As I touched on the other day, I just thought I would put down my views on Red cards and keepers.

In FIFA 09, it is impossible to have your Goalkeeper sent off. I have seen Yellow cards, which should have been red. I have seen yellow cards, followed by a Second bookable offence, sometimes RED card's in their own right, yet the keeper just gets a quiet chat and no early bath.

FIFA 09 is the most realistic football simulation to date. I can understand not having a dive button:

I cant understand the leniancy on Keepers though. You have the choice of taking 7 subs to the game. All teams have reserve keepers. If you choose not to take a Keeper with you, then you run the risk of having an outfield player in goal in the event of a Keeper howler.

If the argument from EA is one of outfield players in goal, fine - make it compulsory to have 1 keeper sub.

In real life, keepers make mistakes ( some are plain dirty ) and they get the consequences. As it stands, your keeper will only get a chat and a yellow, meaning it's only the Red MIST that descends, not the Red Card that is raised.......

    I have been trying to get this over for a bit of time now. It is a must that you can round the goalkeeper in 2010 and a must that if he fouls you he gets sent off, then then your oponent should be able to make a sub instantly.

    i have had a keeper sent off. you need to turn so your back is facing the keeper so effectively its a tackle from behind. it seems that you cant get a sent off without doing a dodgy slide from behind.

    I think this is a must yes, but when you really think about it from a development perspective I think it would be quite difficult to do. Yes when you get rushed by the keeper in the game he more or less always gets the ball in his hands, but for the game to decide whether or not it was a foul would probably be the hard bit. Its only normally only after a couple of replays in real life that you can truly tell if it was actually a foul or not so programming this makes me think it could be difficult.

    If they implemented it and decisions were wrong half the time then the consequences are fairly dire and the forum would be full of people moaning. So i think if they implement it, it would have to be correct at least 80% of the time which could simulate referee errors anyway.

    I have never seen a keeper get a yellow OR red card before.
