Automatic hit when ball would otherwise fall out of baseline

Postby Cipcino81 » 22 Feb 2024, 02:01

Hello,
after playing many matches, there is one thing I find very annoying.
When the other player shot the ball and it shoud land out of your baseline, if you have your player in line with the shot, he automatically hit the ball with a volley, when he should just let it go out.
That is not realistic when the player is just sitting on the baseline, because as we see in real matches, the player usually follows the ball to see if it lands outside, and if so do not hit it.
It would be way better if the player would not automatically hit the ball if that ball will fall outside AND the player is near the baseline. :bounce:

Hello,

I checked the code and actually it was possible to not see the ball was out when it was up to 1m60 too long..!

This is indeed quite unrealistic when we're standing on the baseline so for this case I lowered the max distance to ~20cm for the next update, so it should happen only for borderline cases.
