Random handballs in manager mode

What is with these random handballs in manager career mode?  I have had several with defenders illogically just hugging the ball when not under pressure, or being completely unmarked and receiving the ball and supposedly bouncing and touching a hand when I can't even see where on the replay and conceding a penalty.

Anyone else seeing this?

  • I would try and record a video of some of these instances but for some reason there doesn't seem to be a full match replay option at the end and highlights of penalties won't show the build up to them.

    I have just had a league game where I conceded 3 handball penalties.  This is happening all the time, far more than it does in real life and it is mostly actions completely out of my control and usually players that I am not actively controlling.

    I am about half way through the season and I must have given away 10 penalties for handball in the box.  Short of just recording every match in full I am not sure what I can do to show this, but I might have to give it a go if this continues because it is ruining the game for me.

    *Edit* Never mind.  I have found posts with people complaining about this exact same thing since 2015 so its clearly broken and will never be fixed regardless so I have been forced to just change the handball settings to "except penalties" in the settings.  We really shouldn't have to do this to enjoy a game.
