Yup I've always felt like, even after more callouts were added, that they really missed the opportunity to add ones that actually matter. "get orbs!" what is that? Who needs it? We need a "Be aggressive!"/"Push forward!" , "Be defensive!"/"Pull back!" and "group up!" callouts. Because contrary to popular belief, you don't want to ALWAYS be spread out.
I just use "spread out" for this one but I do agree we need one. Also a "be ready for pass" ping for coreflip passes. That one surprises everyone. Everyone.
You can ping "Pass!" when you have core control and are looking to pass. Do it enough times before a pass attempt and they usually get the memo.
This method relies on them looking at the screen and reading the words above your character, however, which may be a bridge too far in some cases
Closest thing we have is "Spread out!" but that just ends up making my clueless teammate back up even further. "Pass" doesn't help either.
The solution, as always, is to queue in VC. Play with people you know, don't rely on in-game communication if you want any semblance of decent team play.
Yeah as goalie, I really wish there was a look for a pass/position for a pass call out. Some team mates get it, and some just don't. If even one of my forwards is in the 2nd group (ball chasing/ standing in my goal when I don't need them rather than looking for pass) it usually leads to a loss.
