learning curve.
>>1819073Yeah, like in efootball you just press two buttons to initiate a one two, even something basic like that takes far more effort in this game. Honestly though playing Rematch just makes me wish there was a game like this but with 11vs11 and with a focus on simulation.
>>1818993good to know, guess i can safely grind without caring then
>>1819097Would you really be ready to play GK or fullback in a 11v11 game with randos online?
NBA 2k is the closest thing you'll get to a sport simulation where you only control one guy.
>>1819097there is pro soccer online with a sequel on the way but last i checked it was pretty dead. lots of locked servers, half full servers and all that. a hugely popular 11v11 full on sim game would be insane.
>>1819125It would probably be miserable but Iโd at least like to try it
12~ hours in and I don't have half of these buttons down to muscle memory, keep jumping when I want to tackle or flick, still don't manage to take my finger off sprint in time and end up slide tackling etc
Am I just bad?
>>1818483The other team cannot know what you are doing if you too do not know what you are doing.
>>1819160You probably are but it has nothing to do with the keybinds.
Who's excited for the inevitable Blue Lock colab?
>>1819301I'm down for more anime-y cosmetics.
>>1819135Just looked it up, seems really janky but also fun. Shame itโs dead
>>1819301The devs are frogs so Captain Tsubasa is also an option. In fact I'm sure there's a scene just like this in the webm. since I had backwards momentum ball was a few centimeters away from a goal, also I sure love me some 10+ minutes games of goalkeeping because I loaded first !
>>1819406>playing as the bald guymy brother
>>1819301I'm not that interested in colabs, at least fi they're like hte Ronaldinho one. Customizing my character and kits is more fun than just using a preset skin
IOSoccer is better and free
Is it just brainlets complaining about passing on kbm? It feels intuitive as fuck, just something that needs to be broken down to muscle memory for heat of the moment play.
>>1819681honestly it might feel janky at times but there's more passing and it's more tactical... gonna post some webms of it soon or maybe make my own thread
>>1819702its the high sensitivity people are complaining about. its hard to control.
>>1819702It is very easy for you to pass the ball in the opposite direction that you want.
>never plays defense
>lowest score on team
>spams "thanks" after every opposing goal.
shitters.
Stop making me first GK in every 5v5 game holy shit
>aim the ball right on the post with a good 20m distance with curve into net
>ball hits post
game is shit
>>1819871i wish i was.
people play significantly worse after we let a goal in
>>1819871It's whoever loads first I'm 99% sure.
>>1819929Why do I keep loading first then?
>>1819937Get a worse computer/connection, maybe move away from the server.
>>1819929Curses... foiled by my NVMe SSD...
>>1818963Iโm an Amerifat. Around 9-10 pm it takes me maybe 5-10 minutes to find a match. Around 9 am it takes about 1. I think thereโs definitely far more Yuropoors playing this game.
>>1819937football game, guess the amount of thirdies you're playing with.
Loading first most of the time would'nt be that unlikely
Lads I fucking love this game. Iโve always liked the idea of playing sports games, but the yearly licensed sports games feel like a waste of money because everyone will move on to the next game. I feel like a game like this has more staying power. Really hoping the devs donโt do anything to fuck it up.
>can't devour my teammates because their hits are too bad to use as passes
What's the point then?
>>1819937its gonna be even worse when they add crossplay.
>get french teammates
>they do nothing but fuck up
>spam good job the moment somebody loses the ball
>we go down 0-2 due to poor keeper plays
>immediately start trying to score own goals
I know the devs are french, but they should ban that country entirely
Why does the goalie have the power to just pick the ball up and say "No, you're not allowed to play right now."? That's fucking retarded.
>>1820370I assume there is, but what system exists to keep the goalie from just holding the ball indefinitely
>>1820450the ball automatically drops to their feet after a couple of seconds.
>>1820370If the goalie didn't have immunity most matches you'd have one or two people just spamming tackles at him him for easy goals.
>>1820595So give him priority on his touches, don't let him end the entire play and banish the ball out of his half.
>>1820601you might as well remove the goalie role at that point, just clearing is already annoying enough when you have a retard sticking to you to bodyblock shots, imagine if they could tackle
>>1820601Once the goalie gets the ball it literally is the end of the play. Itโs over, you failed to score the goal.
>>1820672That's only because he can magically vacuum the ball by slightly touching it and take it into his anti-fun mode. The most he should be able to do is punt it away.
I always feel like a burden, its so easy to just instantly lose the match for the team and you're just fucked
>>1820716when you're on the attack, go wait in the enemy box and if your teammates don't bang it off the backboard for you to bicycle kick it in then it's their fault.
I'm having a match where the ball literally phase through me.
I can't interact with it at all, even at the initial kick off.
>down 0-2 most of the match.
>other team have been acting like rats swarming our goalkeeper whenever he gets the ball.
>score two in the last minute to tie it and send it to overtime.
>other team's goalkeeper gets the ball.

