Fouls are nonexistent again

[ReturnoftheTmac]

Against the CPU in CM I see MAYBE 1-3 fouls a game playing on 20 min halves. Whether I SIM some of the match or play etc. there’s just no way to get fouls as usual. Hopefully this will finally get looked at in a patch but I’m doubtful cuz of the online crowd. I think our best bet is a slider that actually works, but we won’t see that this year.

It’s worse than ever, despite it being raised an an issue for years. I find it hard to foul the CPU too.

Yeah it’s like what’s the point of having this new beautiful free kick system when you never even get to use it. Quite ridiculous in all honesty. We’ve been asking for more fouls or at least a fouls slider for at least ten years now.

If FUT players wanted fouls it would be a done deal, day one.

It's hard to recreate fouls in an video game. IMO it's one of the hardest things to have a realistic amount of fouls.

Re: Fouls are nonexistent again

I drew 3 fouls before the 25 min mark my last game played.

A lot of people who complain (not saying this like a jerk) about fouls also spam sprint. I’m not saying this is what you’re doing, I’m not saying fifa is perfect, but maybe try to alter how you’re playing.

If you’re using agile dribbling, or even a low star skill move, sprint on the change of direction and you’ll usually draw a yellow off a poor slide tackle.

When you receive a pass if you shield the ball when the defender breaks on you, continue to progress up the field / let the play develop and you’ll draw a foul and possibly a yellow if he takes you down.

Hope this helps y’all draw some fouls, games really fun when you start getting free kicks outside the box.

Also I stream usually after work on eF5ive on twitch 😅.

What’s your basis for this?

I’m fed up of people making excuses for £A for every single issue. It’s not hard, you code the players to fall under certain contact and code the referees to blow for it. I don’t think anyone here wants a FK during every passage of play but it should atleast be in double figures.

Liked this because it’s good advice but I play to draw fouls and hardly get them. I regularly have my shirt pulled on 22 but the referee gives nothing. I’m struggling to foul the CPU too, despite trying.

Sometimes you gotta carry that shielding for a while. I wish the refs were more aggressive with calling the fouls too. They’ll give advantage quite a bit, keep it up and the cpu should drop you.

Once you get above world class it’s harder because the boost the cpu gets to base stats, they’re just so damn strong.

I do find agile dribbling and a quick single sprint out once you change direction is great for drawing yellow or reds. I’ve got quite a bit of penalty kicks making a move into the box this year.

Have you played FUT? Fouls are a thing in FUT. This is an issue specific to the CPU play. Online people play with more aggression and risk, so there's fouls. The CPU unfortunately just plays without enough risk and aggression.

And FUT players have been asking for years that we have more consistent refs, and that hasn't happened. Lots to blame FUT for but this isn't one of them.

It's just crazy hard to program.

Re: Fouls are nonexistent again

I've noticed that when you or the cpu tries to tackle someone the player somewhat morphs around the tackle preventing a possible foul. By design?

Re: Fouls are nonexistent again

I had one match this weekend where I whipped the CPU out from behind, and there was no fouls called.

How hard could it be for EA to add a foul slider!

It would instantly become my favorite slider ever

Re: Fouls are nonexistent again

Wasn't there mods for FIFA 21 that edited the locale.ini file that made the CPU more aggressive, I think there was a pain mod on this forum and didn't FIFER make one?

I bet it is an easy edit and would love to know how to do it myself.

Even then fouls still weren't as prevalent as they should have been. And there was a locale profile that made the CPU more aggressive, but it just caused excessive slide tackles and bookings that were just unrealistic. It was more of a 0/1 value rather than a slider.

Re: Fouls are nonexistent again

I get fouled and I get that “press L2 and R2” prompt to stop play. I press it and it never works. I’ve tried taping it. Holding it. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any help? I’d appreciate it.
