johnhughthom Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 For last two penalties the game has ignored my instructions and the player no 1 on my list, who hasn't missed in two years, has let somebody else take it to get their hat-trick. Now I think this is a nice touch but we should be given a choice whether the player on a hat trick takes it, or given the opportunity after the game to tell the team the no 1 taker takes them no matter what. Sorry of this has been brought up before, sure it has, but couldn't find anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that being of merit in a game you needed to score to win, but hattricks > winning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner86 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I believe it only does this at a point in the game where you are fairly safe. For example if you were 3-2 down it wouldn't do it, but if you were 3 or 4 up it will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Just did it when I was 2-1 up in a local derby, I wouldn't call that safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner86 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Maybe I'm wrong then. I've never had it happen in a game that tight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevio11 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I ad 2 pens in a game once and 2 different players took them and the game was not safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Taylor Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 If a player is on 2 goals and his team gets a penalty, the majority of the time he'll take it. It's the same irl, so it's good it's in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uusinjsh Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Why can't we have a question box ''Allow player X take penalty instead of Y. [Yes] [No]'' !? I just made a comeback from 0:2 to 2:2, my full-back scored twice, then we get a penalty in 88th minute.. Jeezz nooo don't let my damn full-back take the penalty instead of my star regen noooo.. In off the post.. Pheeww.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineOne Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Why can't we have a question box ''Allow player X take penalty instead of Y. [Yes] [No]'' .. Because whether the manager likes it or not, when the game is started, it's the players choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhughthom Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Was it Rednapp who was a bit annoyed when someone else took a penalty recently? Or Steve Bruce? One of the two I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhughthom Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Did he score? Nope, we won 4-1 and he got his hat-trick anyway though, it also clinched the league title, hence my annoyance at my instructions being ignored. The thing is my regular penalty taker hasn't missed in three seasons, he's scored twelve, the hat-trick guy scored, one missed one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