>he starts running one way.
>timer kicks in and he is forced to drop the ball.
>he pushes the ball into his own net and we win.
kek.
How many fucking Bachiras are there in this game? I swear it's every other match I see one.
anyone else notice that one soundtrack sounds like breaking bad?
>>1820833yea nasty bug. disconnect and rejoin when that happens.
Dammit, I wanted to see the passes he'd hit to me.

How many BL fags you guys encountered so far?
>>1820926None cause they're all chinks
I've seen one Lionel Messi and Ronaldo though
>>1820926I've literally only seen a billion Bachiras, a handful of Nagis and like 3 Isagis.
>>1820926Is blue lock popular because of its shit anime, or did it get a shit anime despite being popular
So is just spamming rainbow flick the strat? Seems like it animation locks you out of dispossessing them instantly.
>>1820926does BL stand for boy's love
>>1821016It was selling very well before season 1 which was alright (enough to make it blow up). Season 2 was dogshit but the manga still sells.
AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Everyone did their part and played GK except for that one faggot who thinks he's too good for the position and leaves the goal open after kickoff ?
Yep, that's a DC.
>>1821445I wish more people did that in my games. I love being a goalkeeper.
2k hours in rocket league here
Is this game fun?
watching the japs stream remarch somehow feels more right than any other race streaming it
For the first time, I feel motivated to learn and perfect my mechanics on a competitive game. Too bad I'm too old now to ever getting good.
Also, I'm all in for weird and creative tech, but that flying shit some people are starting to do where they do headers against the wall and keep going higher and higher is gay as fuck
>>1821518Thereโs still some jank, but this is definitely the kind of game you can easily put 500 hours into.
i think they fixed the shitty queues. i'm not waiting 7+ minutes solo anymore
>>1821721they rolled out a fix on friday which helped but for whatever reason today the queue times have been really good compared to yesterday

>>1822166stop playing on predictions and play on reaction
Is there a button you mean to press to simply get possession of the ball
It's so fucking hard to not put spin on a ball jesus christ.
>>1822297for xbox controller, holding a gets you possession.
>>1822322What about keyboard
I can lock my game to 60 or 120 fps without experiencing much FPS drop but for some reason I feel like there's always a bit of a stutter. Is it just UE woes or is there something with my configuration that can be fixed ? I tried with Vsync ON, OFF, locked FPS, DLSS...
>>1821518Really fucking fun with friends, get tiring real fast with randos.
I also suspect that this is the kind of game that'll get broken with a bunch of animation bugs and other shenanigan, if you want a really clean solid experience it may not be that game.
>game says there aren't enough players
>dcs me
>tells me to reconnect
>reconnect
>theres not enough playes
>close the game
>it still tells me to reconnect
am i in hell
>>1822322Can you really just hold the button down? You donโt need to time the press or anything?
>>1823347well what it does is touch the ball right in front of you, basically stopping it. so all you have to do is walk/run up to get it.
>>1823373and yeah you literally just hold it when you see its close to you.
>goalie
>clearing out the ball like usual
>suddenly goal
>what the fuck
>check the replay
>Iโm doing a shooting pass to a team mate on the opponentโs side of the field
>ball is clearly shooting forward out the goal
>must have hit the side of the net or the top of the net on the way out
>counts as an own goal
>team didnโt even spam good job because I think they were also genuinely surprised it registered as a goal
>>1823401if you shoot the ball towards you team while in your goal, it counts as a goal
>>1823417So Iโm guessing you just step over the goal line first before you shoot the ball out? I must have done that shooting pass a few dozen times already and that was the first time it happened.
Think weโll ever have a club system that lets players join clubs and play against other clubs to climb a club ranking system? Or this game too arcadey for something like that?
>>1823442>So Iโm guessing you just step over the goal line first before you shoot the ball out?yeah pretty much.
>>1823475they said in one of the news posts on steam
>club creation systemso yeah probably
>>18156843v3 and 4v4 are much more fun than 5s
I'm really hoping they ad ranked to at least 4s
>>1823501>>1815684Really? I think 5v5 is the best. Its not like the game is less arcadey because the action slows down a little.
>add 2v2

