Keepers option
Following the Dev-blog on core gameplay, I'd like to add a few ideas.
Why not change the goalkeeper's tackle button to a downward dive button? He would keep his animation when sliding forward.
But as soon as he wants to jump to the sides, he would dive downward faster than with the basic dive button.
A new forward tackle animation when the goalkeeper sprints to prevent him from losing possession (see GIF).
A jump that uses extra effort would be an "extra dive" that uses all of that extra effort (see GIF).
- You can't catch the ball, only deflect it.
- After the extra dive, it takes a few seconds to get up.
