Make match score go down for bad plays

4 votes

Add a score penalty for bad plays to penalise bad plays that harm the rest of the team. I feel like everybody has had the same experience where somebody repeatedly holds the ball, refuses to pass, and either loses it to a defender or shoots it straight at the keeper. Or better yet, they try to make a solo run as keeper and immediately concede. And then, after spending the whole game preventing anybody else on the team from even trying to contribute, while actively passing the advantage to the opposing team, said player gets MVP (because nobody else on their team even got to touch the ball), and is therefore encouraged to play the same way again the next game.

Making these plays subtract from your score would de-incentivise playing like this, and highlight to these players that they are actively costing their team the game. Good plays to subtract points for:
- Own goals (very high)
- Conceding after leaving the box as keeper (very high)
- Getting tackled (low)
- Getting tackled without passing (medium)
- Passing the ball far away from your teammates (medium)
- Passing a ball that gets intercepted (low)
- Making a shot that gets blocked (medium)
- Not taking a shot at an open goal (high)

This would immediately curb the annoying "solo player" playstyle that infuriates almost everybody who plays this game.