They should tone down GKs magnetic gloves.
Lots of time it feels like some are unbeatable unless they get fucked by desync or the other team let you juggle it against the wall for one hour.
>>1823813It's really inconsistent, sometimes you're catching a ball really far away and others it goes very close to your model without catching it. It doesn't help that some players are condemned to play GKs most of the time because they're loading first (my case), on top of the hitbox problems there's getting screwed over by the wrong animation playing or teammates blaming you at the first mistake (but them, they're too good for the role so they'll leave the goal post empty). My favourite though is definitely:
>GK for 3 minutes sweating your balls off and your team finally scores>"sweet, I'll be able to play a bit">then there's like 3 goals in the span of 40 seconds>back to GK for the rest of the match
>>1815153If there are retards who payed for the game and still spend their time trying to score own goals, imagine how bad it would get if it was f2p
>>1823813>>1824186In the closed betas GK was consistently strong and I though it was nice. You could only score by deceiving the keeper either by yourself or through teamplay. Apparently, people complained about the role being "too OP" and now we have this mess
>>1824186>Dive in the right direction with the right timing>Ball was too close to the ground so the animation just belly flops and misses completely>Randomly kick the ball when passing plenty of time before the timer runs out >Get tackled.The best way to goal is just rushing to the ball marker and never dive
>people already finding out (small) animation exploits
Do (you) think these should be patched out ? It can add complexity to the game but on the other hand it kills readability and you can't read the models' "body language" to act appropriately, it becomes mostly reaction time. It's not a problem in RL because there is only a single mechanic, hitting the ball. How you hit it determines your mechanical skill, and the ball trajectory is always predictable except for corners.
>>1824266>Do (you) think these should be patched out ?Absolutely. You already pointed out the fact that it messes up the readability, but it also looks bad. Every exploit or tech that makes the game look ugly or dumb should be patched out.
>>1824266High skill ceiling being dictated by who can exploit animations better is what killed Mordhau and Chilvary so yes. The game has already plenty of tools to do fakeouts against your opponents and it's also a team game.
fuck me this game is like crack. i was having a miserable time all day with shit games, but as soon as I scored a goal, the feelings went a way. played for another 4 hours.
>>1823813>playing goalie. >opponent attacking.>dive for ball. >I see the indicator that I have the ball in my hand. >half a second later the ball phases through me and goes into the goal.
>>1824266>(small) animation exploitsIs it while dribbling? Just played a couple games where some guys kicked the ball one way and suddenly attracted it to the other side as if they had magnets.
It's insane watching people getting better in the spam of a couple of hours. Just yesterday I was playing against shitters like myself and today I'm matched with and against players with insane mechanics, who actually pass the ball around and don't spam "good job" at the slightest fuck up
How do you actually win 5v5 ranked games by yourself
>>1824646theres a timing thing where the opponents can kick the ball and it'll go through even if the goalie dives for it at the same time he kicks it. teams were abusing this in the most recent tourney
>>1824669Yes, it's show here at 1:20:
https://youtu.be/0HN_OClKhZ4?feature=shared&t=80
Honestly looks retarded since the ball doesn't follow a natural trajectory. The only drawback is that it seems to drain stamina like crazy.
>>1824266yeah these should be fixed asap
>>1823813You say this now but it's already hard enough as it is to play goalie. You might think you'd be able to carry your team easily if it was easier to score goals, but when your teams start letting in four uncontested goals in a minute you're going to start raging at how retarded they are for not being able to save any goals.
>>1824266PVP games are fun when people play the game instead of breaking the game in obviously unintentional ways. If those things are not fixed, it will just lead to the only people left playing being the small amount of people who learn the exploits or retards, just like mordhau.

