Indeed, if you don't prepare your acceleration very early, you have a small chance that your player loses control of the ball and that it ends longer than expected. Sometimes it can be for your advantage (ie: when it stays in the court and get longer) and sometimes not, like in the present case. :fear:


I understand that but I prepared as early as humanly possible in this case. It looks like all of my movement was autopos from me preparing extremely early.

Sorry, I should have said "prepared for a long time" instead of "prepared very early".
If you want to avoid these balls as often as possible, pick a player who has his Precision above his Power (I guess you were playing with a WTET pre-made player, as his Precision was a bit lower than his Power).

KINGBARBOZA,
your last Bug Report :
HOW?


Same than before : as long as you don't have a long preparation time (about 1 second in perfect conditions), then you have a tiny chance to make a fault or send the ball into the net. There your preparation was 0.41s long.

Hey Manu, I see you've added a white outline to the green errors. Could you explain what exactly it means?

Also could you maybe add an option to simply increase the green error size instead of the white outline? It looks a lot uglier with the outline.

Cheers

It's just a visual helper (ie: there's no exact calculation involved), but the ball inside the green part at least ~60% of the time, and ~90% of the time when including the white zone.

I prefer to have visually 2 different zones ; if you can do a better texture in the style but prettier, I'll put it in the game ! :yes:

What are the factors to make a ball go outside the white zone? With a correct body positioning

And... are there any option for switch off the error info but keeping the game showing just when a ball is going out?

thanks!

johnmachete,
1) Different physical modulations can combine to make the ball end longer or short : speed, spin, vertical & horizontal directions.
The shorter the preparation time, the bigger the modulations can get, leading to a bigger chance for the ball to end outside the white zone.

2) No.
