Has there been a tweak to referee decisions?

In the last few weeks I've noticed an real reduction in the number of fouls being awarded. A lot of obvious fouls are going un-penalised and its really affecting H2H gameplay. 

I wonder if there's been a change to the programming but its gone a little too far? I've had strikers hacked down from behind a few times and no fouls given, and overall its noticeable the drop in the number of referring decisions being made. Please can you look into it.

  • Yeah I’ve noticed it too. My guys get manhandled in and around the box and it’s now rarely called. Pretty annoying if you ask me, since I’d rather see attacking football flourish. The absolute worst is when you’re facing a four- or five-star difficulty AI and they get away with the shoulder grab that slows your attacker and lets the ball run away from them. It’s not a play that users are even able to execute, but it’s ended countless attacks for me. Absolutely infuriating.

    If one of the points of the game is to build an ultimate squad of the most skilled players in the world then shouldn’t the officiating favor skill over brawn?
