Fifa fair play

I didn't think I would enjoy writing a blog - I also didn't ever believe that there would be a need to post twice in one day......

With that said, this thread made me realise the logic behind on of EA's decisions about online gameplay....and gave me the desire to write again.....

The OP is complaining that injuries do not affect players online. I understand the school of though - injuries happen, but in the world of Online FIFA, they are never terminal, or seem to affect the player enough to warrant a substitution.

Yet, when you see his response to the mod's answer, you kind of understand where EA are heading with this descision:

Just WOW. Ok, so we all do a "naughty" tackle now and again, especially against friends - it can be funny. But this guy just wants to use injuries deliberately to disable an opponent - from the off. No thought about trying to win the game with skill - lets just KICK everyone off the park......

I can now see how EA can justify the decision for no online injuries - accidental ones would be cool, but when you have people intent of damaging your team quality, for the sake of a win and some rank points, I believe EA made the right call.

Now, Keepers not being able to get a RED CARD, thats a different matter - maybe my subject for tomorrow......
