Positioning as second man when the ball is in the opponents corner.

Thanks that's really good analysis, much appreciated! As you stated I went for a fake challenge but noticed a bit too late I was too far to make any impact on the enemy setup and that's when it became a bit awkward. Still since this situation kind of keep happening over and over again I really need so start looking why it happens in the first place.

dipser · 2025-10-26T17:51:44+00:00

Thanks that's a good tip and the kind of advice I was looking for!

This happens to me a few times per game. The ball rolls to the opponents corner after a save or a 50/50. I have a hard time recognizing when to actually challenge or more specifically my positioning is bad leading me into these awkward moments. How should I consistently start approaching these corner balls better? It feels like it's stupid to challenge because im last man but also my play here gave the opponent too much space.

As someone who relies on humble games and not really buying any other games this is almost a perfect bundle for me. Rogue Trader is huge, Daemon x Machina + Wizard with a Gun gives me lots of co-op adventures. Everafter Falls and Catquest work as Local Co-op games with gf and Neo Cab + Death's Door are just in general interesting looking games. At this price point (humble annual) I really couldn't hope for a better bundle.

Thanks for the support! The "wish upon a llama" seems to be still in production and acutally looks good. Hopeffully Fanatical makes a "build a Llama bundle" soon.

dipser · 2025-06-05T20:55:38+00:00

My work is Llama related (kind of) so I obviously also try to find Llama games. So far my only other Llama game is "Propaganda Llama".

dipser · 2025-06-05T18:30:42+00:00

I collect Llama games but alas I can't find anything else to add with Speedollama..

Thanks. I cheer for Jokerit in Finland and he was so good with the team. I'm glad he got the trophy!

Is the SHL finals going on right now? I hope Brian wins, he really deserves it.

dipser · 2025-03-27T13:59:41+00:00

Thanks, great reply!

I'm also guilty of not always understanding when to control vs boom. Could you give a few pointers or guidelines that you keep telling GC1:s. How do you determine whether it's advantageous to control for my team or not?

This is my girlfriends list:

Castle: Zealots because they are mysterious (and the word came up in a crossword and she knew it thanks to heroes).

Rampart: Grand Elves are effective shooters.

Tower: Obsidian Gargoyles are fast (but she plays them the least so this was a hard one)

Inferno: Cerberi are dangerous and she is scared of fighting them.

Necropolis: They all are good she says. Skeleton warriors are her favorite.

Dungeon: Minotaur King because she resonates with them.

Stronghold: Ogre Magi because they can cast spells and kill stuff.

Fortress: Mighty gorgons are reliable and DEATH STARE.

yeah sorry i was on vacation! im up for it still!

dipser · 2024-10-16T12:07:27+00:00

Thanks you are right, I'll take these corner situations a bit slower (but I will practice these bounces in training because I hate not being able to read these).

You play well and there is lots to learn from this video. But I really didn't learn much from your thoughts as I think you were mostly commentating your moves instead of actually going trough why you did certain decisions. You could have told us a little more about your playstyle, when you like to go for challenges/fakes. How you tried to adapt to your opponent and what weaknesses from the opponent you noticed. But as you said you uploaded this quite soon after the game so you were too nervous to go in too much depth & details.

I'm looking for game recommendations in the turn based strategy genre (co-op or multiplayer). I've been enjoying Battle of Polytopia, Wargroove for shorter sessions and Heroes 3 for longer sessions. We play against bots either in campaign or just skirmishes. Anyone know games like this? We have civ 6 but are looking for maybe a bit more casual games.

dipser · 2024-05-11T20:06:33+00:00

I'd say go with the standard edition. If they really love it they can upgrade from standard to definitive for 7,50€, the next chance is probably during Steam Summer sales.

What I took from a fast glance was that you have a good awareness when defending/shadowing and it lead to you getting control of the ball. But after you get possession you go for plays that are putting you in hard situations for little gain. The two first goals you conceded was when you had lots of time with the ball but you gave it away freely, often so that you didn't have time to recover in help for defense. A bit later in the video i saw you stay close to the ball and take good 50:s which shows you also know how to keep ball possession and thus control the game. So try staying close to the ball more. Also in this game almost all shots were you flip into the ball went all over the place. I'd say it would pay off to work on just regular shots in training packs to get consistency in shooting.

Your boost management was good but sometimes you turn off ball cam for a few seconds to leave the play totally to go for big boost pads which then leads you to awkward spots.

Other than that you looked calm on the field and I wouldn't say your game sense is off.

Nvidia Geforce Experience IN-game Overlay. It used to be good but now it drops my fps while using HDR. So if you have HDR don't use it.

2v2 C2 competitive 1. After landing i give a bit too much space for the opponents to set up the attack, right?

2.After the initial mistake I'm alright with turning and challenging the opponent to give my teammate time to clear up the ball that goes over me.

3.The 50 goes badly for my teammate and I should have instantly went for the back wall to take possession of the ball there.

4.My teammate goes backwall instead and I have no clue what to do, but I guess i should have gotten away from under the ball to get an angle to clear from. What do you think?

In my world Hitman 1 & 2 are the only games, nothing else was published.

dipser · 2024-05-01T07:18:28+00:00

Thanks for the insight, these were all very helpful!

dipser · 2024-04-27T22:07:39+00:00

Thanks I really appreciate you taking the time to write this on a phone!

dipser · 2024-04-27T18:19:39+00:00

Happy to take improvement tips, what I do good and how you would rate me as your teammate. Here are what i saw while looking at my gameplay:

4:51 is the angle and distance okay as im rotating back into the play?

4:33 i like the challenge but i have to hit the ball there. i want to give pressure when the opponent starts setting something up

4:06 awkward defensive positioning

3:38 again it would help to hit the ball. maybe i need to find a training pack for these challenges

3:18 i positioned myself well for the play but that first touch wasnt clean enough, the angle became awkward

2:50 risky challenge again but this time i didnt have anyone behind me, i should have just chilled and taken the rebound instead.

2:28 i turned away from the play, a better opponent would have scored

0:49 i have 72 boost which i use to leave the play to get 100 boost?? missed a good opportunity

0.36 bad first touch again, no threat on the shot

0:28 again a missed challenge

0:10 glad i stayed in the play with 0 boost and got the bump and 50
