extra time

[sabres32]

every game so far ive gotten 5 minutes of added time at both halftime and at the end of the game. is this a glitch or something?

Re: extra time

No. The extra/injury time is added in not only in FIFA but is in real life in order to make up for any stoppages in the game, hence making up about 90 minutes of full play.

Re: extra time

I know what extra time is. im saying every game ive played theres always 5 minutes of it. I know it varies in time but EVERY game ive played theres 5 mins of added time. I just don't get why its always 5. why not 2, 3....it cant always be 5 lol

Re: extra time

Well I saw you post a topic saying you get a lot of fouls and cards, that may explain it.

While I also see quite a few of my games having 5 minutes of extra time added, there are definitely cases when there is 3 or 4 minutes of extra time in some of my games. I'd say that 75% of my games have 5 minutes of extra time and 25% of the time it's something less than 5 minutes.

This is pretty much spot on in my experiences too. A little more variety in extra time needs to be implemented.

This should be included in the FIFA 16 Wish List thread.

Re: extra time

The game caps at 5 mins max, which I get MOST of the time. I do very occasionally get 4 or even rarely 3 mins, but its almost always 5. The reason for this is we don't play full time halves and therefore have an accelerated clock. For a simple throw in watch how much game clock runs off in the 30 seconds it takes to restart.

Re: extra time

I play 15 minute halves. Always get 5 minutes of extra time. Its not a HUGE deal but in 1 goal games, its a disadvantage to the winning team come extra time. 5 minutes of extra time is plenty of time to tie or win the game. It be nice to have a variety.


Also, I have a question real quick that is off topic. During friendly play a player of mine got a red card but wasn't suspended for my next friendly match. Do players not get suspended in friendly play for red cards?

Since it wasn't in a competition such as a league, or domestic cup, nope.

Re: extra time

i always get this as well, it's a pain in the hoop. very rarely do i get 3 or 4 mins added on.

IRL a substitution or a goal adds 30 seconds on to a game, as far as i'm aware, not all subs always get used and not all games are 10 goal thrillers. EA needs to sort this out.

if you're winning 5-0 why should there be any time added on regardless of the above, the ref should just get the game over with.

in response to the last question, you don't get suspended for Friendly games

Re: extra time

I've come to accept that more often than not it is 5 minutes of injury time every game. What I would like to see is a second clock ticking down the seconds left in injury time like it does in real life. I don't know how many times I've been involved in games and the AI is playing keep away to wind the clock out. I eventually do win the ball back and the whistle goes for full time as soon as I have a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Re: extra time

Its frustrating. I have yet another question that is off this topic...sorry I'm sort of new to soccer, I understand the rules and I know many players and teams but I don't get the contracts and transfer side of things.




I have a season going and I'm Crew Alexandra. Every player except 1 player on my original roster had a $750 a week wage. I brought in a new player via transfer and his fee is $4,000 a week. Did I overpay? $4,000 a week was his demand.

is he your new best player? that is a high wage, but depending on who it is and their potential, it may turn out to be a bargain

Re: extra time

I believe getting the 5 minutes of extra time is based off of how much you watch the cut scenes. If you watch say the setup to a free kick or watch the animations to setting up for a corner then I usually get the 5 minutes. If you skip through these you'll see less time of extra time added.

Re: extra time

The AI tying the game in added time is getting old. There's nothing I can do to defend against it. Any minute' chance, and it's a goal.
