Well, I honestly tried to give the main game another chance. Y'all's hints helped, but I still suck at the game, I still hate the controls, still hate the erratic motion of the characters, still hate how the ball travels fast when the OTHER team passes it, but crawls when mine does. I just. don't. get it. Thank goodness they provided alternative games this year.
Thanks for the help and suggestions, though. I actually did manage to win one game (out of who knows how many I played) and tied a couple, and I don't think I would've been able to do that on my own.
Looks like I'll be slinging slushies and cheering my lungs out for the remainder of the Cup.
Don't give up! Even lost games count, and it is possible to improve with practice.
You've read the hints in the sticky, right? If you're still having trouble with your mouse cursor, maybe it might help to change it in Windows to something really bright and obvious so that you always know exactly where it is even when you're looking at your players. I wish there was some way to video a successful game for those who are struggling.
In other news, a user made a petpage with all of last year's prizes listed, here:
http://www.neopets.com/~cobrawll#prizes . The top prizes were semi-cool dual-duty Battledome weapons, followed by the PB and the Yooyu petpet. Hopefully they won't give away the exact same items this year - maybe a Darigan Yooyu instead, for starters. Fraid I can't see them creating a whole new paintbrush specially for the winning world if one doesn't exist already.
