bermybhoy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think everyone who's played the game for a while would know there's inconsistencies between the events shown by the match engine, and that suggested by the match commentary. I thought it would maybe be useful to highlight some of them here, especially as a few might be rare or obscure. I'll kick off with a situation I just saw: opposition goalkeeper punts ball long, my GK coming to collect, misses, their striker (who'd been chasing) nips in behind him and knocks home on the goal line (slightly selfishly denying their GK a goal, I might add). And the commentater said? "[Opp GK] showed incredible craft and vision to make that goal". Did he really? I'm sure there's countless more... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 This one is quite well known... 2D graphics: Winger chases ball heading for the opposition goal line. Tries to cross. Slices it into the crowd. Commentary: "Player XXX clears it into row Z. He's taking no chances there." Amusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snugglecakes Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've noticed that on very rare occasions the commentary mixes up the player who has fouled with the player who has been fouled. Never seen it mentioned on here though, so maybe it might've been covered had I restarted my game after 8.02. Not really a problem at all though, just an X and Y mix-up in the commentary line. For instance "Free kick to Liverpool...Ronaldo was brought down by Torres.....yellow card for Ronaldo" for an event in which Torres was the player fouled against.

DarthInsinuate Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I can't remember the exact line, but there's one which doesn't begin with a capital letter. It really bothers me. There's a few typos here and there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ Walrus Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 If we're thinking about yesteryear can we have the ARSE command back? Always fun watching players horrendous bans for head butting players / refs. (Only happened occasionally.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
man u 4 lyf Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Originally posted by backpackant:Commentary: "Player XXX clears it into row Z. He's taking no chances there." Often see this straight after the ball bounces off the ground, a player tries to catch up with the ball and it goes out of play. Must have been a pretty big bounce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroq Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Two of my defenders were passing the ball between each other. Carelessly. The oppo. striker nipped in, stole it, and was off to the races. The commentary read "XYZ breaks the offside trap..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen players head butt others on this version, I recently had a player banned for 7 games for head butting a player... But I've not seen it happen to a ref for a while!! I really miss it, it was so funny and shocking when it happened, I remember a few years ago I was playing as Leeds and Alan Smith punched the referee, He got a 3 month ban.

It's to do with obstruction. if Torres got the freekick for being obstructd by Ronaldo, the commentary states "Torres was clearly obstructing Ronaldo".

crafty bison Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 A common one is after a goal is scored, the players celebrate vaguely near a corner of the pitch (well within the markings) while the commentator tells us "The stewards struggle to hold them back!"

csusmatt Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Im always curious when i get that random "He is you know..." from the commentary box. I also love it when the ball trickles out of bounds and it says that "XYZ put that one into row Z" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerardpique Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 not a line of commentary but i love when it happens & it tends to only happen in derby matches/ semi fnals or finals. Ater you score a goal the whole team runs full pelt past "you" in your dugout and all start going buck mad in the opposition technical area! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroq Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I'm particularly fond of "So-and-so brings the ball forward.." .. describing one of my defenders knocking the ball backwards across the end line with a clumsy first touch, and therefore conceding a corner.

csusmatt Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 i had one today where my winger was trying to bring the ball down near the corner(i guess) and headed it over the far end line for a goal kick and it said "Legear clears the danger, he's taking no chances there" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
