Default Are the FA REALLY so harsh?

I know, we've been here before, but this is SO frustrating...

OK, call me picky, but if there's a controversial decision which you don't agree with, surely you should be able to say so?

You see managers on MotD being "disappointed" about decisions every week (especially Steve Bruce, who seems to do nothing BUT whinge) but, in FM, if you don't think the ref got it right the FA gestapo come down hard.

OK, you can (just about) work out whether an offside decision was right or not, but fouls and penalties are pointless to contest. The blobs don't give you any real feedback during the game, your ass man is a plank of wood in these situations and the match report doesn't help all that much.

Is there any way SI can add something into the next version to give us a clue about a decision, or can they at least calm the FM FA down a bit? And as for offsides, any complaint about a marginal decision should be let by, IMHO.

Rant over.

Managers in the Premiership are constantly getting hauled up before the FA to explain their post-match comments.

Having no interest whatsoever in disciplinary issues I've never bothered to see how the same manager gets dealt with when he makes comments on multiple occasions though.

There really ought to be an option that allows you to basically waffle on, getting the idea across that the decision was wrong, but surrounding it in so many "I don't want to slate the referee, but..." clauses that you can avoid being hauled up infront of the FA

So every time you complain about a decision, you get fined or banned......



.......yet you CONTINUE complaining about decisions?


Are you sure it's the game that's "frustrating"?

on the other hand irl managers actually see what is happening, so it would be good of si to give something to help the in-game manager out.
also wording the choices correctly might help, like when you use the option 'it was a bad decision but the ref has a tough job' (or something similar), and the media interpret that as you grudgingly saying the ref was right, where the hell did that come from??

I'm handing you an official warning for this comment as further investigation has proved proved that SI made the right decision in putting this in the game...
