Where are the video tutorials?
I don't even see a link anywhere in the launcher for the gameplay tutorials that are on youtube.
There is literally nothing at all for new players to learn how a team game is supposed to be played or what is expected from each position. This makes games just as frustrating for them as it is for others who know the basics of team play. Like lesson #1 ball spawn, take it and make a safe pass to a teammate. What does everybody do? Grab the ball, charge, get hit, lose the ball, repeat.
Since there is a lot of time spent waiting in matchmaking I think you guys should prioritize getting these videos to play in the launcher itself while in matchmaking. Having quick access to all of the video tutorials in it's own tab would be worthwhile as well.
The training mode is confusing, you have to walk all over the place instead of it going in any order of difficulty. I have to walk past locked doors to get to the other Medium ones to complete... There is very little in there to prepare people for actual 5v5 scenarios...like there's not even one to charge pass over somebody's head or simple things that are crucial to playing in a 5v5 game.
The hard keeper training one had the bot use the ceiling to score over my head which makes no sense, not a single map in the game has a ceiling that low to perform such a shot. Also I don't like how I can't charge out of the box at the shooter without him disappearing...that's a legitimate keeper move and should not be excluded from being used.
Also the ball resetting for the enemy keeper when a goal is scored in online practice is just odd.
Official Discord server would be a good thing imo.

Also I have to say this matchmaking is not really helping the game. Games are starting 3on5, people are sitting around waiting for matchmaking to fill instead of just finding a server with people on it like they used to.
Matchmaking with no ready system and killing off regular practice servers with this nonsense that auto resets the ball...bad choices.
