Fouls In FIFA 14

This is why I don't feel that they do it on purpose.

I've never bought the argument that EA wants to give everyone an open game, so they limit fouls. The same crowd that only wants an open game is also the crowd who want to score crazy free kicks.

I think they could fix it, but they don't because it's not high on their list. I don't think they intentionally leave it to create a certain game, though.

Who doesn't enjoy getting fouled and taking free kicks? This years game reminds me of buying a Bentley just to put spinners for wheels.. Beautiful game just fix the fouls it's not that hard EA..

Next ear tey need to add a player attribute called discipline.

The lack of fouls is my biggest gripe with this game. Rarely do I have games where the CPU gets a card of any sort, much let multiple cards. More fouls would make the game even more realistic and would give players the opportunity to test their free kick skills.

yeah, there are barely any fouls/free kicks in the game. what is most annoying to me is that the fouls that are called, i barely touch the player or don't even touch the player at all! then, i get my legs taken out from under me and nothing is called. it doesn't make any sense.

I have started drawing a ton more fouls recently. I have started rarely using sprint or even the right stick. I am making more moves by just slightly moving the left stick to keep the ball at my feet and the CPU comes in a lot harder.

I have also noticed the normal speed produces a significant more number of fouls than slow in case anyone is playing on slow.

In no way by saying this do I think fouls are close to correct in FIFA. Was more just throwing out experience if people wanted a way to try and draw some fouls.

On the human side I need to get a lot more composure because I get ham fisted inside my box and am giving up far too many penalties by just flat out running over the striker. Steven Taylor and Coloccini are becoming masters at leveling opposing strikers illegally.

Is it me or are there a ton more offsides penalties this year? Could be the overall skill of my club (lech Poznan).

What the developers need to realize is fouls can change a gameof soccer. If a player gets an early yellow, he needs to change how he plays or else might get sent off later. So that 1 foul changes the game since he now has to worry about being sent off (which also changes the game).

Also in soccer a foul could stop a counter-attack or be used for rest, its a vital part of the game.

Who doesnt like seeing free-kicks scored?? Another exciting part to soccer.

This needs to be addressed and no more psycic defenders.
