A youtube video seems to show a handball being penalised

It will cause frustration, you'll feel robbed if you lose a penalty to a handball since it is pretty much out of your control. It adds realism but I'm wondering how often they will be given, are there ball to hand cases that won't count? I guess we'll see.

Glen955378d ago

I totally agree.

IF it's totally random, it'll just become a pointless hinderance... :|

prabx5378d ago

well in the video it looks like the ball struck the ribs area =| ?!

Raitei5378d ago

looks like arm to me, i don't know how you would explain the FK otherwise.

I don't think this will eb random, but when the ball hits someones hand in 09, i get a bit annoyed, because that really shouldn't be allowed

N4GAddict5378d ago

I'm all for it if it doesn't happen too much in the game.

InfectedDK5378d ago

It is great for sure!
There will always be irritating moments no matter what..
It is also irritating that you don't score a goal because a defender hits the ball with his hand.

sandip7875378d ago

im sure ive seen handballs given in 09. or is that just me?

heroicjanitor5378d ago

Unless you are using some sort of pc mod, there weren't any in the console versions though.

sandip7875378d ago

what about in PES 2009? have i confused the 2?

YoungJuvi5378d ago

I thought the same thing too.

DiffusionE5378d ago (Edited 5378d ago )

I've seen them a couple of times before in 09. But I guess it was just a beta work incorporated in the game by EA. Very very rare indeed. Maybe they had plans to introduce it in 2010 back then.

EDIT - What level is that guy playing on? Amateur? Anyway, I don''t see any handballs, at least not with that horrible quality footage(somebody needs to fire the cam-geek).

iceman065377d ago

I HAVE had hand balls in FIFA 09!!! It is pretty rare...but it HAS happened. I was annoying...but also it was FAIR! That's football...futbol...soccer!(de pending on where you live)

I remember pro 6 had handballs. They were annoying. Used to happen to frequently. Hope the handball system ain't nothing like that.

Videogame Virgin: Assassin’s Creed III, FIFA and bathrobes

Editor’s note: In this bi-weekly feature, Pixelitis staffer Matt Brown shares his “down the rabbit hole” look into gaming history. Having admittedly missed what many consider “classics,” join him as he dives in head first. We ask that you just be gentle with him.)

"Going down the list in Steve Bowden’s 100 Computer Games to Play Before You Die, I was supposed to write something about Defender this week but I decided not to. Just doesn’t feel right. Not for this week, not for right now at least.

I want to talk about something bigger, I guess. I want to talk about how, in times like these, gaming is valuable and vital. So I’m gonna do that instead."

Football games: Worth every penny or a total con?

TGC writes: There are those that like to argue whether you are a Fifa gamer or a Pro Evolution Soccer gamer. I’m going to take it one step further and say your either a football gamer or a non football gamer. The fact of the matter is a new game comes out every year with possibly the slightest difference from the previous game and they release it onto the shelves in quantities thinking that they’ve made something new and improved. I really think they should hold a prize for anyone who can spot the difference between FIFA 09 and FIFA10 because I’m really struggling.

I use to buy every sports game I was interested in madden,MLB,nba and wwe along few others and I remember buying playing for few days than thinking why I paid full price for this. Than one year about 4 years ago I said no more and I have never bought another sports game at launch sometimes I do buy me when they $20 on craiglist of sale but that's barely

IMO sports games don't do enough to justify a fully price and that's just my opinion

If 2k can sell nfl 2k5 for $19.99 and make a profit than why are games today with less content are selling for full 60? No wonder why EA ran to nfl and bought the exclusive rights

FIFA
Nfl
Nba
MLB
Wwe
NHL
Etc,

Sports games shuld be every 2 years and in between dlc and more updates and stuff like tournaments

berndogskate4300d ago

If people are willing to buy them then whats the problem? i think its cod or mw123 you should be talking about, the new pes and fifa look good this year.

Sports games tend to bore me, but I'm very fond of Tony Hawk, Skate, NBA Street V2 and some WWE games (if you count it as sport... sports entertainment... whatever).
