Gameplay Balance: Overpowered Power Shots Feel Like Mystery Ball Boosters
Issue Overview:
Power Shots currently exhibit completely unrealistic ball velocity and trajectory arcs. Striking the ball from extreme distances yields rocket-like goals that resemble arcade modes like Mystery Ball with active boost modifiers rather than realistic football simulation.

Key Concerns:
- Unnatural Shot Speed: The speed of long-range power strikes exceeds realistic physical limits, making attempts from unreasonable zones nearly impossible to defend.
- Goalkeeper Helplessness: Despite long travel times from far out, goalkeepers routinely freeze or fail to trigger proper diving animations against these blisteringly fast attempts.
Recommended Tuning:
Apply a sensible nerf to the maximum velocity and long-distance accuracy of Power Shots, allowing goalkeepers reasonable reaction windows on strikes taken well outside the penalty box.
