Too many yellow cards?

There seems to be like 8+ yellow cards every game with the new patch.

I was just playing Wigan at home as Man Utd and there was about 10 yellows and 1 red card, and imo this is a a little unrealstic

I find it hard to believe that a game between Utd and Wigan would result in that many cards.

Anybody else notice this?

Don't agree with this. The amount of yellow cards varies each match for me, some matches there are 1-2, some there are 5-6.

No issue.

i get the same problem i have had about 7 cards in each of my last 4 games totally unrealistic

I've not seen as many yellows as the OP has, but saying that i'm tinkering 'Tackling' on match days according to how strict the ref is.

I agree a little because my player has had a 5 yellow card ban but he is a dirty bugger so I can't really put my finger on it..

Have to agree in my the 7 matches that I was in charge my team was given 5 red cards and 5+ yellow cards a game. Amazingly the AI teams were getting 7+ yellow cards a game on average. because I was having so many players suspended and going down to ten men I only had 1 point from 7 games . Its not as if my players were agressive or had bad decisions and my tackling was set to normal. I cannot understand it. Every game someone was off. Striker, midfielder, defender, keeper it didnt matter. Got so annoyed I resigned and deleted the game. I'm pretty gutted because I had a good team for my league and spent a few hours setting them up. really hoping it doesnt happen again as it was certainly a bug!

as i was really noticing this i went through every game of the season, all teams not just mine, and tallied the cards up. Over 1 season, an average of 9.3 yellows and 0.8 reds per game. Seems very high for me, my team got 49 yellows and 8 reds during the season, tackling set to normal or easy all season.

SI are looking at it in the bugs forum i believe.

I'm not experiencing this at all, neither competitive matches not friendlies. I had two yellows against celtic, but it all looks normal to me.

I'm 10 games into La Liga season. I compared my in game results with those IRL, and they are pretty similar.

Never mind too many yellows, how about far too many straight reds ? Anyone else getting loads ?

Ironically, the AI tend to get loads of yellows and reds against me

Actually went through a 4 match stretch with each AI team having a player sent-off (1 even had 2)

Though I think my players are dirty buggers since alot of AI cards are usually preceded with "Surely <player> dived there" lol

Meant ot say that the AI is getting as many straight reds as me, just seems unrealistic when 80% of matches I play have less than 22 men on the pitch at the final whistle

I've had 5 reds in 3 games now. A little bit over the top, no?

like i said in my post, the league has averaged just under 10 yellows and 1 red a game, not just my team but the entire league, definitely something going on

Just played opening game of season 3, Rangers v Dundee Utd. 3 straight reds, 2 y+y=R and 6 other single yellows. Something is definately not right

too many reds and yellows and players cant keep fit!

Maybe it is attributing closing down level to kicking legs?
