2006/Y8 Altador World Cup! (Split 11)

[Raza]

Roo island? Ok, we're screwed. I can say screwed here, right?

[Dustin]

Wewt!
I seriously hope the Haunted Woods makes it through to the finals. I've been on that team since round one, and I want a good prize. xD.

Well good luck to you! This is funny, because I hope Krawk Island makes it to the finals, because I've been with them since round one. Maybe the best team win ^-^

Hahaha.
To bad we're playing against each other this round, otherwise we could've went to finals together.
But I agree, may the best team win!

Nice job TNT! goalies can't hold balls for over 5 seconds now, so no more one point wins. now i have to actually play every game. and i so don't have the time to waste getting wins. so, good luck haunted woods!

[Cerise]

Yay Well, Im really happy about the goalie timer, and Krawk Island is fun to play against.

Now that I've been with Haunted Woods for a full round, I feel more connected to the team, and willing to put in a bigger effort. Maybe I'll double my wins and break 100 this time.

Enjoy my Benny Hill rendition of the Altador Cup.
Blame/thank Sky for the inspiration. This is far too hilarious to be missed.

I haven't had much time to play, but I did get a win in today. 2-0

As itzipg posted before, there's a way to replace the goalie-trick...

At the kickoff, just get the ball and run straight into an opponent. He won't move from his starting position and no other players will move either, so this way you can easily hit space bar and do something else while time ticks away

Wow... 3rd round... I'm gonna do more this time... I've already got 11 wins.

Roo Island? I'm not scared anymore...

[mercurius]

wow.. . i don't know if anyone noticed, but this has gotten harder. . .

[anjuna]

Holy Kanga, those Roos can go fast sometimes! Tougher defense and I notice a lot more of a contact sport now. Even super-goalie seems slower but I still can't get past him. Would be nice if for the finals TNT would be nice enough to let us play our hearts out and get rid of the super-goalie.

i dont know guys... roo island has a lot of supporters.... and theyve shown to be surprisingly strong despite their appearance as a little mini world team.... im scared to think positive thinking they might win as a result! But im still working my butt off.... im at 9 points.... just started recently..... lets DO THIS!

you know.... i say let them leave it like that, because i think they are actually only hurting themselves doing that, because they could be earning MORE points.. like twice or thrice the points if they actually tried... they can sit there with there one point win, but in the SAME three minutes, other people are getting 9 point wins..... in the same time!

What happens if your goalie holds the ball more than 5 seconds? Im too busy to try and find out....

It just pitches the ball back out to whatever direction you are facing.

ah, thanks! I was hoping it wouldnt make you lose that game or something dumb like that... but didnt want to risk it

This is DEFINATELY harder. Ive only managed to get to get a 9-0 once.... and that was the only time i made it to 9 points! Luckily ive mastered alll of the balls finally and know their sweet spots but the computer is what is making it harder! The things im noticing are:

1) They can kick better. There passes go farther, which makes mutant and faerie balls easy to intercept, but if its a close pass, or an ice or fire ball, they just ZOOM from one player to the next! They pass VERY quickly!
2) There's either a glitch, or the players actually ARE stronger, because when pressing shift, theyve actually stopped my players in their tracks on numerous occasions... and a few times, theyve run into each other, and their team loses two players because the two are in a squabble trying to run through eachother! It's like their strenght level has been upped 200%!
3) i actually think they are a little bit faster... it might be just me, but theyve managed to catch up to me or the ball faster then previously....
4) Just as passing faster, they are shooting faster. If they are on YOUR 3rd of the court, its very hard to block a fire ball!
5) They defineteley have strategies or something, because theyll pass the ball to 3 or 4 players before it gets to the main offensive player... its crazy... the only way i get the ball is by intercepting (only with mutant and faerie balls) or beating it off of the player.... but they turn so sneakily now.... oi!

this is harderrrrr.... WHYYYyyyyyyyyy

Yeah. All you just said. I can still manage to get 7 to 9 goals consistently, but at the last minute they usually end up popping one in while I play ring-around-the-goalie.

[IanB]

I definitely applaud the change that the goalie can only hold the ball 5 seconds but I have to boo the bug where my players keep getting "stuck" behind his players. This especially affects my previous forward player in their goal area - I press shift to send him back and he runs into the centre-back player and can't get past him so just sticks there
I've not managed a single 9-0 this round (although I did get an 8-0) I even had to settle for a 2-0 win in one game which I never did previously.
