And to become the first footballing sim to implement the laser technology for offsides. Never have I seen a player EVER get away with being offside. The fact that there's always at least 2+ disallowed offside goals reflect on how badly the technology is needed IRL.

Trying to sneak behind the defenders when your teammate is taking a shot? FREEZE, DON'T MOVE. YOU'RE CAUGHT OFFSIDE. Despite the fact that you were never involved with the play and the ball bounced to someone else to tap in. This game puts real life linesmen to shame. I can see mass layoffs in the next few years, they shall all be replaced by robots.

except for all the times where it says that it looked offside and you are asked to comment on a controversial goal, which happens probably once every four games

"except for all the times where it says that it looked offside and you are asked to comment on a controversial goal, which happens probably once every four games"

my opinion exactly

Wouldn't be so bad, except most of the time the player is either a) at no point goalside of the defender, and they thing he's offside.

b) clearly 10 yards onside

c) behind the player that passed the ball to him.

Offsides are awful in FM08- far too many players pulled back when they are quite obviously on.

Bugs forum any of you?

i don't think the refs get it right everytime do they?
i know the ball went out for a throw in right near the corner flag and it was flagged as a corner in one of my games. first time i've seen it but it went in my favour.
i even replayed it in extra slow motion.
