Rock787 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Been wondering for quite a while now why both were removed from the game. I guess I can understand removing pushing the ref as it happens so rarely that there is no point. But players get sent off for violent conduct all the time just like Giroud yesterday against QPR. Will never forget that time I was playing as Arsenal (Wanna say CM3 but it could have been 99/00) when Dixon and Giggs took a swing at each other in the Charity Shield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think it's for legal reasons that it has been taken out of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawlore Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I believe NF is correct- they're the kinds of things that if you imply "real" people are doing them could potentially open you up to lawsuits. Similarly, it's conceivable some of the licenses SI have might have depended on not having that uglier side of the game portrayed. But I'm just guessing here.

Rock787 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 that would be cool if it happened to regens but again I guess the club the regens plays for might not like it being implied their players do that. Shame but hardly the end of the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzP Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yeah, it's the same reason no real players have 'slack' personalities for example, it's just opening SI up to a whole world of legal issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
