Hat-trick AI? (Player Naming)

Playing as Barcelona and winning my latest game 3-0 when I get a penalty.

Down as my No 1 penalty taker is David Villa, my No 2 penalty taker is Xavi and my No 3 is Ibrahimovic.

Now Ibrahimovic has 2 of the 3 goals I've scored so far and as such this is the only reason why I can see he ended up taking the penalty to complete his hat-trick and not Villa who was on the pitch or even Xavi (also on the pitch). Is it the case that if a player is on a hat-trick then he jumps up the pecking order for pens or is it just a possible bug?

Guy on a hattrick takes the pen.

Yeah, that happens in real-life. If someone is on a hat-trick and you're set for the win anyway, let him have a chance at that match ball. It happened with Crouch the other day IRL, he wouldn't have taken that pen against Young Boys if he hadn't had scored two prior.

Yeah I get that. It's a nice touch from SI to include the feature in the game and as mentioned when it adds to the realism as it happens IRL 99% of the time.

Problem comes when its the 90th minute of the CL final, you're losing 3-2, with both of your goals coming from your CB at corners.

Whenever someone is on a hatrick they take the penalty, happens in real life too

haha, I feel your pain there! Would be gutted if that happened to me and he missed.