>>1824683wut? how does this work?
seems like the game stopped being fun that
>never plays defense.

>second time kicks it half the field away right to the goalie.
>continues to spam ball call before he quits.
>dive one way for the ball.
>I see the animation break and it dives me in a different direction.
What is this
>teammate cancels your shooting animation and misses his shot
I love just standing besides people who like to sit near the other team's goalie. They contribute nothing and use up all their stamina running away from me. When the ball finally does come their way, they have no stamina, so I just kick the ball away from them.
Go and play defense, cutie.
Managed to hit plat playing defense with randoms, if I can make it so can you, don't give up anons!
Itโs retarded how ineffective normal shots are in this game, they made goal keeping far too easy because of the walls. Iโd prefer a game where the walls were less effective but shots were more difficult and effective. As it is every game at high rank is a low scoring snooze fest or just people trying to do lobs off the wall into scoring with a pass or doing blade shot shit over and over again
>>1824266The weird glitch magnet dribbling might be acceptable if it required frame perfect inputs but literally any retard can spam it and it makes the game unreadable and random as a defender. The touch system gives enough room to outplay on defense without the magnet shit. Patch it out
>equalizer goes in during OT
>GAME OVER
this game is shit.
>>1824606Nothing should bring you more joy than your own goals, live only for that glorious moment.
They need to add a button that cancels spin, it's way too easy to slightly move your mouse after initiating a shot.
Is there a button that lets you just take possession of the ball without needing to kick it, i.e. someone passes me the ball and I want to just stop it.
>>1825114Closest is space/A/(X? that's the A equivalent for controllerfags right?) kind of annoying that it kicks it away instead of immediately taking it into possession though, but it's all there is to trap it.

>>1826552I know about the trick but sometimes I crack under pressure and still dive.
How do you defend against a guy waiting for a rebound so he can volley shot? Iโve been standing near him and holding left trigger or trying to deflect it with a header but neither seems reliable.
>>1827106It seems unreliable on who has priority, I have the most success with using pass to clear the ball but sometimes I'll go into the pass (headbutt) animation and the guy's volley will still go through. Using the Y button (jumping headbutt) to intercept rarely works I found.
>>1827106unreliable priority, I can click before the players, be on position before them and they still get the hit.
Kind of details that makes me mad maining defensive positions
>>1820304>french teammatesguaranteed nafri
>>1827106Do not hold left trigger when defending from crosses/rebounds, at least not when trying to clear the ball.
You won't be able to input shoot/pass/push the ball from afar, the ball "blue lock" won't appear if you are on the "dribble stance". Took me a while to figure it
Extra effort making you not be able to possess the ball is retarded. And for something that triggers so freely unintentionally, it sure doesn't like to be triggered when you fucking want it to.

Okay.
>>1827322>the ball "blue lock" won't appear if you are on the "dribble stance".oh my god what a game changer. this entire time ive been in defensive stance and wondering why the hell i cant get any defensive headers.
Why are Blue Lock niggers so bad when Blue Lock literally emphasizes positioning?
I swear, there's always some Russian retard on the voice chat talking in his subhuman ESL language. Don't they know that English is the lingua franca?
nothing feels better than scoring the game winner
people are so bad, seeing simple fundamental soccer practices makes me smile. especially when it comes to goal scoring. seeing someone have a clear shot at goal slow down the pace just so they can do some dribble bullshit rigamarole only to end up losing the ball or miss makes me angry.
as soon as youre in a scoring position, just pick a corner and fucking bloot it. none of this bullshit.
>>1828147If no one is near me I will take it slow to try to mess up the goalie.
>>1827903They didn't... you're just bad and need extra assistance.
>>1820370In standard footy you're not allowed to do that off a friendly pass, so any enemy trying to shoot for the goal needs to shoot strong enough that the gk won't be able to hold on to it.
my god, I was playing 4v4 and had the most obnoxious type of player 3x.

