Howdy, and apologies for the lack of a new build recently. I've been holding off on posting a new one until I can address one of the more glaring issues still outstanding.
What I've been seeing is new players stuck in 0-0 matches going overtime endlessly. To partially deal with this, I want to implement a Sudden Death Overtime feature where the next point wins the game. For one, it takes away the time limit, and people will have time to score before time runs out. But I am also seeking a way to deal with the goalie situation in Sudden Death Overtime -- I'd rather not eliminate them completely but I'm playing with some ideas.
To further address this I'll need a couple other features in place, but they are larger than anyone should have to wait for the next build. Hopefully this feature will make the game friendlier for new players. When the new update is ready it will also go out with a new random event that I think you all will like. The event is in place now and just needs art at this point.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the current build, and if you're struggling against the AI, I recommend practicing shots in Shot Practice mode, and for the love of all that is precise, use a controller with an analog stick to play :)
There will eventually be a tutorial, but that's a bit further down the road.
