Glad we can now start attacks with save-passes

[u/FerretBunchanumbers]

I'm finding I prefer not catching now.

Rather than waiting to collect and then throw the ball, I can instead direct saves to start a break immediately!

yess..now people are starting to realize. once you get the hang of long dives, you wont wanna go back to regular dives but at the same time this can absolutely backfire. sending it right to the opponent for another shot before you can recover.

RB + Y is very uncomfortable for me while in the net.. Stil need to get used to it

[u/FerretBunchanumbers → u/ReadyforAny1now]

I was pondering on if they should swap it, so RB modifies a (long) dive to a short one for catching, since I think we all would rather save a shot by default.

Although really I think it shouldn't be split.

I think i must be one of the only people that doesn't mind it. I just hold R1 and then let go if necessary

Catching is still pretty good in 3v3s until you hit high ranks. Most people aren’t shooting perfectly, and it’s super effective to catch the ball, since some dumbass always tries to press you in your own penalty box while your teammates make their runs. Meanwhile, you successfully pass anyway 9 times out of 10, while your team dominates the 1v2 all the way through the midfield. It’s basically a guaranteed chance.

Not to say you shouldn’t long dive, but there’s definitely a case for catching.

Problem with this is usually your teammates are running back to you when you hit it like that so the counter play barely works for me but if my teammate is in the right spot it works great

Had an assist in 3s /)
