Ball drop game mode.

[Dyno]

This is a very rough idea but I thought I would just write it down and see if it's interesting to anyone. I was just thinking about football and ultimate frisbee relating to the ball game mode. What if there were some kind of turn over or restart if the ball ever touched the ground. The idea in itself doesn't really sound good but what could an idea similar to these be like?

Say something about it or change the idea.

Just a quick thought,

It'd be very challenging, but I think it would improve passing skills a lot. Maybe it could be used as a type of training or something.

It is an interesting idea. How about a "drop counter" instead of a restart? That way, you could challenge another team and see who drops the ball the least in a certain time period or up to a certain number of goals.

If the idea is to mix in a little ultimate frisbee, how about a ball variation where the ball carrier's speed is cut to nearly nothing, so that all field movement is by passing?

this sounds like a cool idea. Now do you recommend being stationary in the air without falling, or stalling (and thereby falling) until you pass the ball?

Instead you could think of rules like basketball or handball. You just can't travel with the ball. After 2 or 3 "steps" you need to pass.
There are ways you could enforce it here. Maybe the plane stalls if you travel. Or you lose health points - the ball could be radioactive

Hmm, I was originally thinking no stalling, but just having your engine cut but momentum maintained on ball pickup could be fun.

I was also thinking maybe the ball should refill health on pickup so its actually about passing and intercepting and not just destroy the gimped guy who touched the ball.

Or if when you get the ball you are stuck on one spot and if you don't pass it within three seconds (or some amount of time) the ball is automatically shot. Or a turnover.

Or read the forums. Lamster said they won't be making new game modes because it's fragmenting the community.

Quote needed.

A puberty game mode? no thanks
