Dive Successfully to fool the ref?

[gamermani]

Hi,

I have got pro evo 2008 on my xbox 360, and i have found it very hard to dive and fool the ref in giving a free kick or penatly, is there any techniques to pull of a fake dive?

Some referee's seem more susceptible to giving FK's away for a dive, but it's all in the timing. Just keep trying and you'll eventually know the when and where to dive.

The Refs closness also affects this act of utter wankness.

If it was implemented correctly the referee's line of sight would have an impact, however I don't believe it makes one jot of difference.

Usually the referee the game that I play are African/Black. Could we change that?

I've only succeeded once or twice with dives. It's hard to time it especially when you are looking for a goal.

what difference does the refs skin colour make?

anyway back to dives...
I've tricked the ref once, I was playing my bro and his closest player was 2/3 yards away from me and I just dived and the ref gave it?! now nobody even attempted to tackle him and I got a penalty for it...

Whereas I've made a few dives outside the box and got booked(even though they look better than the one I got the penalty for)

which partially leads me to believe it could be random, like the ref just gives them every now and again no matter how good/bad you think the dive is...



anyway, anyone know how the shirt pulling works? I've yet to see it and I've a feeling its not actually been included??


PS. When I've been playing the CPU they've had a few FK's + 1 penalty for CLEARLY! diving
