Feed Me Haxball

Suppose Haxball had official attributes to a player, and you could level up somehow,
then these are the most important attributes I think should be in haxball:

General Attributes:

• Finishing
• Double Shots/Rocket Shots/Tiger Shots (make up your mind)
• Passing
• Technique/First Touch
• Pushing/Blocking
• Lifting
• Feinting
• Sweeping
• Bouncing
• Positioning (Marking/Off The Ball) (especially for a GK -playing 4 in attack- and a ST -messing about with the DM-)
• Anticipation
• Creativity
• Composure

Goalkeeping Attributes

• One on ones/twos/threes
• Reflexes
• Rushing Out

Any positive thoughts?

What's sweeping?

A sideway lift (instead of a vertical one), so I thought

haxball is a simple game complicated by idiots

I'm just a bored haxball philosopher who spreads knowledge about the details and beauty of the game. Calling people, who 'complicate haxball', idiots, is just another way of saying you are not open-minded to anything new, therefore you are just one of those conservative persons who would totally fit in an idiocracy.

Stable internet connection, the ability to consistently kick the ball where you want to kick it and teamwork

The rest is just for aesthetics

internet connection is actually one of the most legit attributes - ever seen a top tier haxballer with shit internet?

internet connection and decision making, everyone is contributed to decision making and anything that isn't (drags/freezes/spikes) is due to your internet connection.

/fred

these could be simplified a bit tbh

Double Shots/Rocket Shots/Tiger Shots
Technique/First Touch
Lifting
Feinting
Sweeping
Bouncing

^ these skills for all those overlap a lot, they could probably just be re-ordered as 'ball contol' and 'wall skills' or somethin like that, since those are more distinct

Pushing/Blocking
Positioning (Marking/Off The Ball) (especially for a GK -playing 4 in attack- and a ST -messing about with the DM-)
Anticipation
Rushing Out

^ could be re-ordered as Defensive and Offensive positioning; blocking is basically just a subset of positioning as you don't really have to be any more than 'in the way' to block, rushing out is just defensive positioning for goalkeepers

probably just merge the goalkeeping attributes to 'saves', I reckon all the other attributes cover everything else.

Though hard really to draw the line between observed characteristics of players and inherent characteristics, someone who doesn't understand the game very well might notice a lot of things going on and assume each requires a different skill, whereas in reality it may just be a handful of different 'attributes' a person can have governing lots of different observed skills.

Seeing who's the best at and why, in any game or sport will always be an intriguing question, and I'm sure people like you will think about what the answer will be (and disagree with other philosophers like you) until the end of time (not haxball though, that will be dead by 2017 at best RIP, but for other games that people will move onto, and shit like football nd cricket...)
