Why am i being cheated

@gunners277 It's called abusing the kick off glitch, it's a rat move that some players use when they don't like to concede a goal. It can be stopped, just make sure your CM is ready to tackle the opponents forward when they kick off. I've had many opponents trying it, sometimes I forget and they get through and score. If they do score I just try my best to score the next goal. If I manage to score the next goal I stop the kick off glitch and then time waste regardless of how many minutes are left of the game. If my opponent is trying to cheat their way to a win then that is what they deserve.

Penalties are handed out like sweets in this game. I can relate to the overhead kick one because that happened to me also. Another time my defender had the ball and was bringing it out of defence. Their attacker did a sliding tackle, and missed, my defender still had the ball..."It looked as though he was clean through", instant red card for my defender. I watched the replay of the tackle because I couldn't understand why that was a red card offence and it totally baffled me. There's been a few instances like that. Then your attacker is upended with a career ending tackle and it's "a good clean tackle".

Offsides are pot luck. I've seen loads of goals scored against me and I have also scored a few that were blatantly offside, then I pass a ball to my attacker who is clearly onside and it's flagged as being offside.

I don't think the devs have ever watched a football match
