Blitzball matches' length

The two 5 minute segments didn't seem long enough, especially at the end when I finally had the Jecht Shot ability. It just seemed that after fighting my way through and getting into scoring position, I was luck to even get 2 shots, sometimes 3 within the 5 minutes.

In my opinion, no. the match times at 5 minutes seemed ok, I just wish they where a little longer for more scoring time.
 
Okay. In other words, the clock ticks down in Blitzball faster than real seconds.

Forget the stopping and starting, I mean the actual time we see the seconds ticking down. 2 real seconds would take up 3 Blitzball seconds approx.

Hope that makes sense. Get a stopwatch and see for yourself.
 
Yea I agree completely with Grimoire I noticed that too but only cause Sinspawn3 told me. Besides if you're far enough into the game to want Wakka's weapon you should be good enough at blitzball to score in 32 seconds.
 
The time was acceptable but, as you noted, after a handful of matches it gets to be too easy and thus, horrendously boring. What I like to do is find the worst players imaginable...and see if I can still win. I usually do, by about 3 points everytime. :(
 
they should have given us the option of picking the time length of games. i didn't get wakka's sigil or crest or whatever becuase i played 150 or so games and didn't get it. so frustrating :dry:
 
I think that would have been great, to pick the length of the match. It is a mini game though, and a very good one. A little more thought, a few more teams, and a lot more challenge and it could almost warrent a stand alone game.

Blitzball, I love it!
 
i hate blitzball....its just my opinion but its to complicated...guess i just gotta train more lol
 
i think the matches lasted too long, getting wakkas celestial weapon is by far the most time consuming in the whole game, i just got bored. I felt like it was becoming a whole new game in its own right it took me that many hours!!!!
 
Yeah...blitzball is cool the first 20 times you play it....and after that is getting kinda boring. And I wish there were more teams to play against... lately I've been able to beat the Al-Behd seriously(5-0 or something like that...not even their uber goalie can catch a Jecht shot at point blank:P). And like some people said....to choose the game lenght would be perfect...
 
Blitzball matches really are way too long. I agree that two rounds with three minutes each would be a better alternative. Not to mention, it must be really hard on the players to keep treading without any breaks for five minutes - waterpolo's pretty exhausting, so to have to do it while completely submerged seems ridiculously hard (ignoring the fact that blitzball really makes no sense, much like a gunblade).
 
I thought 2 5 minute segments was just the right amount of time at the beginning. But further into the game after I got my team all nice and trained it was just...

I just powerplayed that shit.

Half the the game were beat in about 7 minutes after I got the maximum amount of goals.
Blitzball, though. Good stuff. One of the few mini-games I like.
 
I thought anything greater than 0 seconds was too much blitzball.

XD

Seriously. I despised having to play it.
 
i think just doing the first 5 mins was enough, knowing i still had a second half to play when i was already winning did my head in. I spent half my time just passing the ball for the exp and then just make one jecht shot at close range. It just bored the socks of me in the end
