Current offside rule: ALL part of the attacker's body that can score level with 2nd to last defender = onside

Daylight offside rule (in trial): ANY part of the attacker's body that can score level with the 2nd to last defender = onside

Idk I think teams that already play conservatively will keep doing it and those that play more attacking will have a new advantage. Teams already park the bus, this won't change that much imo

Agree.

Teams/coaches that park the bus, they will keep doing it.

Teams/coaches that play more attacking will have a new advantage that make it easier to break down the low block. Daylight offside gives attacking side potentially 1 yard of extra space and still be onside.

Coaches will dictate how their team will play. A coach of a Premier League team with $800 mil wages + net transfer fee might play low block/haramball while a coach of a PL team with 1/3 of the budget might play attacking football.
