Would you play this game?

If a new exciting form of soccer was introduced would you play it?

How exactly would it be new and exciting you ask?

Simple really:

Create an indoor arena with 6 3D-cubed cages [made of a timber frame and metal] 15M long * 9M wide * 4M high with astro-turf grass pitches.

Its designed to be played by 6 people, 3 per team.
The goals are only 1M wide * 0.5M high.
The football used is a skills football, smaller than the normal footballs used.
Players can only score in the oppostions half of the pitch, and games would have 25 minute halves.
It creates a fast paced and furios game.

What do people think of this idea?
Would you play this?

Better than my idea for full contact golf anyway.

Sort of a cross between hurling, golf, rugby and Brazilian ju-jitsu.

Liven it up a bit.

It was a Nike advert yeah...but would you play it?

thesto · 23-10-2009 4:07pm

so is it just like normal astro except with a smaller pitch, ball and goal?

Mossin · 23-10-2009 4:08pm

No, its completely encaged.
With metal cages surrounding you.

Is that not just futsal with a cage all around, instead of a low wall? Pretty sure the idea is at least simialar.

thesto · 23-10-2009 4:11pm

aye, like the cages in UCD?

Sounds a bit like that nike joga bonito tournament that was around a few years ago.
That was great fun

Overflow · 23-10-2009 4:12pm

what about making it a full contact sport.

laoisforliam · 23-10-2009 4:12pm

5 for the players to rest in and the other cage for the lion that will be released during the match.

Futsal is 5-a-side, not 3-a-side, and the pitches are a lot bigger than the ones proposed here!

To allow more than 1 game at a time!

Is it on XBox 360 or just Playstation 3? Cause if it's only on Playstation I can't play it cause I only have an XBox.
