Even in CM?

Yeah, how can one select a so-called "strict" referee?

I agree, Krebstar. It's incredibly disheartening. I actually tend to get calls made against me quite a bit, but the CPU hacks the %$#@ out of me with no calls.

sometimes i wonder if im playing a different game. i usually get a yellow card on the cpu every game as well as a couple fouls. i dont take alot of chances on defense so i see a yellow card maybe every third game, most games are 3-4 fouls on me. mostly from aerial collisions.

i know thats still not a realistic number but i find it pretty consistant. im sure if i played longer halves it would be more realistic.

I know in "Kick Off" for sure you can choose your referee in the settings, and it shows their level of strictness on the bottom of the screen. Which usually helps. When you see someone tumble over from a collision, it'll usually be called.

I didn't think you could do it in CM, but I will check.

EDIT: As expected, you can not change the referee in career mode.

There may be a secret to getting fouled and my suspicion is that it has to do with dribbling and using special moves.

I almost *never* use dribbling moves. If my attacking player has no space, I pass the ball.

Perhaps if I tried to do a rainbow into a blanco ronaldo chop reverse stepover FATALITY, I'd get fouled more often.

You do have to use moves. Normally that results in contact that gets called. I have also been able to get plenty of fouls and cards off of shirt tugs and takedowns from behind. Normally I get out front by using the RS to knock on and run it down and they grab me in pursuit. All that said, the RS is a fundamental part of the game. Like it or lump it.....

I don't use "special" dribble moves often, but even using basic ones (ie just changing directions with the LS) will get the CPU to foul me. I'm not having much trouble with that aspect of the game. Yeah, some fouls that should be called aren't, but I find it's pretty even in both directions, and not a CPU cheating aspect.

It stands to reason that if you pass before the defender closes on you that you won't get fouled very much.
