Ser portero siempre ha sido una posición que requiere anticipación, reflejos y una capacidad única para leer las jugadas. Sin embargo, los cambios recientes en las mecánicas de control han llevado esta experiencia a niveles de frustración que no deberían existir.

Hoy en día, no solo tenemos que anticiparnos, como cualquier buen portero lo haría, sino que también debemos estar constantemente pensando en qué tipo de tiro nos harán. ¿Será un disparo raso? ¿Un tiro al ángulo? ¿Un centro peligroso? Todo esto mientras intentamos lidiar con controles que no son intuitivos y que, en lugar de facilitar la experiencia, nos complican incluso las acciones más básicas, como realizar una parada sencilla o salir a cortar un balón suelto.

A esto se suma el problema de los servidores, que muchas veces no funcionan correctamente. Las desconexiones, el lag y la falta de respuesta inmediata en los movimientos hacen que jugar como portero sea una tarea casi imposible. En una posición donde cada segundo cuenta, el mal funcionamiento de los servidores puede ser la diferencia entre una parada espectacular y un gol completamente evitable.

El rol de portero debería ser una experiencia emocionante y gratificante, no una fuente constante de frustración. Es hora de que los desarrolladores escuchen a la comunidad y trabajen en soluciones que devuelvan la diversión y la accesibilidad a esta posición fundamental en el juego.

Translation according to google translate for anyone too lazy to translate it:

Being a goalkeeper has always been a position that requires anticipation, reflexes, and a unique ability to read plays. However, recent changes in control mechanics have taken this experience to levels of frustration that shouldn't exist.

Nowadays, we not only have to anticipate, as any good goalkeeper would, but we also have to constantly think about what type of shot will be thrown at us. Will it be a low shot? A shot into the corner? A dangerous cross? All this while trying to navigate unintuitive controls that, instead of making the experience easier, complicate even the most basic actions, such as making a simple save or stepping out to block a loose ball.

Added to this is the problem of servers, which often don't work properly. Disconnections, lag, and a lack of immediate response to movements make playing as a goalkeeper a nearly impossible task. In a position where every second counts, a malfunctioning server can be the difference between a spectacular save and a completely avoidable goal.

The goalkeeper role should be an exciting and rewarding experience, not a constant source of frustration. It's time for developers to listen to the community and work on solutions that bring fun and accessibility back to this fundamental role in the game.
