Bagzinho Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hello, Since the patch, my goalkeeper has been yellow-carded twice in four games for handball outside the area. Before the patch, nothing in a season and a half. Quite willing to accept that it's the law of averages (as he is rubbish!), but is anyone else noticing this? B.

GoalieManPat121 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have noticed this as well although not with my keeper. Ive had the opposition keeper play the ball outside the box 2-3 times so far the half season Im into. I dont think it has anything to do with the patch since it was doing it before it was patched. I cant remember it happening really ever in the time Ive been playing FM. Basically the play is the keeper comes out to smother a through ball. He picks it up at the edge of the box but the pickup animation then puts him outside the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkermush Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It sounds like the chance of keeper's being booked, has been increased. I remember reading a thread where people were saying they never see any keeper's get booked, so it look's like SI have looked into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tat501 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Seen this twice since patch...one red card (for opposition goalkeeper!) and one yellow card for my keeper when he did it! Playing llm though so the standard of goalkeeping isnt great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis-Kid Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 A developer at SI was obviously watching the keeper in the Ireland v Armenia game.. And for people who cite Cox's handball in the build up the sub keeper who came on also handled the ball outside the area shortly after coming on and was left off BTW.

Genesis-Kid Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It might also have something to do with the "Sweeper Keeper" feature which features in FM12 that wasn't really in previous games to the same extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
