Dakota_Faith Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Because he was 'in bounds' because he was within the field of play albeit outside of the zone but still in bounds, whilst the ball was inside the end zone. Read the damn official rule book. It specifically states 'whilst you are in bounds' You are not in bounds if you jump from outside the end zone, through the end zone and then land outside of the end zone. You are out of bounds. honey are you from europe or something? or some country that doesnt get to watch a lot of football? im from alabama originally and went to school there and we take our football real serious I can promise you and would bet my life on it that if we had a running back that could jump in the air 31 feet .. and he dove over the lineman at the goaline and went 30 feet through the air past the endzone it was a score before he ever made it to the back of the endzone It is a SCORE AS SOON AS THE BALL CROSSES THE PLANE ... you cant seem to grasp that can you please stop making yourslef look bad just a a sidenote .. theoretically "in bounds" as you like to keep calling it extends to infnity from the field upwards which encompasses the AIR if you had possesion when you left the ground but what do I know my daddy was a high school football coach that won 3 state titles and coached for 24 years ... i couldnt possibly know that stuff /wink Edited January 21, 2012 by Dakota_Faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadNewzzz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sounds very strange and must be a bug, if the ball is over the goalline it should of course be a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota_Faith Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 @OP - I am not sure what exactly you are trying to say, perhaps a larger font size or some bright colors to make it stand out would help. ill help you out for the slower amongst us the score should count as he crosses plane of goalline .... the player should die when he reaches the insta death field very simple right?

I laughed so hard at this post I had to call my wife in to read it. What's even more funny is that he's probably all ready responded with some off the wall horse crap.

Talkative Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Actually you have to either knock down the pylon (NFL) or land with both feet or the ball inside the endzone for it to count. If you made contact with the ground outside the endzone with your knee or hand or back it was not a touchdown. I played Strong Safety in college and rabbitpunching a dude in the calf so he dropped his knee before crossing the line was pretty standard stuff. But more to the point Huttball doesn't have an endzone, per se, but a goal stripe. If you somehow made it to the other side (see being pulled there) without stepping into the stripe it wouldn't count. Which makes it more similar to Aussie rules.

serovan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) If someone can grapple you up over the goal and get an insta kill on you, that in of itself is broken. No player should be able to abuse the mechanics of a respawn point. If this grows in popularity it will break huttball for good until its fixed. Just make the pull a goal and its fixed. Or make sure the BH is pushed off the ledge when the spawn door closes. Edited January 22, 2012 by Paralassa content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasphemerr Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 This thread seems like an overreaction. If a player has full resolve, Grapple does nothing. Infrequently, grappling a player up to the spawn-ledge will not kill the player, and then he will score--very easily. Attentive players see dudes up there, and react accordingly.

So in the instance of the runner he's already in control of the ball, whereas a receiver catching the ball isnt until he lands, if he lands out of bounds, no score. *EDIT* CRAP, is this no the NFL forums? im in the wrong place! xD Edited January 21, 2012 by Smoky_the_Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hilarious that some guys who have probably never watched an American Football game are trying to pretend to be authorities on the subject. It's like an analogy that represents the current state of affairs in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW HARD IS IT TO COMPREHEND THIS ??? really are you a troll here it is in RED The touchdown is scored the instant the ball crosses the plane of the goal line—that is, any part of the ball is in the space on, above, or across the goal line—while in possession of a player whose team is trying to score in that end zone. The play is dead and the touchdown scores the moment the ball crosses the goal line in possession of a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played at Auburn where did you play? Northeastern. Never said I was particularly good. If the runner breaks the plane with the ball, then yes it counts. Unless their knee/back/hand is in contact with the ground outside of the endzone before the ball crosses the plane. How do you not know this Mr. Auburn?

Skeptical Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 This issue needs to be fixed or at least addressed. Yeah it does. American Football rule arguments aside, it's a broken mechanic when someone can use a class's ability to pull an enemy into their spawn point and one shot KO them. It doesn't get much more broken than that. "But it says cheating is encouraged." That's flavor for the Warzone not a sanction to use any exploit you can find.

GothicSaint Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's an accepted legitimate tactic. The GMs themselves have said so. There is a thread on this already. LOL.I Smell BS.
