[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1165670, member: 55747"] Thanks for sharing. Me likey. 1. I would actually pay for this to happen. 2. I would LOVE this but my experience tells me most people would not. They'd rather have a flawless AI once we get the right machine speed and adjust the algorithms to the current laws. 3. Not sure, for several reasons. First, some teams have invested heavily in this precisely because of the reward it yields. You'd be screwing them over big time. This is not a minor change, it'd be gargantuan. Second, how would this work, exactly? Team A has a better scrum than team B. Team A makes B collapse/go back enough to be awarded a free kick. They chose scrum. Then they do it again. Win another free kick. Collapse again. Free kick. Scrum. And again and again. No cards, no nothing? 4. Meh. Not a big issue imo. 5. I like it. Not sure how easy it is to enforce at lower levels tho. 6. Maybe, not a big thing imo. 7. I understand the point but i'm not sure that's how to tackle it. The argument is a bit along the lines of 'he ran 100 meters past 15 opponents and got rewarded with 5 points. I ran 99 and got past 16 (got past one player twice) and didn't get a single point in the scoreboard'. You have to draw a line somewhere and this is not continuos, it is discrete. On millimeter before the line will mean one thing and one millimeter past that line will mean another. 8. First, not sure i agree with the premise. Second, even if i did, i think point 1) would address quite a chunk of it. 9. Sure, no probs. 10. Nah. A few bad calls doesn't mean we dont know what a forward pass is. One other thing i find annoying is the constant changes in interpretation. I am not talking from 1980 to today. High tackles and how we treat people who go for a high ball (fair contest, etc) has changed a LOT in the last 5-8 years, sometimes going back and forth. Try it out, make up your mind, and stick to it. Rules are complex enough already. And this are not one of those things for which you could argue 'we are trying things out to make the game more dynamic' or something. [/QUOTE]
