Goal celebrations

At the minute, when a player scores they just stand around for a few seconds and then play resumes. it would be betterif they crouded round each other and if its an important game or a late winner them and the manager all getting involved.

simple thing but which I know some people won't like but i think it could work.

I disagree with what you said about the players just standing around! On the 2D ME they very often run over to the corner flag and gather round in a group, it will be interesting to see that in 3D although I would imagine there is a limited number of different celebrations as there is in games such as PES or FIFA.

Don't worry. In FM09 there will be this badass celebration in which the goalscorer slide on one of his legs until the half of the pitch.

Im sure in the screenshots they have just been running with there hands up in the air

whs. It would be cool if they included some crazy african style celebration when they dance round their shirts (Senegal at 2002 world cup against France)

loool ...rock style

Backflips in 2D would be great

I had a player that I critised in the press score and come running to my dugout in a match once. The commentary line said something like Player x hits back at is manager.

I vaguely remember seeing my goalkeeper run the length of the pitch to celebrate after scoring a last-minute winner.

The weirdest goal I've ever scored was my keeper launching a drop-kick downfield which bounced over the oppo keeper into the net, and he got so excited he ran to the opposite end to slide at the corner flag. Funniest thing I've ever seen on FM.

It would be good to see different celebrations for players renowned for it, such as Obafemi Martins' backflips:P

I generally agree however I hope for now that SI dedicated all their time to the match and not to what happens when the ball is out of play.

That's been fixed. Check the latest videos in the sticky at the top of the forum.

It was funny though! Imagine if real players just glided around on 1 leg after scoring in real life hehe

Yeah i had that happen aswell. I agree with the idea about the african dances in the game i think it would make the world cup much better to watch.

These goal celebrations may be 'cosmetic' but they are still real life aren't they so get 'em in SI.

it's not, my theory is that he just sent his artifical leg along with the ball in the back of the net, hence the one leg celebration! That actually looks slightly ridiculous on the video.

sorry did not see your post until i posted mine...

I've always wondered if the celebration by the goal scorer and his teammates told you anything about their relationship. Sometimes the goal scorer is crowded around by other players but some seem to celebrate by themselves or run over to the crowd by themselves. thought that maybe it had something to do with player popularity.

any thoughts?

Seen something like that recently; I said one of my ST's was below-par and after he scored he run to the dugout and the commentary said "Player X is out to prove his manager wrong!"

Did he have a crazy expression on his face?