we somehow won but I genuinely wish death upon these cocksuckers. there is usually just one of these in a given team, but when you get a whole team of them you really give up on humanity.

Iโm having fun trying to set up my team mates and trying to rack up my assists stat.
>>1831255No idea, but I'm going to guess ctrl to enter defensive position and space bar to dash
>>1831142some loose concepts of positioning and passing discipline can be transfered over but honestly jt's a whole another game. Try it, see for yourself if you like it or not.
>>1831236If your teammate gently passes you the ball and there is no rush, just let it come to you and you will pick it up.
One part of being goalie is that standing still and letting the ball come to you (even on an enemy attack) works more often than not.
>>1831255If you mean the extra effort, it is double-tapping shift.
>>1831591not the super sprint but i see some people dash side to side, whats that on the keyboard?
They need to make offsides a thing in this game.

First time I ever, "good job," someone over a negative play because that deserved it. Thankfully we scored about ten seconds later anyways.
>>1831916Oh that, I think it is C by default while you are holding the defensive stance button. It is called Dash in game.
>>1832400Play defense.
Pass the ball.
Learn how to dribble because simply doing that is enough to be better than the majority of players you will come across.
Do the goal goblins ever consider that someone would not want to pass to them when they are covered by three defenders near the opposing goalkeeper
>>1832400pass and learn good positioning. do that and youre already gold rank with that alone.
>>1827903>How the fuck did they manage to mess up passingIt's really hard to aim a right-click pass. The ball just seems to go in whatever the fuck direction half the time. The game should display a directional preview before the ball is released so you have a few frames to adjust the direction.
>>1831142Rematch is harder mechanically. Pretty much the only thing that transfers from haxball is knowing to stay behind your opponents so that you don't give up a 2v1 counterattack

Most egregious one I have seen.
>>1836167I'm so bad at this game I almost don't want to play it because the teams that get stuck with me could have done better with literally almost anyone else.
I usually have some of the highest points in the game but I fuck up at pivotal moments frequently enough that I cost games.
this game is considered a success based on the review count but what's the overhead cost of running a game like this? they have dedicated servers for each region and those costs add up. i didn't buy the game for this reason since they're just an AA company.
I just want to be able to go on an attack one time and have someone else actually play defense.
I've lost count of how many balls I've recovered just to panic while trying to dribble or to give possession straight back with the shittiest pass ever. At some point I was decent at both, I swear, but somehow I've lost all ability to maintain possession or give a decent pass
Can I get one match that is not a team of bumbling ball chasing idiots versus a five man

What causes someone to queue and then go afk, the queues do not take twenty minutes anymore.
They need to add a call that just says, "play defense," for the goalie and have it not get stopped by a spam filter.
>>1839451There are so many times I see an opponent completely free and just can't tell my teammates to cover them. Sure, that's exactly what voice chat is for, but I really don't want to talk with randoms.

Why are they like this? Next time one of these young scholars does this I'm not filling in. We're going to lose. Then when it's my turn in net I'm going to say it just like him and walk out too.
If this future doctor took 5 seconds to think
> what if everyone refused to play goalie
he'd recognize how his anti-social behaviour leads to a breakdown of the game but considering he likely can't even imagine how he'd feel if he hadn't eaten breakfast that morning, I guess that level of thinking is expecting too much. Holy shit.

