Amaroq Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Player sliding at the touchline or byline to keep the ball in play with an uncontrolled touch rather than conceding a throw/kick. Two players injured by colliding with each other in pursuit of a 50-50 ball. Two players injured by knocking heads in pursuit of an aerial ball. Commentary indicating what part of the player's body is injured. Commentary describing a poor first touch. Commentary indicating that a player fell down. (Visible in 2-D pitch, but not mentioned.) Goalkeeper handling in the box after a controlled backpass from a teammate. Player signalling for a sub due to tremendous fatigue. Player with an orange injury trying to play, but having to give up in the first half. Controvery about whether a players' injury is serious enough to keep him off the national team or not.

TheKingKopite Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I thought it might interesting to ask people what things happen in real life football that they've never seen in their game. I imagine there's probably heaps, seeing as SI can't incorporate absolutely everything. So, if possible, let's try and keep it to things that you might expect to be in the game, but that you've never witnessed.In my game, now three-and-a-half in-game seasons old, I've never once seen one of my goalkeepers get booked, sent-off, or injured in a match. Or any of the goalkeepers I've come against. It does happen .. my goalkeeper was sent off and conceded a penalty. Unfortunatly I used up all three of my subs and had to put Daniel Agger in goal and lost summut like 5 - 1 Lol..!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue79 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I've never had my own goalkeeper sent off but have seen an opposing keeper shown red after my CF streaked into the box to be wiped out. I get fed up with the number of penalties given against me when players are jostling in the box and the ball is nowhere near them. I remember on older versions I had games called off due to weather but not on 08. Would add to the realism of managing lower league clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I woudl liek to see Ground Share pitches suffer and be mentioned in the media such as Wigan and Reading who share with Rugby clubs and whos pitches by feb/march are near on unplayable! Our pitch is half synthetic, it's fine. We had a match called off once because the pitch was waterlogged, but that was because it had been raining for about a week. Anyway: Penalties being retaken because the keeper came off his line. Penalties retaken because the taker staggered or something. Corners going straight in. Defenders being sent off for handball- I've seen bookings, but not reds. Managers being sent off- difficult to do, maybe just for regen managers? Staff walking around in their technical area. Ball people around the pitch, rather than the ball just floating back to the keeper. A right winger hitting the ball to the left of the full back, then running around the other way, going off the pitch in the process. And vice versa. Overhit corners. There aren't enough overhead kicks- there seems to be one every 300 matches or so but in reality it's one in twenty or less. They don't have to be scored. Strikers receiving the ball on the chest, and then doing an Adebayor-esque turn and volley into the top corner. At lower levels this could be scuffed a lot.
