Nani17legend Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Whats happened to players on a hat-trick taking penalties? I just had Rooney having already scored 2 goals needing 1 more to become top scorer in the Euros and then Lampard walks up to take the penalty.

Guest Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 WHS^^ I wasn't aware that SI had removed the 'player on a hattrick must take penalty' code, if they have then I am glad to see it done. That being said the above example may indicate that they've gone too far the other way as I would expect a natural penalty taker like Rooney to still step forward to get his hattrick. Poor old SI, they can't win either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThE BoMBeR Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I don't think it is removed... This just happened to me and I was going to open a new thread but i saw this... I'm playing with Juventus against Brescia which were down to 10 men after 23 minutes. I was winning 7-0 and I got a penalty... At this point Alexis Sanches had scored 2, Pastore has scored 2 and Aguero has scored 1. Now my penalty takers spots are always filled, with Aguero being 1st, Cavani 2nd (who was playing but did not score) and pastore 3rd. And to my surprise Sanchez went to take the penalty (ability 12!!!)... and of course he missed.... Since the penalty takers were filled, why did the game ignore them? Anyone knows this?

Ryknow Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I think it might re-coded. When in a commanding lead the penalty taker can be the player on the hat-trick, but when the game is tight or an important match then it might revert to normal. I can confirm that I had one of my players on a hat-trick step up when he wasn't a first choice taker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 could this not have been left alone, i sort of liked it when vidic came up and scored a penalty for his hat trick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker2 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Much like with the pop-up you get when a player gets a green injury icon, it'd be good if there was one that you could click to set a hat-trick chasing player as your penalty taker. Or just a tick box in team settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzar Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Definitely depends now. I was playing West Ham, was about 4 or 5-0 up (Stubhaug is a terrible keeper!), and David Luiz stepped up when I got a penna. He'd scored 2 goals and is nowhere near the regular list of takers.

Seftinho Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is there a way to turn it off? 2-2 in a massive promotion six pointer, we're piling on the pressure and rewarded with a last minute penalty. But instead of my 17 Pennos, 16 Composure striker (who has scored all 9 penalties since joining) taking it, up steps my 6 Penalties, 9 Composure winger on a hat-trick. He duly misses, they go down the other end and we lose 2-3. Thanks SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
