LiquidFury Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 How common does it happen in your games? To either you or your opponent. Here is a quick analysis of my first 5 games Wrexham 2-0 Alfreton Drew Broughton, Levi Mackin OFF Andrew Giallombardo INJ (90+3, after all subs made) Alfreton finish with 8 men --- Wrexham 0-0 Mansfield Jonathon Worthington OFF Mansfield finish with 10 men --- Wrexham 2-1 Southport Stephen Tomassen, OFF Kasper De Fries, INJ (77, after all subs made) Wrexham finish with 9 men --- Wrexham 2-1 Luton Jake Speight INJ (25) Both sides finish with 11 men, but another injury occured --- Wrexham 1-0 Telford Sean Newton, Ryan Valentine OFF (T) Dean Keats INJ (64) (W) Telford finish with 9 men. Wrexham finish with 11, but yet another injury I've just found this very bizaare. My tactics aren't particularly aggresive, and neither are my training schedules. I wouldn't class it as a bug per say, more so a collection of consecutive coincidences. Anybody else reporting anything similar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMYK Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 You're probably tackling hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Nope, 1 red card in 17 games for me. Injuries seem normal, although my striker has an ankle made out of balsa wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Saw your first example. IRL not half an hour ago Alfreton finished their match with 2 red cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathenmcvittie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I notice a lot of injures and red cards too, but then again I holiday a lot of games. I believe it's built into FM to give out more cards and injuries when you holiday as a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidFury Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 You're probably tackling hard. It's precisely because of sendings off that I don't employ hard tackling. And I prefer my players to stand on their feet. And, as you can see, the majority of the red cards are for the opposition; I only have 1. Saw your first example. IRL not half an hour ago Alfreton finished their match with 2 red cards I'm not disputing the fact that it does happen, I'm just displaying an interesting sequence where both sides finish with 11 men only once in 5 matches. Given that the game doesn't 'remember' the last game you had a player sent off, and simulates each game independantly from each other (I believe so), it's possible to have a man sent off in each game. But it's still unusual to see. The injuries are just annoying. Wrexham start off with a thin squad and 4 key players on the physio's table as it is.

MShing Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I have noticed a lot of injuries in my game too. Only had 1 sending off so far though. Like in fm11 when you make 3 subs you always seem to get an injury forcing you to play with 10 men Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMYK Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's weird, you're probably experiencing a bug or something. I'm 20+ games in and I haven't experienced a red card yet, but during a Champions League game, the opposite team got a red card at 00:24. I do tend to substitute my yellow carded players though, especially if it's a defender (since I sometimes employ hard tackling). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathenmcvittie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'm sure I've heard my reasoning before. 8/10 games I holiday I get an injury, or someone gets a red card. It was like that in FM10, FM11 and now FM12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I played 1 season with hard tackling and only got 4 yellow and 0 red cards. also only had 1 major injurie and 3 minor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I envy you, sir. A thin squad of 22 with no money to improve, and I have 8 injuries. Maybe the opposition are all using hard tackling... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUTactician247 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Just finished a season where I had just one red card and even that was in the last minute of the match for a second yellow, I've never finished with less than 11 men due to injury either.

LiquidFury Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've played 10 games more since starting this thread, and thrice there have been games where a team has finished with 10 men or less. That makes 7 times in 15 games. It's just really unusual. 4 of my players have been injured in matches since the first post too. 2 of those were in my last game, where after having to sub an injury in the 70th minute, I had another injury befall a player in the last 5 minutes. The opposition have received a large amount of yellows, too. Luckily I'm still winning (1st in Conf. at present), but it's still quite annoying. Sure Conference football is a bit more 'Stoke-esque' than League Football, but not by this much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DietSpam Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Was happening to me. I got rid of Carlos Diogo who was very hot headed, and i think this was spreading through the team. Not had a red card since. Find out if you have a ill-disciplined player, and bin him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not had a red card since. Find out if you have a ill-disciplined player, and bin him. Thing is though, it's the opposition that are the hot-tempered ones. They're getting sent off and injuring my players. Not much I can do about that, I don't think.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
