1.2 Patch Update

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

You must have fail physics if you consider my idea the "most retarded thing you heard"

Useing your body motion, you gain momentum which is then transfered to the object you are releaseing from your body. This energy could not be gained by simply standing and throwing. Yes, you could still throw far but you could gain an extra meter or 2 by useing your body. Since, in a game, you can't really simulate that, the jump could also be used.

If this were true we would see every NFL Quarterback jumping in the air like a buffoon before he made a long bomb pass.
Have you EVER seen an NFL quarterback....or any quarterback for that matter....or any major league outfielder too, jump into the air to get that "extra meter or 2"?

Your reasoning is sound enough, with the transfer of momentum theory, but in actuality you would lose distance becasue your FEET ARE NOT SET. In order to obtain the maximum throwing distance you must plant your feet and have a steady base. If you would like a physics explanation than consider the torque that is being applied to your body during the mechanics of throwing anything a far distance. if you are in the air the torque created by the motionwould either spin you (if you have more of a side-arm throw) or send you back to the ground in a hurry (if you have the throwing mechanics of Joe Montana or any "mechanically sound" NFL quarterback.

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

Actually Steve is right,

If you want to throw an object (like say, a javelin) you transfer more energy to the object by getting a running start and then using your entire body to release the object. (when have you ever seen a javelin thrower win by standing still and throwing the damm thing lol)

I may be reading your post wrong but from what you're saying, standing still and having a solid stance allows you to throw farther than if you ran and then released.. If that is your argument, you are wayyyy off my friend.
Now Jumping and running or jumping and releasing in the real world won't do you diddly squat but we're talking about a game here and in this game I think Steve is saying that jumping seems to give you a bit more distance when you throw...... and I think he's right.


- An object at rest tends to stay at rest
An obect in motion tends to stay in motion at a constant speed in a straight line unless an external unbalanced force acts on it.

- When an object experiences a force it accelerates in the direction of that force

- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Apply these laws of physics and there you have your answer.

ugh, i hate it when people try to be smart and apply laws of the real world with the video game! but whatever, cause youre still right:p

ME too!!!!! I just couldn't resist though

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

Running and being in the air are two different things. Think of it this way: The reason one can throw a object further while having his feet on the ground vs. being in the air is because the ground reduces recoil. A simple way of putting it, but the analogy is sound. A person can generate more power and force in his arms/upper body if he is pushing on the ground. Just like throwing a punch.

One can throw an object (generate more force) with both feet on the ground, and/or running. Jumping on the other hand, is counter productive.

Your first post and you say the new patch will be out Tuesday without showing any confirming sources.

And you expect people to believe you?

This has been done so many times, why do you even bother?

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

its most likely coming out next week, on the 24th because the german ea site had something about euro force and the 24th.

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

believe it............

i talked to my server company and they said that they are to install the patch on the servers tuesday(unless they change it)

This sounds more likely.

Re: 1.2 Patch Update

no the euro pack was always to have come out 10 days after the patch did
