If you do not want to stand in front of a goal and waste time watching a ball bounce around, than it is time for you to enjoy the full experience of the game Deckball. Even though standing infront of your goal might keep your opponent from scoring on you, I find it very boring and time consuming. It’s time we get in the game.
The successfully play of Deckball is dependent of the managing of many small skills. Deckball skill comes with practice, and the key to Deckball is anticipation. One has to know how the ball moves, how your opponent moves, and what you should do to either score or avoid being scored upon.
Tips:
– Always stay in between your goal and the ball. While it is not required for you to remain in your goal area, it is important that you stay on that side of the ball. You want the ball to go the opposite ways anyways, it only makes sense. It is sometimes tempting to position yourself on the side of the ball especially when Mirgle has the ball. Just try to stay on your side.
– Corners are the most difficult but also the most helpful way to manage your play.
– The two corners on your opponents side should not be played. Instead, stand in the middle of the playing area and wait for the ball to come out. Mirgle will always hit the ball a few times before missing. The ball then rolls right across the middle of the court, and you can easily hit it in.
– If the ball is in the corners towards your goal you should play the ball. Mirgle will hit the ball from the left. Your goal is to hit the ball towards the wall and corner while he hits it towards the opposite wall. You want to try to keep the ball in the corner by working one side while he works the other. The benefit of this is the fact that most of the time the game will then place the ball underneath Mirgle. Mirgle than can not hit it until he is off of the ball. Most of the time the ball goes underneath him towards your goal, and then you can hit it towards your scoring area.
– The start of play is also important. Do not just rush towards the ball. You have to try to devise a way to get it in the goal right away. You want to hit the ball before Mirgle, and if you can’t get a shot on goal, than atleast try to hit it near the goal. It is important that you beat him to the ball, so go straight until you are definite about where you will make contact with the ball. If the ball is going fast you can not tell which way to go in the beginning, go straight until you can.
– Another key to aggressive play is to make contact with Mirgle. Deckball is a full contact sport, and it becomes your benefit to position your opponent. Knocking into him will actually push him relatively far. If you want him to hit the ball up, than hit him down. If you want to prevent him from touching a ball going into the goal, than just try to make any contact with him. Often times it is more important to hit Mirgle than to hit the ball.
I think that Deckball is the most exciting game on neopets. It just requires practice so you can anticipate what will happen. Deckball is a aggressive full contact game, and playing it in this manner is a whole lot of fun.
