Football Fever - Actual Football map

I was playing some game circulating USEast called Baseball. Boy, was it hella fun! Even though there are no tweaks, super-strengthed, baseball players, you got to understand that the rules are real. It was THAT that made it fun.

Anyone considered making an actual football game? If not, I'm thinking of making one. I am tired of all those "Football" and "Night Elf Spells" tweaks. I want actual football, with the actual crowd cheering for the touchdown. I want DEE-FENSE screamed out! It will be hella fun!

Haven't thought of it. Go make it, it sounds like a pretty good idea even though I don't really like football. Me no like pain. =\

Who said YOU will feel da pain? If I make it, I will make the UNITS FEEL DA PAIN! :D :D

I do play football sometimes, but if I can't go outside, then I rather play something that doesn't require my leg to be crushed by 140 pounders emote_sweat

make it like Proball in SC only much more violent...
I'd suggest making it that everything explodes on death, and make it that the ball is an item that casts Revenge (insta sucide) and massive Aoe on Death. This will basically be a desperation move to destroy the ball but if theyre on you like white on rice...well blast there ***.

There will be 5 players on each team, with 2 football people for each.

If they have the ball, I think it's fair to make them slower.

For tackling, they must be in a region to type "s (stop)" and the person who does it will explode the enemy. The start of the hut will disable the tackling for 3 seconds.

Throwing will be easy (patrol and click on a player), but kicking it will be hella hard. I gotta invent a system that alters the power of the kick. I don't want 100% kick-chance.

The even harder part of it is to create players after a down. I need some mad skilzzzz to create the football players right on the previous amount of yards. I'm thinking of making an invisible unit that can't be scene (with no collision) to follow the path of the football (from the middle). Then, after a down, create football players based on the offsets of the invisible unit. It might work, it might not, but I think it's going to work.

The ball travel will depend on if you throw or kick. If you throw, it will always be flying for 3 seconds, and then land. If no one gets the landing ball, it's going to be incomplete. I'm disabling Fumbles, because it might be a bit too hard then.

It's going to be hella challange, but if it does work, it's hella fun.

make the ball an item with "dropped when carrier dies" on and you have to kill the ball holder to get the ball...

No, I'm going to use a brown cannonball as the football. Having an item will be stupid... You'll see a treasure chest in the middle of the field... emote_sweat

UPDATE: I made some progress by creating the actual field and the units like the Players and the Football (which you'll see under the middle Peasant's dingaling rolling around endlessly).



Well, that's the easy part. Now for the hella-hard part....

Are you actualy going to create football, like everytime the guy is tackled, ball resets, guys line up etc...Or are you going to make it like rugby, where the ball is constantly live?

Don't know if you have ever played the board game bloodbowl by GW, but I think a game based around that would be awesome. You could have different races, and special guys, etc. let me know if you wanna find out any more info on this.

Hope my ideas are helpful and your map is going along well.

Make four teams: Humans, Orc, Night Elves, and Undead. Each team would have a specialty, like Night Elves would have their speed, Orcs would have good tacklers, Humans are all-around or something, and Undead are... I dunno but something like that. that would be sick!

I am not willing to do tweaks for any team, as speed will always be the best (quaterback running, anyone?) and balancing will take another year to do.

Features:

1) There will be 5 human players for each team, and the captain (voted at the beginning) will be the quaterback, while the other players control TWO units.

2) To make it fair, player with the ball loses movement speed; from 300 to 250, so it won't be so unfair.

3) THIS WILL BE REAL FOOTBALL. The only thing that can't be done is fumbles (where someone catches it, and 3 seconds later they drop it). It will be too hella hard to do and no one likes a fumble. Also, the yards are really excluded in this. Instead, it will be calculated as REGION.

4) Cinematics will be played everytime someone scored a touchdown, and when the team switches to DEE-FENSE, if you get what I mean :D Of course, you will be able to vote for no cinematics.

5)

Using offsets and mega amounts of variables, I will be able to create players based on the ball's landing.

6) There will also be an option of turning on precipitation such as rain, snow, and even fogs...

7) Also, if the game is played long, you will see the sky darkening! That means the nightsky has come, and it will be harder to see! Neato?

well i played baseball too and it was hella fun ...i specialy got amazed when i did a homerun...lol anyway what amazed me the most was when the ball hit the wall and re bounded...i dunno how he did that..requires a lot of JASS i guess

WOAH!!!!!! FOOTBALL !!!11

Will the other teammates have to get to were the ball is going to land to catch it? You should let the quarterback have options when he is throwing. Id make a circle of power appear right were the quartback clicks, to show where the ball is going, then the other players can go run to that spot, to catch the ball, or block, if needed.

Also, im curious about the field goal kicking....How would that work? I love the idea though, it brings a tear to my eye :*)

Oh, and about the fumble. You could give each unit a 5% chance to randomly drop the ball while running with it. And then give them a chance to recover it.

THIS IS SMOOTH :D

Edit: Forgot to tell you...It should be as much like real football as possible. So in that case...It wouldnt really make sense to have units with weapons, and so on....Or to have them explode and die when they get hit. You should just make them get knocked on their face.

How bout you get an actually football go in this place called outside.:D
