Hello,

It would be interesting to add a setting in gameplay settings to turn off automatic shots from our player, when we don't press a key for doing a shot.

It could fix two things :
- Allow the player to manually decide to hit a ball or not if we judge it will be fault > now the shot is automatically impossible when the opponent's ball will be fault and it's a bit unrealistic and frustrating. It could add more immersion if we can decide to hit or not. And we can decide to hit but the ball will be fault so we will have the point, like in real life
- Stop having our player hit automatically a shot when our player is too far from the opponent's ball. It will fix this unrealistic behavior

What's your opinion manutoo ?

Thanks

Hello,

it's not possible : it's required so you can focus on your positioning, and hitting the ball at the last instant is still possible.

In higher levels of difficulty, it's indispensable to have it, because you'd just not have time to take care of it by yourself before finishing positioning your player.

The strike animation doesn't trigger if you end up too far from the ball, even by moving as fast as possible.

So if it triggers, it means you'd end up not too far from the ball, and the anim playing would help to get a better idea of how much you'd have missed the ball.
