It's only taken 12 years..


Recommended Posts

There are no outraged players. Like losing it and punch someone in the face, swearing to the referee etc.

It is rare IRL, but happens. It is non-existent in FM.

Isn't that because SI want to "only focus on the positive aspects of modern day football"?

I've seen a lot of red cards to players smashing their elbows in opponents head. Then there are also the two footed tackle and the professional foul. But they are not that violent off course.

Edit: To OP - I don't think I've seen a red card for deliberate handball at all in FM11

Nope!

It's not just you.

I believe they got rid of that to avoid getting sued.

Why again? Sports interactive is against this stuff they want introduce them into a game...

I don't understand what you're saying.

I'd certainly welcome the "arse command" back. :D

Absolutely, even if it works with regens only.

I remember fm99 (or maybe 00) where i just had signed Edgar Davids for ManU. His first match he spit on the ref and was banned for i think 6 months :D. (i'm not kidding, the commentator-thingy actually said "Davids spits on the referee!" "Davids has been sent off!"

Never saw that ever happen again, or something like that :(.

I can understand violence not happening in-game due to SI wanting to protect their legal arse, but handballs? There definitely is far too few deliberate handballs in the match engine.

How unrealistic is it though?

I cannot remember many Sunderland players being sent off for deliberate handball in the past 10 or so seasons. Any stats on how many times someone was sent off for this last season in the EPL?

@ AcidBurn: we all remember Luis Suarez though, do we? Quarter Final World Cup ;)

lol, I can only really remember Suarez and didn't SCholes do it against Zenit in the Euro Super Cup a couple of years a go?

Legal issues. Allowing the representation of real life people to take part in nasty deeds would be an action potentially suable under defamation laws in the UK. It does leave them open to potential big money losses.

I remember back in the day when you'd see players sent off for violent conduct. It always seemed to happen during throw-ins that a player would just randomly kick-out at another player and get sent off. In fact I remember I once subbed a player on and the first thing he did was kick an opponent and get sent off :lol:

I had one 'keeper sent off for handball outside the area in FM10, after playing about 40 seasons.

Never seen it in FM, or in fact 'keepers being sent off at all. They never even concede penalties, which is pretty ridiculous.

But at least it means I can always pick 7 outfield players for my bench, safe in the knowledge that a sub GK is worthless.

right. I'm alt-tabbed out of a match (we're 3-1 up, and there's only 15 minutes left) and reading this thread, thinking about how I've never seen some one sent off for handball. I go back to the game to find that Andy Carroll has been sent off for punching the ball into the back of the net from a corner. I'm blaming you lot...

If we complain about this though - the first bug on FM12 will be "Too many players getting sent off for deliberate handball, it's SOO unrealistic!"

Unless for once they find the right balance BEFORE release.... :-s

Actually, any player being sent off for Deliberate Handball is unrealistic:

"A player, substitute or substituted player is dismissed from the field of play and shown the red card if he/she commits any of the following offences:

  • Serious foul play
  • Violent conduct
  • Use of abusive language and/or gestures
  • Spitting at an opponent or any other person
  • Denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper inside his/her own penalty area)
  • Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick
  • Receiving a second caution (yellow card) in the same match"

Unless OP meant DOGSO with hand?

If newgens can be "Unsporting" and "Temperamental" why can't they get red cards for diving, elbowing/kicking/punching an opponent, arguing with the ref etc etc?

I still maintain SI's fear of lawsuits sounds a bit silly (then why aren't they afraid of players suing as well over some traits/attributes they don't like... or over them getting low CA or Reputation, or over a couple of missed shots/passes/tackles/saves...) but if that's the way they want it, at least give us realism once the oh-so-precious real life players are retired...

Seriously, if Balotelli isn't suing SI over his in-game low professionalism/workrate etc (which are accounts of his REAL persona), why should he sue over fictional events in a simulated game?

Back OT... the lack of red card for handballs is a non-issue if compared to the lack of red cards to keepers for professional foul/striker dive... ;)

Muzzy Izzet did it for Leicester in 03/04 against Brum I think.

The arse command?

Many game versions ago one could open a certain file in notepad, type in "ARSE" and save the file. Then players within the game would occasionally make obscene gestures to crowd or headbutt other players. Would be quite awesome to see something along those lines happen in 3d view. :lol:

The only 'big' handball on the line I've seen in the last two years were Lee Cattermole (not being sent off...) and Luis Suarez. But, I'm refreshed that this topic has picked up on the bigger issues of Goalkeeper red cards/injuries and player violence.

Last season, only Jussi Jaskelainen got sent off in the EPL. The season before, Petr Cech and one other.

So 1-2 per season is sensible, which gives about a 1 in 8 chance of it happening in a match concerning you. But the amount of people who have seen it is not many at all. GK injuries certainly happen more often...

Yup. Going off 5 EPL seasons, I think (unless I've missed someone), there have been 7 GK Red cards. Which is 1.4 per season. 20 teams in the league, 1.4 red cards, you have a 1.4/20 chance of it being you. However, you then have to factor in the chance of it happening to an opponent, in the same match, which is the same chance (you play 38 matches, and have a 1.4/20 chance, therefore the addition of the probabilities of it occuring to your opponents during a match with you is 1.4/20), which is equivalent to 2.8/20 chance per season of a GK red card in a match involving you. Call that 3/20, which is 0.15 1/8 is 0.125, so approximately equal. So every 7.5-8 seasons or so, you should, by statistics, see a GK red card in a match you are involved in.

Another thing that bugs me is advantages - I often see adavantages forgone in FM, or at least, if advantage is played, no mention of it.

I imagine the researchers are liable for player ratings. Providing accountability that doesn't lie with them ultimately, much like EA use a third party for their stats provided in FIFA.
