bc1sjw Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Newcastle 0, Man City 2 (SWP - 2). We win a pen, Tevez and Balotelli my first choice takers are on the pitch, think I have about 5 nominated players, bound to be others who were on the pitch. SWP isn't one of my takers (8 rating). He steps up and I scream at the monitor for Tevez to take it. He absolutely burries it, sends the keeper the wrong way. WTF? How did this happen? Surely Tevez/Mario didn't politely let him have the chance of a hat trick, surely they are too greedy? But seriously, why would he be taking it ahead of them?

No it doesn't... I've seen it with critical penalties - though I don't have an example offhand as I usually just eyeroll and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_numbers Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 OK. On one of the previous FM's it was meant to only be non-important penalites. It's either broken or changed for FM11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a new feature on FM11. I can't remember penatlies being given to the guy on a hat trick before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc1sjw Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 I was chuffed for him to get a hat trick as he had a blinder (9.7) of a game, he just tore through them the whole game as if they were staionary. But there was still a half hour to go and my heart started going mental when I saw him stepping up......if he missed I wouldnt have been too pleased......surely you nominate takers for a reason.....

BigCisHere Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Yeah, this happens all the time with FM11 now. One of my CDs had scored 2 goals in a match, which we then won a penalty in, and he stepped up and slammed the ball home as though he had been doing it his whole life in order to complete his hattrick. I will never forgive Stevan Jovetic missing his penalty for his hattrick goal though. I don't recall if we won that game or not, I just remember him blasting it high and wide. Which was met with threats from me about how would he like me to kick him so he could follow the ball into Row Z. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sunderland/8277854.stm Exactly. The manager can say what he likes before a game, but on the pitch, players can make their own decisions sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I prefer it when this happens because anyone I manually choose to take penalties will miss the majority of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Before the penalty is taken, the game should stop and the manager be given the option to not allow the player going for the hat trick to take the penalty and to go with his normal taker..

Yeah, and if you read the article the manager in question was furious about it and specifically stated it "won't happen again". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 There should just be a tick box on the penalty takers screen if you want a two goal player to take a hat trick penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormenDK Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 There should just be a tick box on the penalty takers screen if you want a two goal player to take a hat trick penalty. Good idea ... but controversial and ambitious players might still override that sometimes, when they feel they deserve that hattrick. Then you can deal with it afterwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
