Re: How can you help GDC make this game better?

G12 needs two penalty levels. I can understand a 50 point penalty if a robot picks up an opponents ball, but contact with the ball that is marginal should be a smaller penalty.

Here's a case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsyx0QmpPlk#t=138. Watch the action near the far blue inbounder zone at the 2:24 point. The ball bounces off the red defender while the defender was trying to play robot defense against a blue robot. The result was a 50 point penalty that turned a 34 point win into a 16 point loss.
