Fox Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 That was a push though, and a fair punishment he got too. Would of been different if he would of knocked him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grff Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yeah the rules are just a copy of the real life rules. As far as I remember, violent incidents involving players was never designed to be in the game as SI feared legal action if a real life player was involved.

Not against referees but against players I remember that, but I think they are still there, sort of - I had a concussion training injury that was described as being 'the result of an altercation' - or words to that effect - which implies a training session fight.

DivineOne Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 5 hours ago, Verby said: What FM was it where there were headbutts? Not against referees but against players It was back in the time with CM. You had to put the "Arse" command in though. You could have fights on the pitch, players punching other players, players punching the referee, ... Back then it was also regens only. Wish they put it back in. But I'm sure now they don't want to be controversial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy8chimp Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 don't really see how there is any more legal threat than my players getting a rating of below 5. Why can't they sue for that? Players in real life to bite, punch, kick, stamp, shove etc. used to be part of the game in CM pre 2000 I don't remember having to use the Arse command.. it was just part of the game. If a player can sue because there is a chance in the game that they might kick someone... why can't they sue if there is a chance they play a 1/10 rating? Or two footed tackles? Why are there no keeper red cards! A whole world of mystery surrounds the explanations from SI as to why these things do not happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 SI have been quite categoric in their many regular answers about this: Due to the legal advice they have received, this type of incident will not be represented in the game, regardless of whether it reflects real life or not.

westy8chimp Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 'due to legal advice' comes under the category ... we don't want to do this because of 'something'. It's disappointing because the game really lacks individuality of the players. There is no difference between someone like Costa and Giroud in the game but a world of difference in real life. All the things that make Costa one of the most exciting and best players in the Premier league do not exist in FM. If you can't ask a player to play to the limits of the laws (thereby sometimes crossing the line), then every FM save goes the same way ... signing players mostly based on stats, not on who they are as players. we should have TI/PI 'wind opponents up', 'dive in box', 'rough up on set plays'... and as a result of these instructions.. yes occasionally it should bubble up and either go too far and be booked yourself, or elicit a response from the opponent. if there are legal ramifications, SI should give us an option when using fake players only.

ChelseaSince86 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Couldn't you also complain about a referee in the old CM's? Around 00-01 time. I am positive, although im going back some years, one of my players had something called a Global Ban on that game, for something outlandish like headbutting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas I'd love playing Cm 98 for 30 seasons because every now and again you would get a weird/rare/exciting occurance happened... that if watsapp had existed at the time you'd probably send your mates a screen shot. Now there is nothing like that. As stated before; I've seen Davids retire in his prime due to injury, I've seen players 'global ban' for 9 months for hitting a referee, 12 matches for headbutt and I've seen brawls result in 4 instant reds.. all in pre-FM. so did a case actually go to court where a player sued championship manager for this? not according to my google searches.... So where does this 'legal advice' come from? I think a PPM may exist for wind up opponents ... but what tangible effect does it have if SI have restricted the wound up opponents from being able to retaliate.

Arse-covering corporate lawyers probably - that's normally where this kind of timidity comes from. Someone will have done a risk assessment - decided SI (or Sega) would face huge reputational damage if a player or club attempted to take action (regardless of whether they actually had a case or won) and hugely overestimated, or ignored, the probability of it actually happening. But better safe than sorry .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
