Add a Timer to Prevent Time Wasting
I’d like to suggest adding a timer for attackers or players holding the ball to prevent time wasting{ like NBA} . Some players keep possession for too long just to delay the match and its very boring to dealing with , and a timer could encourage faster play and make matches more fair.

BexI think a LOT of this problem stems from the GK invulnerability rules. The fact that you always have that safety net allows teams to keep the ball in their half safely, with no punishment.
When the backpass timer was shorter, it forced teams to be proactive after a posession change, now you can just cover the entire pitch before your GK has to get rid of the ball. -

TIO MAFIA MergedIt's not fair that a team, just because they're winning, holds onto the ball to prevent the other team from beating them. They camp you in an incredible way. Implement a rule that prevents them from holding onto the ball for so long, like the ball gets hot after a certain amount of time, or a penalty like a penalty kick.

Ømperor MergedA shotclock to prevent teams from playing time for 3 minutes after a lead.
30s. Shotclock that only ticks down while the team is up and in their own half and have it only reset once a goal is scored.
If the shotclock is completely run to 0 the other team gets posession.
That way you don't ruin the game while it's in a neutral state and playing keepaway is still an option having it be the dominant factor teams win with after having an early lead -

Ramco MergedExclusive to the 3v3 mode, this new feature mirrors basketball's 24-second violation. If the offensive team fails to score or register a shot attempt, and instead solely focuses on stalling, the ball will automatically be turned over to the opponent.
