For me, keepers can make the game a lot more fun. I think that bigger goals or a smaller field (fewer players?) would make it more fun, though.
My aesthetics have to do with scoring strategy: positioning yourself, etc.
The offside rule could go both ways. If you didn't have it, teams might play even more defensively than now. So I'm not sure that it would promote more goals.
I'd also like to see the clock stopping when the ball is not in play.
The reason teams play so defensively nowadays is because going on offense is risky. One solution would be to make goals scored in counter-attacks only count for half. One could also make goals' values depend on the ball's distance, speed, etc. Such scoring would make draws less likely.
