Pre-Seasons

[Rupal]

I just had a pre-season 'friendly' where there were 5 injuries (3 to my side, 2 to the opposition) and a total of 7 yellow cards. Now I have watched my fair share of real-life friendly matches and I've certainly never seen anything remotely like this. In practice, refs normally don't give cards in friendlies and, in general, I'm pretty sure that injuries are rarer than in competitive matches because managers want their players to generally ease up on the tackling, etc, in order to AVOID injuries in non-competitive games.

For a game which prides itself on its realism, this doesn't seem to be too clever, really:rolleyes: !
