    very excited, although it turns out I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be. I'll need to get back in shape
    I can not score with that damnedable darigan ball though, why does that exist!?

    You are now a member of Maraqua's team.
    A Team Background has been added to your Inventory.

    :) I went with my gut feeling while deciding between KI or Maraqua. Something told me to pick Maraqua so I did.

    I've been a member of MI for the past several AC's, but it seems we always come in so far behind. I'm thinking of KI but didn't they win last year? If they did - then they likely won't win again this year.

    I'm torn between my loyalty to MI and wanting to be in the playoffs.

    Maybe I'll hold off for a couple of days and think about it - it's only practice right now anyway.

    the game feels quite different since the last time I played it though. It used to be that the teammate with the ball was the one that was being used, but now you accidentally hover over someone and you just lost a point right there

    Ive always had the problem.
    There was a little trick I found out last year that would make it impossible for them to get the ball.. you just had to face the right wall or corner after scoring a few points. lol
    Came in handy--just had to sit there and match a movie waiting for the match to end.

    how does scoring work anyway, do you get more points for getting more goals? that's what I would assume, but if winning is the only thing that matters that's a good thing to know

    Goals are important!

    Obviously win is the main goal..

    But points scores minus points against = score for team.

    I think thats how it works?

    That may be how it works for team score...but I think wins are the only thing that matters for personal score and rank and stuff

    ah, well I guess I'll be doing a lot of scoring anyway then, because I'm going to get Meridell to that podium

    KRELUDOR!

    It sucks that some of the members were swapped out but I stay loyal to my team. xD I will stay with them till they win. And then I'll prolly switch over to Moltara because the players are so cool! :maha:

    The points that you send in for your team are based on the differential of goals. So, if you score 8 goals and you allow 4 goals - only 4 points would go to the team - where if you score 8 goals and only allow 2 goals - 6 points would go to the team, and so on.

    You get a bonus for shutouts too - but not towards the team - it's like 50 nps.

    But - they also judge in each category - so it's not just Yooyuball - but the other games which count towards the team. If I'm not mistaken - I think the points are whole points (1 differential = 1 point) for Yooyuball - but less for the other games
