Mike7077 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.

Nomis07 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I've never seen a penalty go over, if the player misses it is always to the elft or right, but never over the bar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm not sure overhead kicks ever go in. Players are rarely sent off for dissent. The lack of injuries/cards for keepers is the main thing tho'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 I've only ever seen Carlos Tevez score an overhead kick. Incidentally, has anyone else noticed that there seem to be a lot of overhead kicks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFromTheSouth Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm not sure overhead kicks ever go in. I've scored a fair few. Strangley though, they seem to happen when the ball is coming towards the goal from around the midfield that they're turned in with an overhead kick, as apposed to from a cross from the wing. Have seen keepers sent off, but I'd like to see them getting sent off for handling the ball outside the area. Also never seen a game postponed due to weather (would give a reason for stadiums to have a roof). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzing_hornet Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Pitch invasions aren't such a bad shout Mike, wouldn't be that hard to implement, all that would be needed is for a load of blobs in various colours (although mainly the team who are going up etc) and some orange blobs to represent some stewards frantically trying to get opposition players off the pitch. Would be a nice cosmetic feature if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
