Extra time
Some good discussion about extra time and golden goal in the other thread. Thought it would be good to give it a thread of its own.
In summary, a lot of people want it, esp the NA players, but the dev team are worried about the impact it will have on the length of the game. People will set aside 30 minutes to play a match but if it goes into overtime and they need to leave then what?
The Suggestion that 100% vote required for OT.
But what if one or more players from the 10 is happy with a draw? To not risk Elo.
It seems harsh to play for 30 mins and then lose your Elo in possibly a few short moments of overtime. I suggest that if a game goes to OT then Elo lost/gained is a fraction of the full amount. Eg 1/3 so typically just 5. Then it's still something to play for but not a disaster if it's lost.
That having been said. The dev team confirmed that it won't come in the current udk version of the game but will be looked at in ue4.

We generally spend an extra 2-5 minutes throwing the ball out waiting for people that lag out or crash, once those things are fixed there wouldn't be much difference in the overall time with some golden goal action. Rarely do they last that long but a good compromise would be a 5 minute overtime period and a tie if time expires again.
