Suggestion: New "you're about to be tackled!" quick chat option

[azure whale]

In my experience, teammates will very often run the ball into the enemy half of the pitch, then immediately get tackled. Obviously they should pass to a teammate before that happens, but they clearly don't feel the need to. I find the lack of passing makes the game borderline unplayable, and I'm not sure what the fix is, but maybe this will help.

I think asking them to pass (pressing R3) doesn't work because it's like you're asking them to do a favour for you, so instead a "look out!" reframes it like you're doing a favour for them, and might help encourage passing.

I would also suggest this new quick chat option replaces the "thanks!" option, as I rarely see it used, and I feel like "we got this!" is a close enough response if someone wants to thank their teammates for a "good job!".

will be interested to hear people's thoughts!

yeah nice

We gotta keep "thanks" because when people ironically "good job" you, then "thanks" is your only real come back to it. Having said that, maybe just add a tutorial for how to use the minimap and that will fix the problem. But no amount of warning people will fix stupidity. I play on a team and even warning players and calling for a pass to keeper 5 minutes before they get tackled seems to do nothing.

To be honest I struggle to use the minimap because I have to look away from the action to use it, but I can still usually tell when I'm about to be tackled, it's not too hard to keep track of people, especially in 3v3

Also not sure a sarcastic "good job" needs a comeback, continuing the bickering just makes morale worse I think

also like you say there is just no fix for stupidity, but maybe people on the margins can be swayed by a "man on" or "look out"