Jesus fucking Christ. I guess itโs safe to say this game smashed all expectations.
>>1841306>90k viewersyeah seems its coming mostly from 2 japs. but ive noticed the japs really took a liking to this game. the devs should do a collab with a jap soccer player.
>>1841307PES/Winning Eleven was pretty popular in Japan so that sorta makes sense. Or maybe itโs the Blue Lock nerds.
Game badly needs an enemy pinging system. That way you can ping cherry pickers to let your retard team know theyre cherry picking. Probably give to GK or something.
>take a rest from the game after 2 consecutive ranked loses

I really love this game and playing defensive midfield is a blast (and I'm decent), but I'm hard stuck at plat hell because a defensive player can't carry randoms, it is like trying to grind ranked alone as a support 5 in Dota, I really don't know what to do brehs
Are the qualifiers in the season pass not open yet? There's no date listed while the championships are open.
>>1823689I agree. I think the only people that don't like 5v5 are the ones that want to be the main character.
They need to fix this game's broken animations before this turns into another chilvary/mordhau game.
>>1843158>Are the qualifiers in the season pass not open yet? There's no date listed while the championships are open. >
Doesnt it say its like in 4 days or something?
Is there some kind of method (exploit) that allows people to ignore the tackle, or is it just lag
>>1843267Yeah says qualifiers are open in 2 days while championship in like a month.
I wonder if there is going to be a substantial patch in two days when the new battlepass opens up.
For the love of God, they need to add an option to adjust the deadzones on passing. I wanted to slightly adjust the angle, not pass it into the complete opposite direction.

As a rookie goalie IRL I'm interested in playing this game in order to somehow translate my skills over to real life.
Against all possible logic, I truly feel playing fucking Valorant made me a better goalie, so I really believe in this skills transfer stuff.
What am I in for? I'm not interested in playing any other position. Is it doable? I'm I going to be that Goalie Goblin or whatever someone mentioned?
I'd like to play competitively, as well.
Cheerio.
>>1847557>I truly feel playing fucking Valorant made me a better goalieAre you talking about that counterstrike clone or something else
>What am I in for?90% of the time you are going to be in one-on-one or more situations because this game has no offsides and nobody plays defense. Also the fags who exploit broken animations to make goaltending impossible.
Other than that, goalie is a forgiving position. As long as your model touches the ball you take possession of it, and you cannot lose possession for several seconds after.
>under 40k daily players
its over...
>>1847559Yeah, that one. A hero shooter. I used to play a couple nights before a game and it made me take better decisions as to wether I needed to get out to repel the ball or stay for the one-on-one, also gaymer reflexes.
Alright I might just get it, then. It's either this or Cyberpunk, since both are priced equally in my region.
Thx.
>>1848001This game is also just a fun little, "I just want to play something for a bit," game. Matches are only six minutes long (not counting overtime) and the game mercy rules after a four goal lead. The game is simple, yet complex.

Amazing what the game is like when you have two sides full of competent players who actually rotate from playing offense and defense instead of cherry picking all game.
I really need to learn how to properly dribble.
And I mean properly dribble. None of that gay ippy slide exploit bullshit that needs to be patched out of the game.
I just saw someone called ".json buzz" who phased through a GK doing a tackle on him and a little earlier has one shot go through a blocking GK. Is it extreme lag or is there already such cheats?

>>1815684so this is how the game looks without 170ms lag
God I love just annoying cherry pickers. Just standing by them, using defensive stance (it slows them down if you do it right by them), and making them completely ineffective the whole match. I get MVP almost every match because goalies love to pass to them despite being covered for some reason.
>>1856127For some reason I've been getting worse performance recently. I don't know why but performance seems to be somewhat linked to netcode in this game, games that are especially laggy are the worst in terms of fps. Maybe they turned off some servers on PC because concurrent users have dropped? Who knows.

It is a gamble of either scoring a goal or your goalie being in a two-on-one.

After being almost stuck forever in Platinum I breezed through Diamond in like 15 games (total clown fiesta most of the time) and now I'm Master. I don't even feel like I belong there.
They really need to allow us to derank between ranks instead of just divisions. Hope there's a reset between seasons.
I do not care about crossplay or anything else, I just want the ippy slide faggotry to be out of the game.
