I have seen the same thing. If I recall correctly, the rule is that if the hand is moved to intercept the ball, it's a hand ball (same for arm movement too). If the hand or arm is not moved toward the ball and the ball strikes it, that is not supposed to be a hand ball. If I'm right about that, is it possible that the game is looking *that* carefully to see if it's really a hand ball? Dunno, and I kind of doubt it.

For anyone frustrated with this game right now like me, a great alternative is playing Be a Pro, which to me is the best its been. Im having an amazing time with BAP in contrast to the bugged MM.

Ive yet to see one also. Im also 99% sure the rule is if you move in front of the ball with your hand or arm, its a handball. If it hits your hand but you didnt have time to move it and you are in a natural position, it is not a handball. Anything else is refs disgression which is why you see refs with such varying calls towards handballs. Refs disgression and natural position are important because when i played in college guys on every team woukd kick it at your hand in the box instead or around you. Happens all the time, its akin to diving imo. It used to be automatic handball until players starting exploiting it.

Is goal line technology something you have to turn on?

I've put a lot of time into the game already, and haven't seen one reviewed. Had a couple close calls, too.

Brah....Trying to create offense with Liverpool without Sturridge is painful!

Loving it, just need to play with the difficulty and sliders. Started a Crystal Palace(for kicks), opening game vs Arsenal and I tied it late(something like the 85') get a good bounce and take off, defender keeps pace and misses his slide tackle in the box. Line up take the shot and boom off the cross bar. Scramble in the box results in the keeper taking out one of my guys so I get a 2nd pk.

Arsenal's keeper saved it and the whistle blew. Never seen that before(back to back pks) just need to maybe bump up to world class so the cpu shoots more.

Just had a cracking game Vs Swansea in the league cup round of 16.

(me)Nottingham Forest 4 def Swansea 3

I was down 2 nil at halftime after an own goal from a low cross and a Bony header from a cross.

I scored my first goal after I forced a turnover at halfway flicked onto the wing, cut inside and fired a shot which the keeper parried straight to the feet of my striker for a tap in goal.

Then deep into injury time down 2-1 I was awarded a free kick about 3 yards outside the box. I've never hit a free kick goal ever. Up steps Chris Cohen and somehow slots it into the top left corner to force extra time.

In the 1st period of extra time Swansea put a nice play together and carved open my tired midfield (who were starting to cramp up after just about every sprint) and Sigurdsson curved a sweet ball past two diving defenders and my outstretched goalie from just outside the edge of the box.

Then in the 2 minutes of extra time (yes, 2 minutes, not 5 mins lol) I passed it out with a throw from my goalie to my LB. He crossed it to my RM and then about a 15 pass sequence (which I've never done, lol) ended with my CAM wrapping a finesse shot into the top right corner for a 3-3 score.

The 2nd period of extra time was epic. The whole game was in driving rain and by the 2nd period of ET players were dropping like flies with cramps. The game literally slowed to a crawl. 5 minutes of injury time were just about over with us looking like we're off to a shootout when I was awarded another free kick right on the edge of the box.

I musta replayed that foul 10 times because I was sure it was a penalty, not a free kick.

Up steps Chris Cohen, and again he slots it into the top corner with literally the last kick of the game.

Unbelievable drama.

epic game. I ended up with 3 injuries and now I travel to Cardiff for a top of the table clash.

Next league game is a quarter final date at Anfield with Liverpool. Can't wait for that atmosphere!

Great story! Free kicks this year are definitely better in my opinion. Feel much more organic

It's like watching a real live Liverpool game isn't it?
