Numerous referees with different abilities

[LakoLako]

I really hope in future Konami will implement referees with different statistics in order to make games more interesting. For example some statistics could be;
-STAMINA (1-5) (5 Meaning the referee is everywhere and is unlikely to miss fouls) (1 meaning the referee tires easily and is prone to missing fouls and dives)
-STRICTNESS (1-5) (5 Means the referee will frequently halt play for the smallest of tackles) (1 means the referee will not halt the game at every small barge or foul and will generally let it flow) As how many times has a referee stop you attacking by awarding a free kick allowing the opposition to position all their defenders again.
CARD FREQUENCY (1-5) (5 A referee will hand out a yellow card at the slightest nudge) (1 the referee will frequently warn players yet is reluctant to give out cards)
OFFSIDES (1-5) (5 A linesman will always correctly apply the offside rule) (1 Linesman is liable to miss many offsides)
BIG PLAYER BOOKINGS (1-5) (5 referee will not be intimidated by big name players) (1 referees are reluctant to book big name players)

There should also be an option to argue with the referees decision and depending on the player and referee it could either work or you could end up with a booking.
Also Konami please make referees look like proper referees not just faceless players in referee's costumes.

When have you seen a player argue with a referee and the call is reversed?? Maybe it would be better if the ref ran to the linesman for a chat and possible overturn call.

Great ideas

Bit unecessary as far as I'm concerned. Strictness is a good one, and it used to be in PES a few years ago I believe. Other things like stamina etc is just a bit silly in my view anyway, because that means Konami would have to alter each referee performance, and the decisions would be very random, with no consistency which would undoubtedly infuriate us with the game controller.

Was thinking of something similar myself, good idea... althogh i have never seen a player argue with a ref and win so id leave that out, but ye, some variable refs would be great, even if they wer just made up... be good if you could create them like you can create players... putting this one out there for 2011 that and a set piece editor which i suggested alreadya nd fifa have, bastards!

arguing with the ref is fine, so long as you always lose as the player never wins if he argues. booking everytime, meaning it would be stupid for you to do it, but if your in a ML semi final and get a poor decision i would do it out of anger, would be a nice addition. however the commentary would prolly ruin it, if your players passionate about a bad call and gets booked you need some good commentary to comment on whats happening, not jab at you with some crap simile.

as for the stamina i do think thats a bit stupid, a ref who couldnt keep up with play simply wouldnt be hired. and they would have to show the refs stats meaning you would exploit them. getting some proper faces is a must, i aint bothered about real life refs but like i said a few years ago why dont they use a few of there team as models or even a couple of random fans, just so they have a proper face, lets be honest the random player faces suck generally.

i wouldnt put too much thought into the refs, at the end of the day konami just need to make sure they get their decisions right as not to ruin the game. we dont want another PES5 where if you so much as breathe on a player you get booked. they gotta bring back bookings after an advantage though, why did they take that out? i mean you can ruthlessly hack somebody down of the ball without punishment

I think they should actually produce decent gameplay to start with, yes that includes the refs, but they do not need changes of this magnitude. Besides its clear that different refs respond to play in different ways already... I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about when referring to a certain Kazuki Ito.

Grass.:no:

official refs would be great with a simple 0-99 rating maybe pre-determined in the game by konami based on reputation/ability...

 

[commandos]

They should put only some players to argue with referee, players who argue in real life like Gattuso or Pippo (who is complaining for every offside)
Maybe players who's aggression is high

and it would be nice to have real referees, like Rosseti, and maybe some classic referees like Colina
